Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ...must die at once, as a good bull should. Up came the swarthy Lagartijillo and eyed the animal. The toro tried to rush him, evading the scarlet cloak three or four times in one attack, a feat which made the immense crowd fairly howl with delight. But the man was firm, and equally agile; the grandeur of his courage was so great, that, as I gazed, it seemed as if his body grew physically greater. Then, after much pretty "business," and the display of a really wonderful nerve, the agile Lagartijillo gave the bull the coup de grdce so swiftly that one hardly had time to see his thrust before the toro was sinking on his knees, Vol. 1. 13 with blood gushing out of his mouth. He died in righteous anger, the great pathos of his death conveyed, not in kicks and struggles, but in one loud groan in which were commingled pain and easement from pain. Then Spain manifested herself. The wonderful chivalric sentiment--that courtly spirit which never dies--took possession of the dense, blue-clad crowd sitting in the eye of the sun, and of the dandies of the sombra. Because he had been so mercifully quick Lagartijillo received a great ovation. Hats, cigar-cases, cigars, dollars, collars--all sorts of things--were thrown into the arena, including a peasant's leather wine-bottle. The magnificent torero, all in scarlet silk and tunic of blazing gold, as a matador should be, walked round by the barriers with his hand on his heart. His fierce colours almost wounded the eyesight. An attendant squire, in blue and silver, threw back the hats and personal things, retaining a handsome pocket-book thrown by the Baron de Sangarren. This interlude was within an ace of being over, when the courtly young man spied the "leather bottell" This was an...

Homage to Catalonia is George Orwell's personal account of his experiences and observations fighting for the POUM militia of the Republican army during the Spanish Civil War. The war was one of the defining events of his political outlook and a significant part of what led him to write in 1946, "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for Democratic Socialism, as I understand it." The first edition was published in the United Kingdom in 1938. The book was not published in the United States until February 1952, when it appeared with an influential preface by Lionel Trilling. The only translation published in Orwell's lifetime was into Italian, in December 1948. A French translation by Yvonne Davet-with whom Orwell corresponded, commenting on her translation and providing explanatory notes-in 1938-39, was not published until five years after Orwell's death. Book Summary: Orwell served as a private, a corporal (cabo) and-when the informal command structure of the militia gave way to a conventional hierarchy in May 1937-as a lieutenant, on a provisional basis, in Catalonia and Aragon from December 1936 until June 1937. In June 1937, the leftist political party with whose militia he served (the POUM, the Workers' Party of Marxist Unification, an anti-Stalinist communist party) was declared an illegal organisation, and Orwell was consequently forced to flee. Having arrived in Barcelona on 26 December 1936, Orwell told John McNair, the Independent Labour Party's (ILP) representative there, that he had "come to Spain to join the militia to fight against Fascism." He also told McNair that "he would like to write about the situation and endeavour to stir working class opinion in Britain and France." McNair took him to the POUM barracks, where Orwell immediately enlisted. "Orwell did not know that two months before he arrived in Spain, the [Soviet law enforcement agency] NKVD's resident in Spain, Aleksandr Orlov, had assured NKVD Headquarters, 'the Trotskyist organisation POUM can easily be liquidated'-by those, the Communists, whom Orwell took to be allies in the fight against Franco."

A Passionate Apprentice comprises the first years of Virginia Woolf's Journal - from 1879 to 1909. Beginning in early January, when Woolf was almost fifteen, the pages open at a time when she was slowly recovering from a period of madness following her mother's death in May 1895. Between this January and the autumn of 1904, Woolf would suffer the deaths of her half-sister and of her father, and survive a summer of madness and suicidal depression. Behind the loss and confusion, however, and always near the surface of her writing is a constructive force at work - a powerful impulse towards health. It was an urge, through writing, to bring order and continuity out of chaos. Putting things into words and giving them deliberate expression had the effect of restoring reality to much that might otherwise have remained insubstantial. This early chronicle represents the beginning of the future Virginia Woolf's apprenticeship as a novelist. These pages show that rare instance when a writer of great importance leaves behind not only the actual documents of an apprenticeship, but also a biographical record of that momentous period as well. In Woolf's words, 'Here is a volume of fairly acute life (the first really lived year of my life).'

The intellectual scope and cultural impact of British writers cannot be assessed without reference to their European fortunes. These essays, prepared by an international team of scholars, critics and translators, record the ways in which Virginia Woolf has been translated, evaluated and emulated in different national and linguistic areas of Europe. Diverse as her reception has been, as analyst of consciousness, as a decadent (censored and banned), as stylistic innovator of Modernism, as crusading feminist and socialist, and as a model for other writers, she has emerged as one of the foremost writers and principal icons of the century.
