A National Review Top Ten Best Nonfiction Books of the Century "One of Orwell's very best books and perhaps the best book that exists on the Spanish Civil War."--The New Yorker In 1936, originally intending merely to report on the Spanish Civil War as a journalist, George Orwell found himself embroiled as a participant--as a member of the Workers' Party of Marxist Unity. Fighting against the Fascists, he described in painfully vivid and occasionally comic detail life in the trenches--with a "democratic army" composed of men with no ranks, no titles, and often no weapons--and his near fatal wounding. As the politics became tangled, Orwell was pulled into a heartbreaking conflict between his own personal ideals and the complicated realities of political power struggles. Considered one of the finest works by a man V. S. Pritchett called "the wintry conscience of a generation," Homage to Catalonia is both Orwell's memoir of his experiences at the front and his tribute to those who died in what he called a fight for common decency. This edition features a new foreword by Adam Hochschild placing the war in greater context and discussing the evolution of Orwell's views on the Spanish Civil War. "No one except George Orwell . . . made the violence and self-dramatization of Spain so burning and terrible."-- Alfred Kazin, New York Times "A wise book, one that once read will never be forgotten."--Chicago Sunday TribuneBinding Type: Paperback

Very compact, yet absorbent
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 48.00" x 24.00"
This is a unique kind of towel that has very little volume and rolls up to a tiny size. It would be great for a camping trip, or any situation where size is important. It's also surprisingly absorbent, considering how thin it is. I use it for toweling off after taking a shower at the gym. I should also mention that it dries very quickly. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is kind of "sticky" when you're running it across your body. That takes some getting used to.

Great quality, and great performance!
Color: Purple, Size: 48.00" x 24.00"
Got this to take on a camping road trip where we camped at three different locations all around Arizona. Needed something that would dry quick, but also be absorbent to dry me off, and this exceeded my expectations. It’s a really nice brushed, cotton kind of feel, but dries quickly. Next time I will order a larger size though. I’ve had this one for a couple years.

Must buy for traveling
Color: Pale Rose, Size: 60.00" x 30.00"
Bought two of these towels for our trip to an all inclusive in Punta Cana, DR. I totally loved these towels and I wish I would've bought them before. This towel is super light weight and easy to pack. I bought the biggest size available and it was perfect. They dry very quickly and very convenient to use. It is not the typical towel so when you use It the first time it feels a little weird but you will end up loving it. It dries your body very well. It has a little loop that you can use to hang it so it can dry. I am 5'0 and couldve done the 24x48 size but I went with the 30x60 for both hubby and I.

Great towels!
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 40.00" x 20.00"
I absolutely love these towels! I bought them while living abroad and they lasted me for the entire year and a half and were the perfect packing size. I also love that they offer different sizes. Machine wash, easy to pack, soak up lots of water for such light weight and thin material.

Great for my lawn chair! Must have for the summer!
Color: Gray, Size: 40.00" x 20.00", Color: Gray, Size: 40.00" x 20.00"
I got the 40x20 in the grey and it fits perfectly folded in half for my chair! I get so sweaty so this helps keep it at bay. The little button clip is nice so it doesn’t fly away. The grey just matches perfectly! Lightweight & dries quickly. Perfect for the hot summer days at sporting events. Already recommend to my family members!
