This text was far too relatable (to me personally) considering that it was written 100 years before I spent my childhood in the same place. It reminded me so much of the great times I had there, that I actually started crying while reading it.

I'm glad I finally got around to reading this book! It showed me a unique and very human perspective on things I only knew from historical facts and political discussions. I will probably talk about this book a lot and discuss certain things Orwell talks about. And I'm excited to do that.

Wenn ich aber einen lebendigen Arbeiter aus Fleisch und Blut im Kampf mit seinem natürlichen Feind, dem Polizisten sehe, brauche ich mich nicht zu fragen, auf wessen Seite ich stehe.
— Mein Katalonien by George Orwell (Page 155)
