Homage to Catatonia is a book by Orwell George. Set in a mental institution in 1930s Spain, a group of catatonics are set upon by cruel guards of the institution and their practices are sometimes condoned by the nurses. The war between the inmates and the staff hired to protect and nurse them causes fractions amongst the other remaining inhabitants, some of whom help the nurses, or assist the catatonics usually for their own purposes. Others remain passive the whole affair, appeasing both parties.
