Finding George Orwell in Burma 2025 pdf epub mobi 电子书
两个月前中国新年,在去曼德勒和眉谬旅行前,向学生借了这本台版书,学生笑说,里面的汉语太难,她一直没能读完,不过这本书正好可以成为我的旅行读物。我怕弄脏学生的书,也没带着上路,终于在来缅甸的第十一个月,花了两三天得闲读完。 这本书的前半部分,读来不适。总觉得...
评分 评分美国记者艾玛·拉金在缅甸寻访了奥威尔的生活轨迹,后者是一位英帝国时期缅甸殖民地的警察,但随后做出决定,离开了这种代表帝国权力的殖民者工作并令人费解的选择成为一名作家。再之后的故事想必世人皆知。奥威尔写出了《动物农场》和《1984》两部杰出的反极权和乌托邦的著作...
评分这篇书评所遭遇的,恰是对本书最好的评论。 国人向来喜欢看国际新闻,并给以羡慕或庆幸的褒贬,同时不屑于那些只关心身边事的某些发达国家人民。国人对国内新闻事件的褒贬,基本如出一辙条件反射似地因昨天、今天、明天所看到的消息而愤怒于时时完全对立的双方。不及真相揭开,...

In one of the most intrepid travelogues in recent memory, Emma Larkin tells of the year she spent traveling through Burma, using as a compass the life and work of George Orwell, whom many of Burma's underground teahouse intellectuals call simply the Prophet.In stirring prose, she provides a powerful reckoning with one of the world's least free countries.
Finding George Orwell in Burma is a brave and revelatory reconnaissance of modern Burma, one of the world's grimmest and most shuttered police states, where the term Orwellian aptly describes the life endured by the country's people. A truer picture of authoritarianism than anyone has written since, perhaps, Orwell himself.
All authoritarian regimes act alike, all authoritarian regimes fear alike - its own people.
评分文笔流畅,超带入性。
评分假借奥威尔之名的“政治宣传册”
评分一直想去看的国家,书中的人物感觉还是浮光掠影,并没有去深入了解和剖析,就是路过聊天而已,作者对于人物的预设立场也很强。但还是提高了大量关于这个国家的信息,特别是老百姓的日常,让人从一个方面看到了现代缅甸人的生活。
评分年度最佳读本之一
