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. BACKCOVER: “A truer picture of authoritarianism than anyone has written since, perhaps, Orwell himself.”—Mother Jones
“Mournful, meditative, appealingly idiosyncratic . . . an exercise in literary detection but also a political travelogue.”—The New York Times
“Combining literary criticism with solid field reporting, [Larkin] captures the country at its best and, more often, its worst.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“[A] sobering, journalistic memoir . . . A disquieting profile of a country and its people.”—Newsweek
具體描述
讀後感
對局外人而言，緬甸是一個“密不透風的國度”。一方麵是“風景完美如明信片”，另一麵卻是“擁有世界最差人權記錄”。然而，“整個5000萬人民遭到的高壓竟然可以完全從視野中消失”——這讓旅行者、同時也是新聞人的艾瑪·拉金深為震驚：這一切是怎樣發生的？而在此平靜的幻象...
評分高中的時候，因為模聯的緣故在瞭解人權問題時關注過緬甸的曆史。那時適逢昂山素季去領取她三十年前獲得的諾貝爾和平奬。當事也曾看過這部關於她的傳記電影《The Lady》，對於她被緬甸軍政府被軟禁十餘年但在其間仍不遺餘力為緬甸人權發聲印象深刻。還記得她在諾奬頒奬時主題為...
評分2015年9-10月我在緬甸旅行。時間距離這本書中作者在緬甸已經有10多年瞭。毫無疑問緬甸發生瞭翻天覆地的變化，但也有一些東西從未改變。 我在仰光的住處是印度人聚居區。這裏離蘇雷塔很近，離中國城也不遠。這裏年代久遠，在我住的B&B傍邊的小街道上都是殖民時期的舊式房屋，泛...
評分倪炎元 2012-03-10《中國時報》 以《1984》、《動物農莊》等政治寓言小說傳世的英國作傢歐威爾，究竟是經曆何種特殊的生命體驗，纔能書寫齣那種統治老大哥無所不在的恐怖氛圍？過往流行的說法，多半指是緣自歐威爾參與西班牙內戰中的苦痛記憶，但美國記者埃瑪.拉金卻企圖推翻...
評分在未看艾瑪·拉金的《在緬甸尋找奧威爾》之前，我一直以為奧威爾的反烏托邦思想及著作源自西班牙內戰，以及那個時期蘇聯所錶現齣的恐怖與殘暴，比如閱讀《一九八四》，腦海中便浮現齣與老大哥形象對應的蘇聯或與之緊密聯係的極權國傢，緬甸則從未齣現在想象性視野之中。但該書...
