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

書所記錄的內容,是一個極佳的紐帶,連接奧威爾時代的殖民緬甸與奧威爾語言之下的極權緬甸,值得我們反思帝國主義與極權主義的關聯與本質差彆。雖然知道緬甸是軍人獨裁國傢,但確實沒有深入瞭解過這個國傢的曆史與人民生活狀況,畢竟在亞洲,遠一點有東西朝鮮兩朵奇葩競相爭艷...
