原来以为会是很深入的一篇游记,但是感觉游历以及思考都很浅,浮光掠影的走过george orwell走过的地方,然后也就是仅仅走过了而已。
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。
评分看了很久很久,一直听着rice叔的unplayed piano。对比现在的缅甸,不知作者会有什么新的想法。

评分Not a big fan of Orwell, however, Emma Larkin only used him as a compass to reorganize her own journey of discovering this country, to find out the secret life of Eric Blair in his Burmese days, the reality about Burma. She expressed what the Burmese people could not express themselves, maybe a sad repetition of Orientalism?
Emma Larkin is the pseudonym for an American journalist who was born and raised in Asia, studied the Burmese language at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, and covers Asia widely in her journalism from her base in Bangkok. She has been visiting Burma for close to fifteen years. Emily Durante has been acting since the age of seven, performing in a number of stage plays professionally, in the community, and at the college level. Other performance credits include commercial and industrial voice work, educational live theater, and singing telegrams. She has been narrating audiobooks for over ten years. Her titles include the Midnight Twins trilogy by Jacqueline Mitchard, Casting Off by Nicole R. Dickson, Impossible and Locked Inside both by Nancy Werlin, and Smooth Talking Stranger by Lisa Kleypus. She has also directed audiobooks, including the Earphones Award-winning performance of Heaven's Keep narrated by Buck Schirner. Emily resides in the Philadelphia area with her husband and two children.
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.
多数读者了解乔治·奥威尔,还是通过《一九八四》与《动物庄园》这样两部“反乌托邦”的作品。说来尴尬,在现下,知道“一九八四”的人,恐怕要比知道“乌托邦”的多上不少。究其原因,大概是前者更容易被对号入座,而乌托邦,则已经是过期的幻想。 《一九八四》是一次对于极权...
评分#阅读时光#《在缅甸寻找乔治·奥威尔》 辅助材料:电影《昂山素季》(吕克贝松导演);《缅甸岁月》(作者乔治·奥威尔) 在读这本书之前,对缅甸的历史和现在其实并没有什么了解,这十几年来缅甸发生了天翻地覆的变化。这本书的作者美国记者艾玛·拉金于20世纪90年代在缅甸旅...
评分高中的时候,因为模联的缘故在了解人权问题时关注过缅甸的历史。那时适逢昂山素季去领取她三十年前获得的诺贝尔和平奖。当事也曾看过这部关于她的传记电影《The Lady》,对于她被缅甸军政府被软禁十余年但在其间仍不遗余力为缅甸人权发声印象深刻。还记得她在诺奖颁奖时主题为...
评分倪炎元 2012-03-10《中国时报》 以《1984》、《动物农庄》等政治寓言小说传世的英国作家欧威尔,究竟是经历何种特殊的生命体验,才能书写出那种统治老大哥无所不在的恐怖氛围?过往流行的说法,多半指是缘自欧威尔参与西班牙内战中的苦痛记忆,但美国记者埃玛.拉金却企图推翻...
评分本书作者艾玛·拉金,于2011年前用了多年时间走遍了乔治·奥威尔当年在缅甸曾经驻足过的地方,她甚至寻到了一些帝国时代的故人,通过他们回忆起当年这位帝国治下警察,曾在缅甸生活的吉光片羽;然而物是人非,当年缅甸还有着大英帝国的影子:英式俱乐部,网球场,能吃到西餐的...
