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.

读后感
在未看艾玛·拉金的《在缅甸寻找奥威尔》之前，我一直以为奥威尔的反乌托邦思想及著作源自西班牙内战，以及那个时期苏联所表现出的恐怖与残暴，比如阅读《一九八四》，脑海中便浮现出与老大哥形象对应的苏联或与之紧密联系的极权国家，缅甸则从未出现在想象性视野之中。但该书...
评分书所记录的内容，是一个极佳的纽带，连接奥威尔时代的殖民缅甸与奥威尔语言之下的极权缅甸，值得我们反思帝国主义与极权主义的关联与本质差别。虽然知道缅甸是军人独裁国家，但确实没有深入了解过这个国家的历史与人民生活状况，毕竟在亚洲，远一点有东西朝鲜两朵奇葩竞相争艳...
评分这个故事很流行：缅甸有这么一个传说：有一条恶龙，每年要求村庄献祭一个处女，每年这个村庄都会有一个少年英雄去与恶龙搏斗，但无人生还。又一个英雄出发时，有人悄悄尾随。龙穴铺满金银财宝，英雄用剑刺死恶龙，然后坐在尸身上，看着闪烁的珠宝，慢慢地长出鳞片、尾巴和触角...
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...

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?
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。
评分终于看完了！如诗如画。
评分Keep the faith, and do not be cynical.
