文笔流畅,超带入性。
评分终于看完了!如诗如画。
评分这本应该是想读很久却一直搁置,真的读起来的时候很快。快来源于:文字简单;全是小故事。然后才发现中文版是王晓渔翻译,但我很怀疑它现在能否再版。 那些受迫害故事,让我想起2666里面那些描述奸杀案的章节。内心受到的冲击,以至于非常难忍,只好迅速翻下去。种种,在这里那里里都在发生的历史的重演。 作者写作这本书是在2004年左右,也即是在素姬还在断断续续under house Arrest期间。重点是以奥威尔的1984和缅甸岁月作为引子,以奥威尔在缅甸任职的时间地点为顺序,找寻他的踪迹。但,显而易见,找到的是一个非常近似于1984社会的缅甸(2004年),propaganda、censorship……。当中也有提到罗兴亚人,多民族国家面临的种种问题。。
评分在不能说话的年代,能做的只有不要忘记
评分假借奥威尔之名的“政治宣传册”
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.
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...
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,...
