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.

两个月前中国新年,在去曼德勒和眉谬旅行前,向学生借了这本台版书,学生笑说,里面的汉语太难,她一直没能读完,不过这本书正好可以成为我的旅行读物。我怕弄脏学生的书,也没带着上路,终于在来缅甸的第十一个月,花了两三天得闲读完。 这本书的前半部分,读来不适。总觉得...

一本缅甸游记,作者预设的立场过强。书里的人全是愤青的既视感。
