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.

讀後感
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...
評分美国记者艾玛·拉金在缅甸寻访了奥威尔的生活轨迹，后者是一位英帝国时期缅甸殖民地的警察，但随后做出决定，离开了这种代表帝国权力的殖民者工作并令人费解的选择成为一名作家。再之后的故事想必世人皆知。奥威尔写出了《动物农场》和《1984》两部杰出的反极权和乌托邦的著作...
評分 評分 評分2015年9-10月我在缅甸旅行。时间距离这本书中作者在缅甸已经有10多年了。毫无疑问缅甸发生了翻天覆地的变化，但也有一些东西从未改变。 我在仰光的住处是印度人聚居区。这里离苏雷塔很近，离中国城也不远。这里年代久远，在我住的B&B傍边的小街道上都是殖民时期的旧式房屋，泛...
用戶評價
很好看。重走奧威爾的緬甸之路，無論是瞭解緬甸還是奧威爾都是很好的讀物。作者有很強的當地文化與語言背景，能深入到旅遊路綫之外的地方，帶著異域風情的寓言、文獻和人文風情都蠻有意思。而無論是書中的緬甸，還是文本所要錶達的觀點，都很有熟悉的感覺。緬甸與某國太像瞭，但可惜的是，不知作者看到昂山素季和今日緬甸掙紮中的民主轉型又會作何感想——書中一些判斷還是過於陳於錶麵瞭。
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All authoritarian regimes act alike, all authoritarian regimes fear alike - its own people.
评分一直想去看的國傢，書中的人物感覺還是浮光掠影，並沒有去深入瞭解和剖析，就是路過聊天而已，作者對於人物的預設立場也很強。但還是提高瞭大量關於這個國傢的信息，特彆是老百姓的日常，讓人從一個方麵看到瞭現代緬甸人的生活。
评分極權政治下的文學聚會
