具體描述
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. BACKCOVER: “A truer picture of authoritarianism than anyone has written since, perhaps, Orwell himself.”—Mother Jones
“Mournful, meditative, appealingly idiosyncratic . . . an exercise in literary detection but also a political travelogue.”—The New York Times
“Combining literary criticism with solid field reporting, [Larkin] captures the country at its best and, more often, its worst.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“[A] sobering, journalistic memoir . . . A disquieting profile of a country and its people.”—Newsweek

評分 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...
