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.
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.

评分一直想去看的国家,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。
评分中规中矩的游记式纪实文学,后殖民式物语。全面、深刻,有感召力,但没有沉淀。不过这并非因为作者没有同理心:只能说拉尔金虽然有很深的亚洲背景,然而毕竟不属于极权语境中的一部分,缺乏对这种叙事下的他者感同身受的能力。 当然,这仍然是一本了解缅甸的非常好的读本。这个国家与你国诸多相似之处,一丘之貉,一点不为过。

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,...
