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...

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...

评分

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。

评分

不怎么喜欢《缅甸岁月》,人物过于脸谱化;对《一九八四》呢?感情有点复杂。奥威尔作品中,最喜欢的是最先出版的《巴黎伦敦落魄记》。

评分

Keep the faith, and do not be cynical.

终于看完了!如诗如画。

看了很久很久,一直听着rice叔的unplayed piano。对比现在的缅甸,不知作者会有什么新的想法。
