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.

对局外人而言,缅甸是一个“密不透风的国度”。一方面是“风景完美如明信片”,另一面却是“拥有世界最差人权记录”。然而,“整个5000万人民遭到的高压竟然可以完全从视野中消失”——这让旅行者、同时也是新闻人的艾玛·拉金深为震惊:这一切是怎样发生的?而在此平静的幻象...

極權政治下的文學聚會

原來以為會是很深入的一篇遊記,但是感覺遊曆以及思考都很淺,浮光掠影的走過george orwell走過的地方,然後也就是僅僅走過瞭而已。

All authoritarian regimes act alike, all authoritarian regimes fear alike - its own people.
