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. A truer picture of authoritarianism than anyone has written since, perhaps, Orwell himself.

讀後感
多数读者了解乔治·奥威尔，还是通过《一九八四》与《动物庄园》这样两部“反乌托邦”的作品。说来尴尬，在现下，知道“一九八四”的人，恐怕要比知道“乌托邦”的多上不少。究其原因，大概是前者更容易被对号入座，而乌托邦，则已经是过期的幻想。 《一九八四》是一次对于极权...
評分“多一个人看奥威尔，就多了一分自由的保障。”这句印在中文版《一九八四》封面上的话，很好地说明了奥威尔的力量所在。读过《一九八四》的人们，都会惊叹于其中精确的预言，也会产生好奇：奥威尔为什么具有预言能力？ 这个问题可能不止一个答案。虽然很多知识分子在 1956 年赫...
評分高中的时候，因为模联的缘故在了解人权问题时关注过缅甸的历史。那时适逢昂山素季去领取她三十年前获得的诺贝尔和平奖。当事也曾看过这部关于她的传记电影《The Lady》，对于她被缅甸军政府被软禁十余年但在其间仍不遗余力为缅甸人权发声印象深刻。还记得她在诺奖颁奖时主题为...
評分在未看艾玛·拉金的《在缅甸寻找奥威尔》之前，我一直以为奥威尔的反乌托邦思想及著作源自西班牙内战，以及那个时期苏联所表现出的恐怖与残暴，比如阅读《一九八四》，脑海中便浮现出与老大哥形象对应的苏联或与之紧密联系的极权国家，缅甸则从未出现在想象性视野之中。但该书...
用戶評價
終於看完瞭！如詩如畫。
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?
评分終於看完瞭！如詩如畫。
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。
