Description
A Savage Dreamland: Journeys in Burma by David Eimer explores one of the world's most enigmatic countries, Burma, which has long been shrouded in mystery. For nearly fifty years, the country was isolated from the outside world under a paranoid military dictatorship. David Eimer's travelogue takes readers on a journey through this captivating land, from the tropical south to the Burmese Himalayas, and introduces them to its complex mix of cultures, religions, and resources. The story is told through the voices of the people Eimer encounters, including former political exiles, squatters, radical monks, Rohingya refugees, princesses, warlords, and ethnic minorities. Through his vivid account of life, history, culture, and politics, Eimer chronicles the awakening of a country as it returns to the global fold. This authoritative and ground-breaking travel writing offers a unique insight into modern Burma's struggles and contradictions.
