Description
Burmese Days is a novel that explores the complexities of colonial society in 1920s Burma. The story follows a white timber merchant, John Flory, who challenges the conventional views of his fellow Europeans, and his friendship with an Indian doctor, Veraswami, which leads to a deadly rivalry.
Based on Orwell's experiences as a policeman in Burma, the novel offers a scathing portrayal of the corrupt colonial system, and the consequences of Flory's actions for himself and those around him, including the woman he loves, Elizabeth Lackersteen.
Published in 2021, this edition of Burmese Days is a thought-provoking and timely exploration of the human condition, set against the backdrop of a tumultuous period in history.
