Description
Norman Lewis's travels in Burma are a testament to his perseverance and determination. Despite the challenges he faced, including insurgent armies controlling much of the countryside, he managed to visit almost every corner of the country by whatever means necessary.
From District officers to those imprisoned in Rangoon's jail, Lewis met an incredible range of people during his journeys. His stories bring to life the vibrant colors, gaiety, and charm of the East, offering a unique glimpse into a fascinating culture.
This book is a masterful account of one man's experiences in Burma, full of vivid descriptions and engaging characters. It provides a rare insight into a country that was largely off-limits to outsiders at the time.
