Reader's note

One of George Orwell's earliest novels, Burmese Days was first published in 1934. It is a passionately felt indictment of imperialism as he experienced it as a Burma Police Officer. Flory, a timber merchant, has educated himself to a point of self-disgust and acute horror of the other English people in a small town in upper Burma. Then Elizabeth Lackersteen arrives in Kyauktada to stay with her uncle. Flory sees in her a chance to escape from his drunken, womanising bachelordom but he reckons without the wiles of U Po Kyin, the magistrate; the jealousy of a scheming ex-mistress, and, above all, the cold opportunism of Elizabth herself. A true classic in every sense of the word! Add this vintage penguin to your library today!
