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.
Emma Larkin is the pseudonym for an American journalist who was born and raised in Asia, studied the Burmese language at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, and covers Asia widely in her journalism from her base in Bangkok. She has been visiting Burma for close to fifteen years. Emily Durante has been acting since the age of seven, performing in a number of stage plays professionally, in the community, and at the college level. Other performance credits include commercial and industrial voice work, educational live theater, and singing telegrams. She has been narrating audiobooks for over ten years. Her titles include the Midnight Twins trilogy by Jacqueline Mitchard, Casting Off by Nicole R. Dickson, Impossible and Locked Inside both by Nancy Werlin, and Smooth Talking Stranger by Lisa Kleypus. She has also directed audiobooks, including the Earphones Award-winning performance of Heaven's Keep narrated by Buck Schirner. Emily resides in the Philadelphia area with her husband and two children.
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?
评分这本应该是想读很久却一直搁置,真的读起来的时候很快。快来源于:文字简单;全是小故事。然后才发现中文版是王晓渔翻译,但我很怀疑它现在能否再版。 那些受迫害故事,让我想起2666里面那些描述奸杀案的章节。内心受到的冲击,以至于非常难忍,只好迅速翻下去。种种,在这里那里里都在发生的历史的重演。 作者写作这本书是在2004年左右,也即是在素姬还在断断续续under house Arrest期间。重点是以奥威尔的1984和缅甸岁月作为引子,以奥威尔在缅甸任职的时间地点为顺序,找寻他的踪迹。但,显而易见,找到的是一个非常近似于1984社会的缅甸(2004年),propaganda、censorship……。当中也有提到罗兴亚人,多民族国家面临的种种问题。。
评分一本缅甸游记,作者预设的立场过强。书里的人全是愤青的既视感。

评分看了很久很久,一直听着rice叔的unplayed piano。对比现在的缅甸,不知作者会有什么新的想法。

评分2015年9-10月我在缅甸旅行。时间距离这本书中作者在缅甸已经有10多年了。毫无疑问缅甸发生了翻天覆地的变化,但也有一些东西从未改变。 我在仰光的住处是印度人聚居区。这里离苏雷塔很近,离中国城也不远。这里年代久远,在我住的B&B傍边的小街道上都是殖民时期的旧式房屋,泛...
