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.

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...

我也覺得作者立場太強 浮光掠影地去瞭幾個地方罷瞭

评分

George Orwll和Burma是賣點,吸引瞭我的眼球,結果Emma Larkin絮絮叨叨到最後幾乎讀不下去。不過前兩章還是有幾節亮點。

评分

假藉奧威爾之名的“政治宣傳冊”

评分

中規中矩的遊記式紀實文學,後殖民式物語。全麵、深刻,有感召力,但沒有沉澱。不過這並非因為作者沒有同理心:隻能說拉爾金雖然有很深的亞洲背景,然而畢竟不屬於極權語境中的一部分,缺乏對這種敘事下的他者感同身受的能力。 當然,這仍然是一本瞭解緬甸的非常好的讀本。這個國傢與你國諸多相似之處,一丘之貉,一點不為過。
