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. BACKCOVER: “A truer picture of authoritarianism than anyone has written since, perhaps, Orwell himself.”—Mother Jones
“Mournful, meditative, appealingly idiosyncratic . . . an exercise in literary detection but also a political travelogue.”—The New York Times
“Combining literary criticism with solid field reporting, [Larkin] captures the country at its best and, more often, its worst.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“[A] sobering, journalistic memoir . . . A disquieting profile of a country and its people.”—Newsweek

评分高中的时候，因为模联的缘故在了解人权问题时关注过缅甸的历史。那时适逢昂山素季去领取她三十年前获得的诺贝尔和平奖。当事也曾看过这部关于她的传记电影《The Lady》，对于她被缅甸军政府被软禁十余年但在其间仍不遗余力为缅甸人权发声印象深刻。还记得她在诺奖颁奖时主题为...
评分两个月前中国新年，在去曼德勒和眉谬旅行前，向学生借了这本台版书，学生笑说，里面的汉语太难，她一直没能读完，不过这本书正好可以成为我的旅行读物。我怕弄脏学生的书，也没带着上路，终于在来缅甸的第十一个月，花了两三天得闲读完。 这本书的前半部分，读来不适。总觉得...
评分倪炎元 2012-03-10《中国时报》 以《1984》、《动物农庄》等政治寓言小说传世的英国作家欧威尔，究竟是经历何种特殊的生命体验，才能书写出那种统治老大哥无所不在的恐怖氛围？过往流行的说法，多半指是缘自欧威尔参与西班牙内战中的苦痛记忆，但美国记者埃玛.拉金却企图推翻...
