One of Orwell's books to re-read every few years. ( ) This was Orwell's first novel and I'm very glad he improved. This wasn't a "bad" work, but not as well written or as satisfying as 1984, Animal Farm, or Keep the Aspidistra Flying. There was no subtly in this book, nothing graceful, nothing to ponder and chew on. It seemed as if everything was large, loud, and in your face. The characters were either reprehensible, idiotic, or pathetic. The story takes place in Burma during the British Empire. It was the story of racism and corruption. I listened to this on audio (10 hrs 17 mins=269 pages) A way of viewing how the Raj worked on peoples lives and relationships - whilst fiction it is based on the first hand experiences of the author which gives the narrative the feel of authenticity. The overall feeling is one of melancholy - perhaps the intended emotion to be felt regarding life in that outpost of the Raj at that time? El protagonista de Los días de Birmania, el señor Flory, es el representante de una empresa maderera relegado a una remota provincia. Su apertura de miras hacia los nativos lo acerca al doctor Veraswami, quien tras caer en desgracia ante U Po Kyin, el poderoso y corrupto submagistrado local, necesita su patrocinio para formar parte del club social de Kyauktada, hasta ahora un reducto de los blancos. Por otra parte, la llegada de Elizabeth Lackersteen, una joven encantadora y caprichosa, provocará casi literalmente un terremoto en la pequeña comunidad.
Overall, Burmese Days is a thoroughly impressive piece of work which is a suspenseful, tragic and at times beautiful depiction of upper Burma. It marks a great contribution towards an artistic reflection of the issue of race (and more subtly in the text, gender) as well as providing insight into the corruption and immorality behind Anglo- Indian imperialism. An undeniable masterpiece. Gehört zu VerlagsreihenGreat Orwell (2) Ist enthalten inIst gekürzt inAuszeichnungenBemerkenswerte Listen
Die Schilderung der Kabalen und die Darstellung der bornierten Mitglieder des Clubs der Weissen beruhen auf Erfahrungen aus Orwells eigener Offizierszeit in Burma.
