Krátký popis
In the Burmese provincial town of Kyauktada, the world-weary John
Flory - a thirty-something English teak dealer - leads a life of
quiet disillusionment, hardly mixing with the natives or the expat
community, and deriving some comfort only from his conversations
with an Indian friend, Doctor Veraswami, and the attentions of his
local mistress. His prospects seem to improve when he meets the
orphaned niece of a timber merchant, Elizabeth Lackersteen, who
appears to reciprocate his feelings of love - but the arrival on
the scene of another suitor, the boorish police officer Verrall,
and the scheming of a disgruntled local magistrate threaten to
shatter Flory's dreams and put him on a path to tragedy.Based on
the author's own experiences in Burma as a young officer in the
Indian Imperial Police, Burmese Days - here presented in the
version published in Britain in 1944, which follows the text of its
first American edition - is George Orwell's debut novel, invaluable
both as a faithful description of life in Burma during the twilight
of the British Raj and as an expose of the failings of colonial
rule.
