BURMESE DAYS - GEORGE ORWELL KARTONIERT (TB)

Based on his experiences as a policeman in Burma  George Orwell's first novel presents a
devastating picture of British colonial rule. It describes corruption and imperial bigotry in a
society where  'after all  natives were natives - interesting  no doubt  but finally ... an
inferior people'. When Flory  a white timber merchant  befriends Indian Dr Veraswami  he defies
this orthodoxy. The doctor is in danger: U Po Kyin  a corrupt magistrate  is plotting his
downfall. The only thing that can save him is membership of the all-white Club  and Flory can
help. Flory's life is changed further by the arrival of beautiful Elizabeth Lackersteen from
Paris  who offers an escape from loneliness and the 'lie' of colonial life.
