Finding George Orwell in Burma
2004
Emma Larkin travels through Burma (Myanmar) to explore how George Orwell's experiences as a colonial policeman there in the 1920s influenced his later writings, particularly "1984" and "Burmese Days." The book examines parallels between Orwell's dystopian fiction and the reality of life under Burma's military dictatorship.
