Описание: 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.
