Burmese Days by George Orwell (Book Analysis)
Detailed Summary, Analysis and Reading Guide
About this book
Unlock the more straightforward side of Burmese Days with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of Burmese Days by George Orwell, which is based on the writer's own experiences as a member of the British Indian Imperial Police in the 1920s. It depicts a brutally divided society, in which racism is endemic and the natives are widely seen as inherently inferior to the white European colonisers. In this atmosphere, corruption and scheming flourish, leaving the novel's protagonist, the timber merchant John Flory, deeply disillusioned and alienated. Burmese Days is Orwell's earliest novel. Along with his influential later works, including 1984 and Animal Farm, it reflects an enduring preoccupation with social justice and the oppression of the powerless by world governments.Find out everything you need to know about Burmese Days in a fraction of the time!
