簡介

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. A truer picture of authoritarianism than anyone has written since, perhaps, Orwell himself.
