Summary:
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 worlds least free countries. "Finding George Orwell in Burma" is a brave and revelatory reconnaissance of modern Burma, one of the worlds grimmest and most shuttered police states, where the term Orwellian aptly describes the life endured by the country's people -- BACKCOVER.
