Description
Orwell’s honest and expressive debut novel, published in 1934, sparked heated debate due to its portrayal of colonial society, incurable corruption, and imperial fanaticism. A group of Englishmen—members of a European club—share a sense of superiority over the Burmese, yet each of them is profoundly lonely and drowns their longing for home with excessive whiskey. John Flory, a timber merchant, holds different views: he believes the Burmese and their culture are distinctive and should be valued as something beautiful and worthy. Flory further undermines faith in British omnipotence by befriending Dr. Veraswami, a potential candidate for admission into the European club. And Veraswami, in turn, is under the close scrutiny of a ruthless local judge, U Po Kyin, who is willing to do much for the sake of power…
Flory’s inner conflict is complicated by the sudden arrival in Burma of a young Englishwoman, Elizabeth. Will he find the strength to act according to conscience and be happy with the woman he loves?
