为什么值得读
- 取材于真实生活经验的半自传性虚构
- 生动描摹殖民者傲慢与对本土习俗的漠视
- 被读者评价为仅次于1984的佳作
Burmese Days 以20世纪20年代英属缅甸虚构的 Kyauktada 区为背景。故事围绕腐败的缅甸地方行政官 U Po Kyin 展开，他处心积虑毁掉印度裔医生 Dr. Veraswami 的名誉，以便自己（Kyin）能够取代本更有希望的 Veraswami 医生加入 European Club。这位医生最主要的庇护是他与 John Flory 的友谊，Flory 作为一名 pukka sahib（欧洲白人老爷）享有更高的声望。然而，U Po Kyin 最终得逞并加入了俱乐部。种族主义和阶级主义构成了主要角色行为的底层逻辑。Kyin 打算救赎自己的一生并洗清他的……

……对于当今社会的切中程度，丝毫不亚于当年针砭苏联。《向加泰罗尼亚致敬》是一本好书。我还强烈推荐看看《巴黎伦敦落魄记》和《缅甸岁月》（这两部虚构作品在很大程度上取材于他的亲身经历）。
…poignant when applied to today's society as they were about the Soviet Union. Homage To Catalonia is a wonderful book. I would also highly recommend checking out Down and Out in Paris and London and Burmese Days (two works of fiction loosely based on events from his real life experiences).
……非常精彩的采访，视角很独特……他的儿子对奥威尔的了解主要来自间接渠道，但对他的理解方式却是任何学者、粉丝、朋友或记者都无法企及的。我手头正好在重读《缅甸岁月》，我觉得这是他仅次于《1984》的最好作品。约翰·赫特演的那部《1984》电影也非常震撼——几年前我和我十几岁的孩子一起看的，他整个人都看呆了。
…great interview, with an unusual perspective … the son mainly knows Orwell secondhand, but understands him in a way that no scholar or fan or friend or journalist ever could. I happen to be re-reading Burmese Days at the moment, which I think is his best after 1984. The movie 1984 with John Hurt is also very powerful - I watched it with my teenager a few years ago and he was transfixed.
《缅甸岁月》是我最喜欢的奥威尔作品。它极其传神地刻画了英国统治下的殖民地众生相——新来的英国人傲慢刻薄，对当地风俗充其量是一无所知；而在当地待久的英国人则……
Burmese Days is my favorite Orwell. It captures the state of the colonies under British rule extremely well - the British new-arrivals who are derisive and at best ignorant of the local customs, the British who've…
真正像晴天霹雳一样击中我的是《缅甸岁月》。不过我还得去重读一下《向加泰罗尼亚致敬》。
The one that hit me like a thunderbolt was "Burmese Days". I need to reread "Catalonia" though.
