Cansados dos maus-tratos e da explora��o a que s�o submetidos na Fazenda do Solar os animais se rebelam contra seu mestre o expulsam e assumem o controle da propriedade. Liderados pelos porcos os bichos estabelecem uma sociedade igualitǭria baseada no Animalismo um sistema de ideias contrǭrio �� tirania dos seres humanos e que na prǭtica garantiria liberdade justi��a e fartura de alimentos a todos. Mas com o passar do tempo as esperan��as de um futuro mais feliz v�o se perdendo. O ideais da rebeli�o s�o corrompidos e depois esquecidos. Os porcos novos donos do poder repetem antigos hǭbitos e aos poucos instauram um novo regime de opress�o. Obra mǭxima de George Orwell 1984 Ǹ um dos livros mais influentes do sǸculo 20. Eternizada pela cr�tica ao totalitarismo e �� usurpa��o dos direitos individuais esta distopia assustadora marcou toda uma gera��o de leitores.

Burmese Days
London: Gollancz 1935. A first edition first printing of 'Burmese Days' published by Gollancz in 1935. A very good - spotting to the prelims and to the page edges - some light staining to the boards. No inscriptions - some wear to the corners. Burmese Days is a novel by George Orwell published in 1934. Set in 1920s British-occupied Burma it offers a critique of British colonialism. The story revolves around John Flory a disillusioned British timber merchant who befriends Dr. Veraswami a local Indian doctor. Flory's struggle against the racist attitudes of his fellow Europeans particularly the bigoted U Po Kyin forms the novel's core conflict. Flory's relationship with Elizabeth Lackersteen a young Englishwoman adds personal drama to his ethical dilemmas. The novel portrays the corrupt and oppressive nature of colonial rule highlighting the moral and spiritual decay it causes in both the colonisers and the colonised. Orwell drawing on his own experiences as a police officer in Burma uses Burmese Days to explore themes of power racism and the impact of imperialism on individual lives. Gollancz hardcover

ORWELL, George
Burmese Days.
London: Victor Gollancz 1935. His first work of fiction First British edition of the author's first novel and second book following Down and Out in Paris and London 1933. Burmese Days was based on Orwell's service in the Indian Imperial Police in Burma from 1922 to 1927. The work was initially rejected by Gollancz amid concerns that its caustic critique of colonialism might be considered libellous to those portrayed so it was published in America the year previous to its publication in Britain. For the British edition Orwell changed the names of characters based on real people and wrote a new author's note spuriously claiming that "all the characters in this book are entirely fictitious". Cyril Connolly reviewed Burmese Days as "an admirable novel. It is a crisp fierce and almost boisterous attack on the Anglo-Indian. The author loves Burma he goes to great length to describe the vices of the Burmese and the horror of the climate but he loves it and nothing can palliate for him the presence of a handful of inefficient complacent public school types who make their living there. I liked it and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a spate of efficient indignation graphic description excellent narrative excitement and irony tempered with vitriol" New Statesman and Nation p. 18. Octavo. Original black cloth spine lettered in green. Cloth a little rubbed spine leaning extremities slightly bumped with occasional spots of wear ring stains to rear cover: a very good copy.

Orwell, George
Burmese Days.
New York: Harper & Brothers 1934. First American edition preceding the British edition by one year of Orwell's first novel. Octavo original cloth. Presentation copy inscribed by the author with his given name on the verso of the front free endpaper "With very best wishes from Eric Blair." As explained in the accompanying typed letter signed by Adrian Fierz this copy was presented by the author to Mabel Fierz. It was Mabel Fierz who introduced Orwell to Leonard Moore who would later become his literary agent after salvaging the manuscript for Down and Out from the writer's discarded papers. After first meeting Orwell in Southwold Suffolk Mabel and her husband Francis became close friends with the writer and often invited him to stay at their house in Golders Green. On one such occasion Orwell gave Mabel the manuscript which had just been rejected by Faber telling her to save only the paperclips. Instead she brought the manuscript to Moore who in turn took it to the publisher Gollancz. In gratitude Orwell presented Mabel with signed copies of all of his published works. Typed letter signed by Mabel's son Adrian Fierz inserted. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Burmese Days was several years in the writing. Orwell was drafting it in Paris during the time he spent there from 1928 to 1929. He was still working on it in 1932 at Southwold while doing up the family home in the summer holidays. By December 1933 he had typed the final version and in 1934 he delivered it to his agent Leonard Moore for publication by Victor Gollancz who had published his previous book. Gollancz smarting from fears of prosecution from another author's work turned it down because he was worried about charges of libel. Heinemann and Cape turned it down for the same reasons. After demanding alterations Harpers were prepared to publish it in the United States where it made its debut in 1934. In the spring of 1935 Gollancz declared that he was prepared to publish Burmese Days provided that Orwell was able to demonstrate it was not based on real people. Extensive checks were made in colonial lists that no British individuals could be confused with the characters. Many of the main European names have since been identified in the Rangoon Gazette and U Po Kyin was the name of a Burmese officer with him at the Police Training School in Mandalay. Gollancz brought out the English version on 24 June 1935. Harpers brought out Burmese Days in the US on 25 October 1934 in an edition of 2000 copies. In February 1935 just four months after publication 976 copies were remaindered. The only American review that Orwell himself saw in the New York Herald Tribune by Margaret Carson Hubbard was unfavourable: "The ghastly vulgarity of the third-rate characters who endure the heat and talk ad nausea of the glorious days of the British Raj when fifteen lashes settled any native insolence is such that they kill all interest in their doings." A positive review however came from an anonymous writer in the Boston Evening Transcript for whom the central figure was "analyzed with rare insight and unprejudiced if inexorable justice" and the book itself praised as full of "realities faithfully and unflinchingly realised." On its publication in Britain Burmese Days earned a review in the New Statesman from Cyril Connolly as follows: "Burmese Days is an admirable novel. It is a crisp fierce and almost boisterous attack on the Anglo-Indian. The author loves Burma he goes to great length to describe the vices of the Burmese and the horror of the climate but he loves it and nothing can palliate for him the presence of a handful of inefficient complacent public school types who make their living there. I liked it and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a spate of efficient indignation graphic description excellent narrative excitement and irony tempered with vitriol." Orwell received a letter from the anthropologist Geoffrey Gorer as follows "Will you allow me to tell you how very much indeed I admire your novel Burmese Days: it seems to me an absolutely admirable statement of fact told as vividly and with as little bitterness as possible." It was as a result of these responses that Orwell renewed his friendship with Connolly which was to give him useful literary connections a positive evaluation in Enemies of Promise and an outlet on Horizon. He also became a close friend of Gorer. In 2013 the Burmese Ministry of Information named the new translation by Maung Myint Kywe of Burmese Days the winner of the 2012 Burma National Literature Award's "informative literature" translation category. The National Literary Awards are the highest literary awards in Burma. Harper & Brothers hardcover

In very good condition the binding a little rubbed and marked the contents with some silverfish erosion to the edge of the blank front endpaper and tanning to the text block edge otherwise clean. Almost certainly unique. An early adaptation of George Orwell's novel for the stage. We have been unable to find any information pertaining to the author perhaps a pseudonym or evidence of the play in this form ever making it to production.
