George Orwell
Burmese Days
Penguin Books 1973. Paperback. Good. <h1 data-end=54 data-start=0>Burmese Days — George Orwell Penguin Books 1973</h1><p data-end=116 data-start=55>ISBN: 0140004564 • Condition: Good • Sold by Crappy Old Books</p><p data-end=784 data-start=118>Welcome to Kyauktada where the sun is merciless the gin is dutiful and the British Empire is having its late-afternoon wobble. In <em data-end=265 data-start=251>Burmese Days</em> George Orwell turns colonial life inside out and shakes it until the small change of self-deception hits the floor. The European Club—part sanctuary part petri dish—hosts men who can recite the rules of civilisation but keep mislaying the civilisation. Enter Flory a timber merchant with a birthmark and a conscience which is considered poor form in hot weather. He has a loyal dog a complicated love life and a friend—Dr. Veraswami—whose optimism about British justice is the most fragile object in Upper Burma.</p><p data-end=1340 data-start=786>Orbiting them all: <strong data-end=818 data-start=805>U Po Kyin</strong> a magistrate of serene girth and agile ethics who treats reputation like lacquerware—if it cracks he simply paints another. There’s also <strong data-end=973 data-start=959>Ma Hla May</strong> equally wronged and wrathful; <strong data-end=1018 data-start=1005>Elizabeth</strong> with catalogues of English comforts rattling in her mind; and a chorus of club men who swear they aren’t racist they just like their prejudice filtered and iced. The jungle hums the gossip hisses the tennis is serviceable and the air is so thick with moral humidity you could bottle it and sell it as “Empire No. 5.”</p><p data-end=1852 data-start=1342>Orwell’s satire is razor-clean: no grand speeches just the slow grind of petty vanity bureaucratic make-believe and the useful myth that everyone is better than someone else. It’s funny until it isn’t romantic until it isn’t noble until the bill arrives. Watch for the tiny moments that do the damage: a letter drafted with surgical malice a club vote wrapped in procedure a look away at the exact second looking would have mattered. If the Empire had a user manual this book would be the margin notes.</p><p data-end=2233 data-start=1854>“Condition: Good” at <strong data-end=1895 data-start=1875>Crappy Old Books</strong> means an honest veteran of shelf and suitcase: a mild spine-crease from tropical intrigue pages with the right amount of give for turning during uncomfortable truths perhaps the faintest tan as if the paper itself spent a season in Kyauktada. Solid enough for rereads; forgiving enough for pencil notes that say “oh dear Flory.”</p><p data-end=2512 data-start=2235>Buy it for the jungle heat and dry wit; keep it for the precision with which Orwell disassembles the club the country and the comfortable story colonisers tell themselves. Crappy Old Books: suppliers of world-weary paperbacks that still have the strength to raise an eyebrow.</p> Penguin Books paperback

Burmese Days
<p>Nice condition copy of "Burmese Days" by GEORGE ORWELL. 1949 1st edition thus stated 1st printing; Secker & Warburg; London. This is the first impression of the Secker "Uniform Edition."<br /><br />From a review: "From one of the world's most influential writers an evocative morally sharp first novel that is an examination of the debasing effect of empire on occupied and occupier. 'Burmese Days' focuses on a handful of Englishmen who meet at the European Club to drink whiskey and to alleviate the acute and unspoken loneliness of life in 1920's Burma - where Orwell himself served as a policeman - during the waning days of British imperialism. Orwell moves between the grand-scale political scheming and intimate social settings mining his own colonial Indian roots and his personal experience seeing the 'dirty work of Empire at close quarters' to create this searing work of historical fiction."<br /><br />Condition:<br />The green cloth has somewhat faded on the spine and along the edges of the covers. Sharp cover corners. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. Both covers are firmly attached. Nice interior - the pages are clean and appear unread with no notable issues found. Overall the book is in Very Good condition.</p> Secker & Warburg hardcover
