Книга: George Orwell «Burmese Days»
|
Производитель: "Penguin Books Ltd." Set in the days of the Empire, with the British ruling in Burma, `Burmese Days` describes both indigenous corruption and Imperial bigotry, when after all, natives were natives - interesting, no doubt, but finally only a `subject` people, an inferior people with black faces. Against the prevailing orthodoxy, Flory, a white timber merchant, befriends Dr. Veraswami, a black enthusiast for Empire. The doctor needs help. U Po Kyin, Sub-divisional Magistrate of Kyauktada, is plotting his downfall. The only thing that can save him is European patronage: membership of the hitherto all-white Club. While Flory prevaricates, beautiful Elizabeth Lackersteen arrives in Upper Burma from Paris. At last, after years of `solitary hell`, romance and marriage appear to offer Flory an escape from the `lie` of the pukka sahib pose. ISBN:978-0-141-39543-2 Издательство: "Penguin Books Ltd." (2014) Формат: 110x180, 304 стр.
