BURMESE DAYS (GEORGE ORWELL COLLECTION)

George Orwell's Burmese Days is a deep insight into life in Burma during the days of the British Empire. It is a delightful slice of Burmese culture and way of life with dark undertones.

The story revolves around the life of British pukka sahibs in their Club in Kyauktada. Their lives are inadvertently intertwined in the local rivalry between corrupt magistrate U Po Kyin and the good doctor, Dr Veraswami. The latter is befriended by Flory who appreciates the Burmese way of life and enjoys 'cultured conversation' with the doctor regularly over a drink or two.

The arrival of Elizabeth stirs up the interest of the menfolk. Flory falls deeply in love with her. Will she reciprocate his love? Or will the twisted plots and revolts engineered by U Po Kyin reduce them to mere pawns in his political game?
