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's satirical masterpiece which has earned him his place in the canon alongside Defoe and Swift was completed in 1944 and was rejected by four major publishers as "inappropriate" before being accepted and released by Secker & Warburg in 1945. It brought Orwell instant fame and a massive international readership; 250000 copies were sold in the first year alone. It has since then survived as an example of how literature can translate complex ideas in simple and understandable terms. "Orwell believed passionately and politically that no meaningful idea was too difficult to be explained in simple terms to ordinary people" Oxford DNB. It was like Orwell then to present such a work to a fellow writer who was similarly working to enlighten the English people about the political structures and debates surrounding them during and following wartime.
