Orwell or Eric Blair was born into a colonial family with his father and grandfather having roles in Jamaica and India so it was no surprise that Orwell found himself on a similar path taking a role in the Indian Imperial Police in 1922. Positioned in Burma he recounts being informed of an unruly elephant on the rampage. As a figure of authority and wishing to appear as much to the locals he felt the responsibility of dealing with the elephant. Against his better judgment he shoots it down. Orwell related the experience of shooting an elephant to imperialism in general he writes "I perceived in this moment that when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys. He becomes a sort of hollow posing dummy the conventionalised figure of sahib. For it is the condition of his rule that he shall spend his life trying to impress the 'natives' and so in every crisis he has got to do what the "natives" expect of him. He wears a mask and his face grows to fit it." Some dispute whether the work is autobiographical or fictional. <br/> <br/> Secker & Warburg hardcover
