193520224London: Gollancz 1935. A first edition first printing of 'Burmese Days' published by Gollancz in 1935. 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

1935186134London: Victor Gollancz 1935. His first work of fiction First British edition of the author's first novel and second book following Down and Out in Paris and London 1933. Burmese Days was based on Orwell's service in the Indian Imperial Police in Burma from 1922 to 1927. The work was initially rejected by Gollancz amid concerns that its caustic critique of colonialism might be considered libellous to those portrayed so it was published in America the year previous to its publication in Britain. For the British edition Orwell changed the names of characters based on real people and wrote a new author's note spuriously claiming that "all the characters in this book are entirely fictitious". Cyril Connolly reviewed Burmese Days as "an admirable novel. It is a crisp fierce and almost boisterous attack on the Anglo-Indian. The author loves Burma he goes to great length to describe the vices of the Burmese and the horror of the climate but he loves it and nothing can palliate for him the presence of a handful of inefficient complacent public school types who make their living there. I liked it and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a spate of efficient indignation graphic description excellent narrative excitement and irony tempered with vitriol" New Statesman and Nation p. 18. Octavo. Original black cloth spine lettered in green. Cloth a little rubbed spine leaning extremities slightly bumped with occasional spots of wear ring stains to rear cover: a very good copy.
