194636320Paris Nagel, "Collection des Grands Romans Etrangers" 1946 1 vol. Broché in-12, broché, 342 pp. Edition originale française avec mention fictive sur le second plat. Saviez-vous qu'Orwell, de son vrai nom Eric Arthur Blair, était né à Motihari, en Inde ? D'origine modeste, il reçut une bourse pour étudier à Eton, en Angleterre, mais en 1922 il préféra s'enrôler dans la police impériale indienne en Birmanie. "Tragédie birmane" est le récit de cette expérience et constitue surtout une condamnation de l'impérialisme.
