Set in the days of the Empire, with the British ruling in Burma, "Burmese Days" describes both indigenous corruption and Imperial bigotry, when 'after all, natives were natives - interesting, no doubt, but finally only a 'subject' people, an inferior people with black faces'. Against the prevailing orthodoxy, Flory, a white timber merchant, befriends Dr Veraswami, a black enthusiast for Empire. The doctor needs help. U Po Kyin, Sub-divisional Magistrate of Kyauktada, is plotting his downfall. The only thing that can save him is European patronage: membership of the hitherto all-white Club. While Flory prevaricates, beautiful Elizabeth Lackersteen arrives in Upper Burma from Paris. At last, after years of 'solitary hell', romance and marriage appear to offer Flory an escape from the 'lie' of the 'pukka sahib pose'.

Autobiographical work by George Orwell, published in 1933. Orwell's first published book, it contains essays in which actual events are recounted in a fictionalized form. The book recounts that to atone for the guilt he feels about the conditions under which the disenfranchised and downtrodden peoples of the world exist, Orwell decides to live and work as one of them. Dressed as a beggar, he takes whatever employment might be available to a poverty-stricken outcast of Europe. In Paris he lives in a slum and works as a dishwasher. The essay "How the Poor Die" describes conditions at a charity hospital there. In London's East End, he dresses and lives like his neighbors, who are paupers and the poorest of working-class laborers. Dressed as a tramp, he travels throughout England with hoboes and migrant laborers.

本书精心选编了乔治·奥威尔的十八篇散文，为读者感悟其自由而人性化的文学价值定位、了解其在那个时代所持有的政治观点，提供了一种视野。亲历两次世界大战的艰辛洗礼，目睹欧洲政治局势的风云变幻；外部世界的苦与痛，英国绅士的安逸漠然，怎不让作家感慨万千。

在20世纪的西方文学中,乔治·奥威尔可谓声名显赫。他凭着强烈的社会良知和敏锐的政治洞察力生动地再现了极权主义盛行时的社会生活,被称为“时代的良心……过去几十年英语文学中最伟大的道德力量”。其代表作《一九八四》和《动物农场》既是关于政治的讽喻小说，也是文学艺术的杰作。被翻译成六十多种文字,销售数千万册,并被作为英美大学的重要研读书目。他在小说中创造的“老大哥”、“双重思想”、“新话”等词汇都已收入权威的英语词典，甚至由他的姓衍生的形容词“奥威尔式”不断出现在记者笔下，足见其作品在英语国家影响之深远。此外,在世界各地几乎每年都举办大型的“奥威尔学术研究会”或“奥威尔电影纪念周”之类的学术活动。这一切构成了世界文坛中奇特的“奥威尔现象”。
