Honest and evocative, George Orwells first novel is an examination of the debasing effect of empire on occupied and occupier.Burmese Days focuses on a handful of Englishmen who meet at the European Club to drink whisky and to alleviate the acute and unspoken loneliness of life in 1920s Burmawhere Orwell himself served as an imperial policemanduring the waning days of British imperialism.One of the men, James Flory, a timber merchant, has grown soft, clearly comprehending the futility of Englands rule. However, he lacks the fortitude to stand up for his Indian friend, Dr. Veraswami, for admittance into the whitesonly club. Without membership and the accompanying prestige that would protect the doctor, the condemning and illfounded attack by a bitter magistrate might bring an end to everything he has accomplished. Complicating matters, Flory falls unexpectedly in love with a newly arrived English girl, Elizabeth Lackersteen. Can he find the strength to do right not only by his friend, but also by his conscience?
