Burmese Years
About This Novel
"The Burmese Years" is George Orwell's first full-length novel with autobiographical characteristics. It describes the changing and turbulent fate of a group of small people in the context of the great changes of the times. The story takes place in Burma under the colonial rule of the British Empire from the late 19th century to the first half of the 20th century. Two main lines run through it: one is the overt and covert struggle between the Indian friend Dr. Veraswamy of the protagonist Flory (a British timber merchant stationed in Myanmar) and the corrupt and treacherous Burmese magistrate U Bo Kim for the qualifications to enter the white club; the other is the emotional entanglement between Flory and the white girl Elizabeth. The two lines intersect and intersect, developing independently and influencing each other at the same time.
