Burmese Days
«Orwell draws on his own experience and what’s so striking is how the uncomfortable echoes of that time still reverberate today among some expatriate circles in the region . . . A vaguely Austen feel permeates the romantic subplot; the ending is devastating.»

Anmeldelser
«Orwell draws on his own experience and what’s so striking is how the uncomfortable echoes of that time still reverberate today among some expatriate circles in the region . . . A vaguely Austen feel permeates the romantic subplot; the ending is devastating.»
Travelfish
«A scathing portrait of the imperious attitudes of the British.»
New York Times
«Of all the fictions about colonial rule – A Passage to India, The Raj Quartet, Out of Africa – Burmese Days is the angriest, rawest, most scathing and least sentimental.»
The Times
«A scathing indictment of imperialism, exposing the dark face of British rule in the subcontinent.»
Hindu
«Orwell can write . . . in Burmese Days he has written a malodorous, realistic novel of the white man in the east, as he really is.»
