Download Burmese Days AudioBook Free
An unabridged recording of Orwell's brilliant first novel read by Allan Corduner. The story is largely predicated on Orwell's own experience as a officer in Burma. Set in the dying days of the Raj, it depicts the harshness and darker side of colonial rule. And at its centre is John Flory, a lone individual hopelessly trapped in a huge political system; themes which set the agenda for much of his writing. Burmese Days was Orwell's first novel, and was issued in 1934 in America, then a year later in the united kingdom where there had been fears and controversy in the beginning that the material could be libellous.
