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'. Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. All his novels and non-fiction, including Burmese Days (1934), Down and Out in Paris and London (1933), The Road to Wigan Pier (1937) and Homage to Catalonia (1938) are published in Penguin Modern Classics.
