The first novel by the author of the dystopian novel "1984" George Orwell! Based on his experience in the colonial police of Burma in the 1920s, "Days in Burma" caused a heated debate because of the sharp image of colonial society . A group of Englishmen, members of the European club, are united in their sense of superiority over the Burmese, but each of them is extremely lonely and abundantly drowns out the longing for their homeland by excessive use of whiskey. John Florey, a timber trader, has a different view: he believes that Burmese people and their culture are distinctive and should be valued as beautiful and worthy things. Florey further undermines faith in British omnipotence with his friendship with Dr. Veraswamy, a potential candidate to join a European club. And Veraswamy, in turn, is under the close attention of unscrupulous local judge Yu Po Kyin, for the sake of power ready for a lot...Flori’s internal conflict is complicated by the sudden arrival in Burma of a young Englishwoman Elizabeth . Will he find the strength to act according to his conscience and be happy with the woman he loves?
