Title: Burmese Days
Author: George Orwell
Narrator: Allan Corduner

Publisher's Summary:
An unabridged recording of Orwell's brilliant first novel read by Allan Corduner. The story is largely based on Orwell's own experiences as a police 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 vast 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 UK where there had been fears and controversy initially that the material could be libellous.
Members Reviews:
Excellent audio-book
A brilliant, informative and critical narrative of the everyday brutality of British imperialism. I couldn't stop listening.
A wonderful listen
Beautifully read by Allan Corduner, who gives a great performance with the different voices and accents, it adds a new level to the audiobook and allows the reader/listener to fully appreciate this wonderful book.
a Passage to India
Remaniscent of a Passage to India, but with the writer's experience of working in Burma for a number of years.
Compulsive story to listen to. Highly recommended
Set in Burma towards the end of the British Raj, where bigotry and racism thrive in the closed society of the Englishmens club. The story centres around John Flory, whose life has been governed by an ugly birthmark on his face. It is about his two relationships in an otherwise friendless life and the effects of a vicious, scheming and corrupt magistrate. George Orwell tells his tale with empathy, an intimate knowledge of his main character and some scorn towards a society he got to know personally. Allan Corduners narration is first rate.
Great narrator.
Great narration throughout. Makes such a difference. All the characters came alive vividly.
