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.

What a narration! It took me back in time. The preparation in the native words and pronunciation was impeccable. I read the book only for hearing the narration of Mr Allan Corduner. Thank you!

The book show cases how white people in British imperialistic rule lived and how they were also the victim of the regular system. Their hate for natives and how pityful was the life of locals. In all this diabolical environment of white man rule ,how a sombre and lonely individual fells in love and how politics kill his love story.
Excellent narration and superb storyline.

A romantic tragedy of British Raj
