Description
The lushly descriptive and tragic Burmese Days, a devastating indictment of British colonial rule, is based on Orwell{u2019}s own experience while serving in the Indian Imperial Police. His beloved satirical classic, Keep the Aspidistra Flying, features a young idealist whose attempt to rebel against middle-class respectability{u2014}by working in a bookshop and trying to be a writer{u2014}goes terribly and comically awry. The hero of Coming Up for Air tries to escape the bleakness of suburbia by returning to the idyllic rural village of his childhood{u2014}only to find that the simpler England he remembers so nostalgically is gone forever. -- Amazon.com.
