Burma Sahib

SKU: 9780241998953

Discover the formative years of a literary giant in Paul Theroux’s captivating novel, Burma Sahib. This atmospheric story, inspired by George Orwell’s time in 1920s Burma, unveils the making of the legendary author. Follow young Eric Blair, a diffident Etonian, as he navigates the complexities of the British Raj – a world of entrenched racism and class divisions. Theroux masterfully brings Orwell’s Burma to life, exploring the burgeoning consciousness of a writer confronting colonial realities and the vibrant, often harsh, Burmese landscape. ‘Five boring years within the sound of bugles’ become the crucible that forged the genius. A must-read for fans of literary fiction and historical novels from The Bookish Owl.
