Sinopsis :
"Burmese Days" is a novel by George Orwell set in British colonial Burma during the waning years of imperial rule. The story follows John Flory, a timber merchant, as he navigates the stifling social and racial hierarchies prevalent in the fictional town of Kyauktada. Flory's life takes a tumultuous turn when he befriends Dr. Veraswami, an Indian doctor, and Elizabeth Lackersteen, an Englishwoman. The narrative explores the themes of racism, colonialism, and the moral decay of the British expatriate community. As political tensions rise, Flory finds himself torn between personal loyalties and the oppressive social norms of the time. Orwell's "Burmese Days" serves as a scathing critique of the inherent flaws in colonial systems and the corrosive impact of prejudice and bigotry on both the oppressors and the oppressed.
