Details
Description
First British Edition of Orwell's critically acclaimed first novel.
The book recounts Orwell’s five years' service as a police officer in the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, 1922–1927, and is an honest and evocative novel based on life in upper Burma when Britain's rule was still unchallenged. The novel was initially rejected by British publishers due to concerns that his caustic critique of colonialism might be considered libelous to those portrayed. Orwell was able to get the book published in America in 1934 by Harper & Brothers. The Gollancz edition is the First British with the characters’ names changed to avoid libel cases.
