Book Description
In this book, Dr. Battan tells how the meteorologist collects and analyzes data to increase his understanding of atmospheric phenomena. He explains the structure and growth of clouds from minute condensation nuclei to the familiar cloud forms, and he describes the formation of rain, snow, and hail. Dr. Battan believes that the findings of meteorological research will not only lead to more accurate weather forecasting but "as we learn more secrets of nature, it is inevitable that we will learn how to modify and control the weather."

Imagine crossing E.M. Forster with Jane Austen. Stir in a bit of socialist doctrine, a sprig of satire, strong Indian curry, and a couple quarts of good English gin and you get something close to the flavor of George Orwell's intensely readable and deftly plotted Burmese Days. In 1930, Kyauktada, Upper Burma, is one of the least auspicious postings in the ailing British Empire--and then the order comes that the European Club, previously for whites only, must elect one token native member. This edict brings out the worst in this woefully enclosed society, not to mention among the natives who would become the One. Orwell mines his own Anglo-Indian background to evoke both the suffocating heat and the stifling pettiness that are the central facts of colonial life: "Mr. MacGregor told his anecdote about Prome, which could be produced in almost any context. And then the conversation veered back to the old, never-palling subject--the insolence of the natives, the supineness of the Government, the dear dead days when the British Raj was the Raj and please give the bearer fifteen lashes. The topic was never let alone for long, partly because of Ellis's obsession. Besides, you could forgive the Europeans a great deal of their bitterness. Living and working among Orientals would try the temper of a saint."
Protagonist James Flory is a timber merchant, whose facial birthmark serves as an outward expression of the ironic and left-leaning habits of mind that make him inwardly different from his coevals. Flory appreciates the local culture, has native allegiances, and detests the racist machinations of his fellow Club members. Alas, he doesn't always possess the moral courage, or the energy, to stand against them. His almost embarrassingly Anglophile friend, Dr. Veraswami, the highest-ranking native official, seems a shoo-in for Club membership, until Machiavellian magistrate U Po Kyin launches a campaign to discredit him that results, ultimately, in the loss not just of reputations but of lives. Whether to endorse Veraswami or to betray him becomes a kind of litmus test of Flory's character.
Against this backdrop of politics and ethics, Orwell throws the shadow of romance. The arrival of the bobbed blonde, marriageable, and resolutely anti-intellectual Elizabeth Lackersteen not only casts Flory as hapless suitor but gives Orwell the chance to show that he's as astute a reporter of nuanced social interactions as he is of political intrigues. In fact, his combination of an astringently populist sensibility, dead-on observations of human behavior, formidable conjuring skills, and no-frills prose make for historical fiction that stands triumphantly outside of time. --Joyce Thompson
Download Description
U Po Kyin, Sub-divisional Magistrate of Kyauktada, in Upper Burma, was sitting in his veranda. It was only half past eight, but the month was April, and there was a closeness in the air, a threat of the long, stifling midday hours. Occasional faint breaths of wind, seeming cool by contrast, stirred the newly drenched orchids that hung from the eaves. Beyond the orchids one could see the dusty, curved trunk of a palm tree, and then the blazing ultramarine sky. Up in the zenith, so high that it dazzled one to look at them, a few vultures circled without the quiver of a wing. Unblinking, rather like a great porcelain idol, U Po Kyin gazed out into the fierce sunlight. He was a man of fifty, so fat that for years he had not risen from his chair without help, and yet shapely and even beautiful in his grossness; for the Burmese do not sag and bulge like white men, but grow fat symmetrically, like fruits swelling. His face was vast, yellow and quite unwrin-kled, and his eyes were tawny. His feet-squat, high-arched feet with the toes all the same length-were bare, and so was his cropped head, and he wore one of those vivid Arakanese longyis with green and magenta checks which the Burmese wear on informal occasions. He was chewing betel from a lacquered box on the table, and thinking about his past life.

Social Statement Or Not, It Is A Good Novel.......2007-09-15
Eric Arthur Blair (1903 to 1950) - or known to most as George Orwell - made his mark with his two most famous novels: 1984 and Animal Farm.
The present novel was published in 1934, years before his most famous works. It is based on his days in Burma which at the time was part of greater India. As a novel, it is a masterpiece or close to one, but it is overshadowed by his most famous works. This is his second novel and it follows A Hanging from 1931.
Many focus on the social aspects of the plot and the discrimination of the British against the locals; and, that was certainly part of Blair's motivation for writing the novel. Of course that is important. But looking beyond that politically correct message, how good is it as a work of art or as a work of literature?
Overall it is good or excellent. The story is very entertaining. The novel is well written and it is well balanced. Blair was inspired by those who went before such as Joyce, Flaubert, and others. In the best tradition of Flaubert, the novel is tight and crisp like one of the better works from Flaubert, or even Tolstoy, and the story involves human emotions and decisions by people which determine the outcome of the story, for better or for worse.
Sometimes that emotion is tightly controlled as we see in the character Elizabeth Lackersteen. Her background in Paris is not unlike the experiences of Blair himself in Paris in his poorer days when he washed dishes. Her anti-Burmese attitude is in strong contrast to the protagonist John Flory who has adapted to the jungles of Burma and he takes a softer approach to life in Burma. Also, he knows what the future there will be like with or without a wife. He has a much broader understanding of the peoples and the country and he seems to be very sensitive to the environment, both cultural and social. But, will that be his downfall? His emotions seem to rise and fall with the temperature and humidity, or so it seems. You will have to read the novel to find out.
I especially liked the descriptions of the steaming jungles teaming with life and sounds, thick with trees and plants, and the oppressive heat of the spring and the heavy rains of Burma. They are beautifully described by Blair. Also, the hunting scenes were exceptional. John and Elizabeth go hunting for local game as part of their courtship. One can almost see the flying birds over their heads, the guns swinging to meet the birds, feel the noise of blasts, and then hear the leopard walking almost silently in the tall grass. All of that is great prose, great writing, and it makes for a compelling read.
So in summary, this is an interesting novel with lots of social merit but it is also a very good read which is set in the colony of Burma almost 100 years ago, in an age of racial division, revolt, drama, intense human emotions, and set in a primitive and exotic setting.
Highly recommend: 5 stars.
"...the sun glared in the sky like an angry god, then suddenly the monsoon blew westward...".......2007-08-23
'Burmese Days', George Orwell's first novel, was based on his five years' experience as a member of the British Indian Imperial military police in Burma, which was part of British India at the time (1922-27) and remained so until 1937. Orwell was born in Bengal British India where his father worked for the Opium Department of the Civil Service.
Orwell sets his rather sordid tale in a remote station of Kyauktada in Upper Burma.
Through Orwell's considerable literary skills the reader feels the heat and rains: "...from February through May the sun glared in the sky like an angry god, then suddenly the monsoon blew westward, first in sharp squalls, then in a heavy ceaseless downpour that drenched everything until neither one's clothes, one's bed, nor even one's food ever seemed to be dry. It was still hot, with a stuffy vaporous heat. The jungle paths turned to morasses, and the paddy fields were great wastes of stagnant water with a stale mousy smell...Through July and August there was hardly a pause in the rain."
Fictional Kyauktada station consists of eight whites in the midst of thousands of Burmese. Eight whites holding on to their cribbed vision of civilization with a social life centered around a cheap whites-only club and the once-every-six-weeks visit of the Anglican priest. Although he changed the names, Orwell's characters were based on real people he encountered. The corrosive affect of colonial rule takes a toll on everyone involved, British and Burmese alike. The Anglo Indians generally display racist attitudes that ranged from an accepted sense of one's own 'natural' superiority to raging hate. The Burmese are nearly as repugnant as they scrape and bow to curry favor with grater and lesser degrees of sincerity. The protagonist Flory is the only partial exception, but his maddening equivocation ultimately leads to dire results. Several of the British sink into booze to put away the malaise.
Orwell had difficulty getting 'Burmese Days' published partially out of fear that it would anger supporters of the British Empire (especially Anglo Indians) and also fear of libel suits. After reading Burmese Days you will agree that these reactions would not have been surprising. No one comes off looking very good, British or Burmese, but least of all the British Empire. Was it really as bad as Orwell portrays? Perhaps it was, after all Kyauktada was far from a plum assignment. In any event Orwell's `Burmese Days' portrayal is closer to the mark than any romanticized renderings.
Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in the Asian subcontinent.
An indictment of British colonial rule and institutionalized bigotry!.......2007-05-12
Most lovers of English literature will be aware of George Orwell's "1984" and "Animal Farm" but, sadly, few book lovers will have even heard of, let alone read, his scathing indictment of colonial British government rule in east Asia, "Burmese Days". As Orwell's parents and family were posted to Burma and were obviously participants in, if not supporters of this colonial imperialism, it is difficult to imagine how much putting such criticism and biting satire to paper might have cost Orwell on a personal level.
Like Thomas Hardy's "The Mayor of Casterbridge", this is an almost unremittingly dark novel with heroes that are at best deeply flawed. Orwell's haunting and magnificently economical prose, is a gun turret mounted on a 360° swivel that is brought to bear on every character in the novel in turn.
Flory, a white timber merchant with an embarassingly insipid weak personality befriends Veraswami, a local Burmese doctor who, inexplicably, seems to be an avid supporter of the British colonial government. When Veraswami's name is floated as the possible token native member of the British "club", the hostile reaction is immediate and visceral. Flory seems overwhelmed and is simply unable to muster the courage necessary to stand up to the demands of his peers who insist on maintaining an institutionalized prejudice against the local "niggers". Veraswami comes under attack on a second front from U Po Kyin, the utterly corrupt Burmese magistrate who covets the European patronage to enhance his own wealth and prestige. Beautiful Elizabeth Lackersteen - now there's a character! If this novel were placed in the US, she would have been a "flapper"! Today she would simply be written off as a vapid airhead! But, in "Burmese Days", she represents the worst of decadent imperial decline.
"Burmese Days" is not easy or comfortable reading. I felt at times queasy, often appalled, frequently saddened and even embarrassed that bigotry, hatred and corruption at this level is clearly a part of my heritage. Sadly, we are not yet able to claim we have grown completely past this type of behaviour but perhaps it is to our credit that people like Orwell had the courage to commit this to paper solely for the purpose of making us aware of our own shortcomings and that we are to this day profoundly uncomfortable when we read it!
Highly recommended.
A Fine Novel in Shoddy Skin.......2007-05-10
I truly believe Orwell is one of the most underappreciated novelists. Sure, everyone's read the Animal Farm and 1984, and his essays are often praised for influencing modern English prose (though rarely are they actually read), but most have never heard of Homage to Catalonia, Down and Out, Road to Wigan Pier, or his As I Please column. The Burmese Days is a prime example of a splendid yet inexplicably unpopular work of Orwell's, and deserves to be read as much as Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises.
Many reviews have already mentioned how the novel is a candid account of British imperialist racism. The element is indeed there, and takes dutiful prominence by its very setting. Descriptions of kow-towing, strictly held prejudices held by every single white character (including Flory, the protagonist, though much less than the others), and mismanagement all abound. Plenty of mention is given to the garlic smell many natives apparently emanated, for instance. Interestingly enough, Orwell himself seems to be unintentionally racist in the narrator's descriptions of Burmese customs or the Burmese characters like U Po Kyin. This last habit is characteristic of Orwell's general writing, and is present in other works like Homage to Catalonia as well.
Nonetheless, accounts of racism, despite providing a very distinct theme and setting, are not why I enjoyed the book. The foremost reason for enjoying this book is for Orwell's characteristic writing style, that manages to be both homely and vivid yet sparse on the word count (the novel is only 190 or so pages) and as easy to read as a good pulp mystery. To go with the over-used term, it is a characteristic page-turner, with all the associated traits of constantly expanding the reader's curiosity of what will happen next while consuming no more than half a minute for any given page.
It does have several shortcomings, though. Most characters, despite having their fair shares of complexities and shortcomings, tend to act all too predictably and mechanically. Ellis will always be a vicious, profane bigot. Elizabeth will always be a shallow, pretentious airhead. And so on. Indeed, the only character that does seem to grow or change is Flory himself. Arguably, this is an intentional vehicle by which Orwell seeks to create an impression of Burma as a spiritual graveyard for various people who failed a life on the Continent--where everything is mired in a self-perpetuating web of complacency and banality. The book's ending is also a slight bit dissatisfying and seems out of character (odd since the novel up to that point so laboriously reinforced it), but does make sense and shouldn't disappoint.
The biggest failure of this book, and the reason it does not have 5 stars from me, is the fault of the editors rather than Orwell. This particular edition is rife with spelling and grammatical errors. Eat is sometimes spelled as each, periods are sometimes placed where commas were clearly intended to be, and various errors of this sort pervade. Proofreaders must have been lacking. This poses only on occasional annoyance, however, and should not stop you from reading this book, especially when it happens to be the only edition on the market today.
In short, you would do well to seek out this hidden jewel, and especially now, when the weather grows sweltering to complement the "prickly heat" of the novel's setting.

Good book, but NOT every word Orwell wrote.......2004-07-07
It only contains what the description says it contains: "Animal Farm", "Burmese Days", "A Clergyman's Daughter", "Coming up for Air", "Keep the Aspidistra Flying", and "1984". These particular writings are complete and unabridged, but these are not the complete writings of Orwell.
Of course they're good, but the title is very misleading. Don't be fooled into thinking it's everything he wrote.

The passion of Britain. .......2006-04-12
On overview of British Imperialism as found in George Orwell's book Burmese days.
By: David C. Eberhart II
After the mutiny, India had a taste of freedom. But this freedom was not true freedom. Instead it was a lethargic British Empire that just gave up the ghost. This feeling of hopelessness and despair is quite evident and you can feel this winding down in the book Burmese Days by George Orwell. The book is bitter sweet and is told from the vantage of both the natives and the British rulers. In the end not only has a masterful story been told but you are given a unique taste for the feel of what Burma must have been like during this transitional period. You are also told in brilliant imagery the struggle that existed between these diametrically opposed cultures. That being western thought as scene by the British and Eastern superstition as scene by the Indians. This was a constant dynamic as scene in both the book and the real word and it was the failure to integrate these two cultures that caused both nations to loose out in the end.
The concept of Empire was a pillar of strength to the British Empire. Yet something was lost in Burma. It was as if the economic gain of the individual companies was stressed over the desire for any human need. The extraction of resources from Burma, although vital, is scene as an after thought in the novel. Perhaps this was done on purpose, after all problems of India tend to be scene as an after thought with the Empire. The same can be said of the businesses sent to work here. The British citizens sent to Burma are expected to do their job well and make money for the Empire. But we are given a peculiar look into the workings of this puzzle. The British citizens go into the jungles, work closely with the natives, and extract the materials necessary for the Empire to function. They prosper yet are miserable. They are unhappy to be here and feel that their "sacrifices" are in vain. Truly all they, the British citizens, want is nothing more than to head into town and forget about where they are. To forget about India, alcohol is consumed in great quantities. This is also done to keep the memories of India at bay. Perhaps this is an analogy to the British Empire. Having grown wealthy off of the labors of her colonies and drunk in her success the Empire just wants to forget about her colonies and remember her glorious past. Living in the present is too hard for both the vain glorious Empire and her transplanted citizens to do. To live in the past is solace, to live in the present hell. So both the Empire and her citizens drown their sorrows in Gin and refuse to understand where they are.
This is the cruelty that the Empire has placed on her own subjects. The Empire has forgotten her subjects and as a direct result of this action her subject then idealize what they were and what they might have been. You would think that these citizens of the Empire would have embraced the local culture, since their own had forgotten them. But instead this longing to belong to the Empire, something that they have been isolated from, has instead made them fiercely British. To accept anything that would be foreign would be a wrong doing and instead would make them non-British. They would then be tainted and as tainted subjects they would not be able to return home to the Empire. This idea of taint is present in Flory on his return trip from England. Page 74 of the text shows us that," This country which he had hated was now his native country, his home." When Flory embraced the culture he became tainted by it and a prisoner here in India.
The other British citizens in the story are trying to maintain the illusion that they are British Lord and Ladies. As such they hold the dangers of the barbarians at the jungles edge. To integrate with the locals would destroy everything that they, the true citizens of the Empire, have done and would make their sacrifices to the Empire worthless.
This is a said state of affairs. Instead of learning to live together the ideal of the Empire has placed a wedge between the British citizens of the Empire and the local Burmese. Three camps then come about to tell their part in this story. The strongest and most passionate plea comes from a devout racist called Ellis. As scene on page 24 of the text you are told that Ellis," hated them with a bitter restless loathing". It is proper to know that the character feels this way. After all Ellis becomes the speaker for the most vocal of these lost souls. That being those citizens of the Empire who do not care about these native people and instead would rather rule over them with an iron fist. It is after all the proper British way to rule these sub - human people. And sub human is how they are perceived by these citizens.
To view them as human and as equals to the British would ruin the dream that the cast offs of the Empire have. Perhaps this is one of the many reasons that British rule failed in India. That being an inability of the local British to see the locals as anything other than sub- human beasts. The irony being that by treating the locals as subhuman the British became sub human. This was a self inflicted horror that the Empire emplaced on a population that trusted them for guidance. If the Empire had actually treated both parties with respect at the beginning of the occupation. Instead of setting up two different factions things could have been different. But instead the Empire placed its white citizens in charge of a population that did not want to conform to British ideals and British ways. The end result became a self fulfilling prophecy. The locals are lazy, superstitious, and ignorant because the British said they were and treated them as such. This did not have to be so. In fact we are told threw the eyes of Flory that the locals had talents and abilities that the Empire could have used. However these abilities were lost to the empire when the Empire told the locals that they were like children. The British removed the locals' ability to be industrious so that they could exploit them in the short term. Never realizing that by working with them they could have created something greater than the sum of its parts.
Ellis's view point was not the only one shared in Burmese days. Flory, the minority, fell in love with the mystic of the orient. But as we see threw Flory's eyes falling in love with a culture is not the same as understanding a culture. This was a gilded cage that the Empire fell into in Burma. Thinking that they loved the country they thought they understood it. Instead those who believed as Flory did continued to underestimate the differences between the two cultures and over estimate the brotherhood between the two cultures. Flory was typical of the Briton who embraced the Orient. They fell in love with the mystic and the passion of it. Never once realizing that they needed to understand the culture that they had fallen in love with to heal the rift that had developed between the two countries. But to heal the rift would have been to understand the cultural differences that divided the countries. As such this would have ruined the mystic of the Orient. These brave fools then lived in a fools' paradise. Enjoying the fruits of their fantasies while at the same time watching as ruin set in. Wailing against the decay they were unable and unwilling to stop.
The final camp presented from the point of view from the British is that of Macgregor. Macgregor is the moderate of the group and although he wishes the locals no true ill will he doesn't want them taking up any false pretenses. The complexities of this are at odds with each other but this is perhaps another British way of dealing with the self imposed exile to the Orient. By standing on the middle road you do not commit yourself to either side. When things fall apart it is then not your fault and you can deny the disaster that has come about. This middle of the road is another reason why British rule failed here. The middle road was not production nor was it proactive. Instead this mind set kept the British in a state of false happiness. A happiness that had come about by viewing themselves as superior to the locals while at the same time easing their guilt by wishing the locals no ill will. All that required was time and everything would right itself in the end.
But too much damage had been done between the empire and the Orient to have any true reconciliation. This is shown again and again in the text. The educated local boys are no longer afraid of their British masters. As such they do not view themselves as equal to the British but as superior. This is the cruel fate that has befallen the Orient. No one wants to see each other as an equal instead you are either a master or a servant. The local Indians who succeed see themselves as superior to the British and instead of working with them they work against their British Lords. U Po Kyin's rebellion is an excellent example of this inability to work together. U Po Kyin, a local governor, decides that he will gain more power and prestige by funding a rebellion against the British lords. Whether or not this rebellion succeeds is irrelevant it is the ideal of the rebellion that will gain him power.
This quest for power has run amok in the Orient. Instead of working together time and time again the citizens of the British Empire and the locals of India work in directly opposite manners and ruin any type of gains that could have been made. The senselessness of this appears over and over again in the novel and in real life. The government of India became so corrupt, during the Rule of Briton, that it would not be until the mid 1990's that India would be able to pull herself free of the legacy of the red tape bureaucratic Raj. It is maddening and frustrating that all that these two cultures were able to learn from each other was how to be intolerant of each other. Instead of playing to each other's strengths the age old game of dominancy and control was set up. The prize being India and the game being one of absolute conquest.
The dominance of the Empire is a pale shadow as scene in Burmese days. No longer is the Empire scene as strong and absolute instead it is scene as weak and unable to keep control of India. All aspects of India have become corrupted and the Pax Britannia has been lost. The energy and drive that the British Empire was able to maintain for centuries had waned. Sadly this was due to Empire's inability to recognize her fellow man as brother. Instead a nation of servants was sought and a nation of servants is what India turned into. The games of prestige, the master servant relationships, the politicking, all stem from the Empire's desire to uplift a nation of inferiors.
What was left was then a nation of contradictions and it is best scene in the ending of Burmese days. Flory, who had fallen in love with India, ultimately takes his own life as a direct result of the scandal that the country of Burma has placed on him. With Flory gone those that relied upon him self destruct. It was as if Flory's presence was able to guide the natives and protect them from their own destructive natures. When Flory is gone his friend, the doctor, is dishonored and can no longer find work at his level of expertise. Flory's man servant, although well provided for in Flory's will, falls to ruin and his one time native lover ends up in a brothel. Even Flory's enemy is affected by the death of Flory. The philosophy of the Orient and the laws of Karma come about to lay waste U Po Kyin before he can atone for his sins. Condemning him to their version of hell.
The ending of the book is also an analogy between the final days of the stewardship of the British Empire and India. While the British Empire was not the best thing to happen to India the Empire was better than letting India alone to herself. Under the rule of the British Empire hospitals were built, an infrastructure was put in place to westernize the country of India, and most importantly western education was introduced to the nation. Ultimately the superstitions and ignorant population of India was replaced with an educated minority. A minority that was skilled in medicine, government, and western thought. These skilled citizens of the empire became the new rulers of India. But it would take some time for these people to come about. Instead while the rebellion to throw British rule out was wages the India and her people suffered. Lost to her own whims the country of India was unable to unify her people and rule effectively. It was as if the one legacy that the British left was an inability of the country to govern itself.
The same excuses the British had about India, the Indians would also use to justify their hardships in governing their own nation. India a country of vast resources, diverse people, and a vast geography would have to learn the one lesson that the British were unable to learn. That lesson being one in which you had to understand the entire culture that makes up India in order to rule it. A culture that is a vast and diverse as her multitude of her people and one that is wonderful in its richness and complexity. If the British could have understood this perhaps things would have been different. Perhaps this is the true legacy that is shown in Burmese days. That being the confusion and resistance brought about between the two cultures. After all, all the problems inherent in Burmese days are self inflicted. Like so many of the wounds made between the British Empire and India.

One World?.......2002-05-12
Since each of Orwell's books have sufficient reviews (raves), I won't bore you with repetition.
I was suprised that this compilation (officially called "The Complete Novels") is not officially available on Amazon.com. If you'd like a single book with "all" of Orwell's novels, it is available via the Amazon.co.UK site. Nothing fancy, just the stories. The only drawback is that the print font is smaller than in most books. For most, this will not be a problem, though.
Be careful: although called "The Complete Novels", it doesn't include "Down and Out in Paris and London" or a couple of his other books. Maybe they weren't considered novels.
