Book Description Soft Cover. Condition: New. First. The 19th century was one of the most tumultuous in recent Burmese history, encompassing as it did three brutal wars between British and Burmese forces. The outcome of these conflicts, as well as of a series of bloody internal rebellions and murderous court intrigues, was the humiliating annexation first of the southern part of the country, followed eventually by the subjugation of the entire Burmese kingdom by the colonial government of British India. Ohara skillfully reveals these turbulent events through the shifting fortunes of Sai Win's family, as well as by the relationship of two long-time friends, Sai Win, a Burmese and Speirs, an Englishman, both honourable men. Along the way the author provides fascinating glimpses of the rhythms and minutae of Burmese traditional life. This warm and approachable tale comprises the second part of a trilogy on British Burma. Both this volume and the complete trilogy are recommended reading for young and old alike who have interest in learning of Burmese history and traditional culture. 94 pp. Size: 22 x 14 cm.
