Golden Earth: Travels in Burma
"Norman Lewis visited Burma not long after independance in 1947. His book is excruciatingly beautiful in his descriptions of what he found then. It is ironic that after 40 odd years his observations are still pertinent to the country and its culture. I cannot conceive how anyone can craft words together in the way Norman Lewis does here. This book is recommended as an insight to Burma and also as a demonstration of ALL that is good about the English language."
