«Une histoire birmane» is the novel by George Orwell published by Éditions Gérard Lebovici in paperback (377 pages, in French).
Set in British colonial Burma, the novel follows John Flory, a timber merchant who fits in neither with the English settlers nor with the Burmese community. Through John Flory's eyes, George Orwell shows the racism, hypocrisy and absurdity of imperial rule, as well as the loneliness of one who lives outside the system.
