Soft Cover. Etat : New. Second edition. Captain Robinson, completing a posting as a young British administrator in remote northern Burma, returned to Mandalay in 1923 to await a new assignment. One evening, Robinson and two friends came by chance upon an opium den. While his friends called it a night, Robinson stayed on to sample the forbidden pleasures within-a decision that was to alter his life forever. Thus commences an incredible autobiographical account of the seduction of a naive young romantic by the East, and of his eventual narrow escape from death. First published in 1942, the book has become a sought-after rarity among British colonial accounts. Now republished with a new foreword by Gerry Abbott, exploring some fascinating links between Robinson and his contemporary in Burma, George Orwell. xxiii, 128 pp., 5 b&w plates, map, references Size: 21.5 x 15.2 cm.
