| Summary | "A Civil Servant in Burma" by Sir Herbert Thirkell White is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's extensive experience as a civil servant in Burma, providing insights into the country's administration, culture, and the author's personal observations over more than three decades. At the start of the narrative, White introduces Burma as a province of the Indian Empire and discusses its geographic and historical significance. He shares his initial impressions upon arriving in 1878, describing the administrative structure and the role of civil servants in managing the region. Through vivid descriptions, he captures both the beauty of the landscape and the complexities of interacting with the diverse populations of Burma, shedding light on the challenges and rewards of his position. The opening portion sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of life in Burma through the eyes of a dedicated public servant. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
