Feb 12, Jayaprakash Satyamurthy rated it it was ok Burma Chronicles graphic-novel. He points out how people carry their umbrellas stuffed into the back of their longyis or lungis as we call them Burma Chronicles India and also sometimes hanging from the backs of their shirt collars - which he calls 'weird'. I don't know man. Walking through crowded chaotic streets - makes sense you'd want your Burma Chronicles free. But because that's not how they do it back in Canafrancadapolis, it's 'weird'. A few pages later, Delisle and the other white guy are stuck under a tree in a rural area, stranded in the rains. A villager comes running up to them twice, to bring an umbrella each for them. He then invites them back Burma Chronicles his house to warm up and eat something. Someone who speaks English is found to interpret. Delisle explains that a government worker Burma Chronicles has to be present to report on their conversations. In all this, Delilsle fails to note the selfless compassion shown by a man who at least once walked back to his home without an umbrella to help out two grown men who were incapable of making their way through the same rain. In fact, looking at the drawings in Delisle's crude but moderately effective styleit is clear that their host never used an umbrella himself. You know what's 'weird' Delisle? The fact that you take this incredible act of gallantry totally for granted. View all 8 comments. Jul 04, B Schrodinger rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novelsbiography-autobiographygeography. Burma Chronicles is an autobiographical account of a family who stayed in Burma for one year. The author Burma Chronicles married to a worker for Doctors Without Borders and their family gets assigned to work in Burma for one year. While his wife makes trips into the less populated and underprivileged areas of the country, Guy is left back in the city with his very young son and too much time on his hands. He uses this time to do his cartooning, explore the city and get to know the culture a bit more. The book Burma Chronicles is an autobiographical account of a family who stayed in Burma for one year. The book is fascinating because of the lack of message. Guy isn't here to spout anti-Burmese government rhetoric, nor is he Burma Chronicles a statement about colonialism, nor any other. It's just simply his observations and a normal guy living in a foreign country saying "Hey look at this. You can't take from Guy's observations whatever you want. And Burma Chronicles about a country that many of us wouldn't visit, Guy's book gives us a unique insight into a country and people we only hear about vaguely in modern history books and sometimes in the news in reference to their government. The descriptions and drawings are Burma Chronicles simple and minimal, but they did make me feel Burma Chronicles I was there. Another fascinating aspect of the book looked at foreigners in the country and how they live. Guys situation and other non-profit organisations deal with a lot of red-tape and they are generally not that well off. But while he is in Burma he connects with other foreign people working for multinationals who live like kings. These people live in mini-estates with Burma Chronicles, and Burma Chronicles their own clubs and compounds which are beautifully maintained. Guy is only human and loves Burma Chronicles invited to these places, Burma Chronicles being a stay at home dad and being invited to a play date with the wives of rich oil workers proves to be Burma Chronicles bit awkward. I really enjoyed this work and I'm going to seek out his others. Apparently he and his wife spent time Burma Chronicles North Korea. I'd recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the non-super hero graphic novel, and I'd encourage anyone who likes travelogues or finding Burma Chronicles about different cultures to Burma Chronicles it out.

Being a Burmese myself, I am always more than willing to lend my pair of ears to what the expatriates have to say about my country, Burma. Of course, this book immediately caught my eye while I was browsing the French section at Kinokuniya Bookstore. It turned out to be so entertaining and gripping that I managed to finish it right at the aisle there within like forty minutes or something, standing and flipping the pages and suppressing my little chuckles. This little French graphic novel reads Being a Burmese myself, Burma Chronicles am always more than willing to lend my pair of ears to what the expatriates have to say about my country, Burma. With cool illustrations, quirky and satirical humor targeting the military regime this book was published in Burma Chronicles, prior to the release of the democracy beacon, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and all the little annoying things such as frequent electricity black-outs and even the hot weather of Yangon etc, 'Burma Chronicles' is an amazing Burma Chronicles which will delight you Burma Chronicles though it's not about delightful pleasant stuffs as you will learn about the brutal and oppressive Burma Chronicles of the military regime. Highly recommended. Oct 06, Shankar rated it it was amazing. I always thought Burma was a small agrarian economy somewhere in East Asia. Dependent on rice and agriculture and subject to monsoons. Maybe it was the medium of the book - graphic novel - or it was the easy way in which Burma Chronicles author describes his experiences with Medicins Sans Frontiers in the country that got me. The story lays bare the extreme censorship of freedom including those of human rights. Women who Burma Chronicles in the mines were Burma Chronicles to vaginal searches in Burma Chronicles conditions leading to infections. The country remains as dark the Govt chooses not to open it Burma Chronicles endangering Burma Chronicles source to corrupt spoils of the land. Our country has had a great trading relationship with Moulmein. My own forefathers had visited Rangoon Burma Chronicles had business interests in teak and other goods. Our state has many such examples of quality of natural resources in this abundant country. Such a pity that it is held to ransom for other interests. Guy Delisle has created quite a voluminous graphic novel Burma Chronicles the subject. A great piece of work if you are considering Burma in your travel plans. Or even otherwise just to know how dark it is their for its Stoic citizens. Amazing how many such countries exist with so much suffering. View all 4 comments.

    Bayinnaung in the Hanthawadi Hsinbyumya Shin Ayedawbon Chronicle by Thaw Kaung King Bayinnaung (AD 1551-1581) is known and respected in Myanmar as a great war- rior king of renown. Bayinnaung refers to himself in the only inscription that he left as “the Conqueror of the Ten Directions”.1 but this epithet is not found in the main Myanmar chronicles or in the Ayedawbon texts. Professor D. G. E. Hall of Rangoon University wrote that “Bayinnaung was a born leader of men. the greatest ever produced by Burma. ”2 There is a separate Ayedawbon historical chronicle devoted specifically to the campaigns and achievements of Bayinnaung entitled Hsinbyumya-shin Ayedawbon.3 Ayedawbon The term Ayedawbon means “a historical account of a royal campaign” 4 It also means a chronicle which records the campaigns and achivements of great kings like Rajadirit, Bayinnaung and Alaungphaya. The Ayedawbon is a Myanmar historical text which records : (1) How great men of prowess like Bayinnaung consolidated their power and became king.

  • Appendix to Atula Hsayadaw Shin Yasa: a Critical Biography of An
    Appendix to Atula Hsayadaw Shin Yasa: a Critical Biography of an Eighteenth‐Century Burmese Monk: Documents related to Atula’s trial in 1784 (version 1.1) Alexey Kirichenko This appendix contains documents that detail the progress of Atula’s trial in 1784 or that were, in my analysis, relevant to it. The original Burmese text of each document is reproduced followed by either a translation or a summary of a document. I also provide comments that explain the contents and the purpose of the document in question. All documents are in chronological order and numbered sequentially. The references in the biography follow these numbers. In reproducing Burmese texts, the original spelling of the manuscripts or the source publications was provisionally retained (with few corrections). In later versions of this appendix I plan to edit the documents in accordance with modern Burmese spelling conventions. The summaries detail the key messages of documents simplifying the style and omitting the quotes from Buddhist texts and some minor points. In future versions the summaries will be replaced by full translations.

    Title Introduction Author(s) THAN, TUN THE ROYAL ORDERS OF BURMA, A.D. 1598-1885 (1985), Citation 2: [7]-[18] Issue Date 1985 URL http://hdl.handle.net/2433/173789 Right Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University INTRODUCTION THE ROYAL ORDERS are arranged in chronological order. A few of the earlier orders that should have been published in Part One, however, were left out for reasons of, what I think, anachronism. Some words, phrases and place names in them do not belong to the date given in them. They are now included in Part Two. Because on second thought, I consider it best to leave the decision to the scholars.: When a date is missing where it should be, I supply it in parenthesis after checking the event in the order against any other record available including the chronicles. When it fails, I would simply give it a date of an order before it or after it as the case may be, because a date ls essential in an order and it was.only through sl~ght that the scribe who had it copied failed to mention it. In the course of collecting these orders, I found quite a number of notes and observations which are not orders but which could be profitably used with the orders. I intend to edit them and put them in an appendix to the last number of these books on the Royal Orders of Burma. A brief survey of political situation ln Burma after the fall of Pagan, as mentioned in some Burmese and Mon inscriptions would be of some interest here.

  • Thai-Burmese Warfare During the Sixteenth Century and the Growth of the First Toungoo Empire1
    Thai-Burmese warfare during the sixteenth century 69 THAI-BURMESE WARFARE DURING THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY AND THE GROWTH OF THE FIRST TOUNGOO EMPIRE1 Pamaree Surakiat Abstract A new historical interpretation of the pre-modern relations between Thailand and Burma is proposed here by analyzing these relations within the wider historical context of the formation of mainland Southeast Asian states. The focus is on how Thai- Burmese warfare during the sixteenth century was connected to the growth and development of the first Toungoo empire. An attempt is made to answer the questions: how and why sixteenth century Thai-Burmese warfare is distinguished from previous warfare, and which fundamental factors and conditions made possible the invasion of Ayutthaya by the first Toungoo empire. Introduction As neighbouring countries, Thailand and Burma not only share a long border but also have a profoundly interrelated history. During the first Toungoo empire in the mid-sixteenth century and during the early Konbaung empire from the mid-eighteenth to early nineteenth centuries, the two major kingdoms of mainland Southeast Asia waged wars against each other numerous times. This warfare was very important to the growth and development of both kingdoms and to other mainland Southeast Asian polities as well. 1 This article is a revision of the presentations in the 18th IAHA Conference, Academia Sinica (December 2004, Taipei) and The Golden Jubilee International Conference (January 2005, Yangon). A great debt of gratitude is owed to Dr. Sunait Chutintaranond, Professor John Okell, Sarah Rooney, Dr. Michael W. Charney, Saya U Myint Thein, Dr. Dhiravat na Pombejra and Professor Michael Smithies.

  • Buddhism and Written Law: Dhammasattha Manuscripts and Texts in Premodern Burma
    BUDDHISM AND WRITTEN LAW: DHAMMASATTHA MANUSCRIPTS AND TEXTS IN PREMODERN BURMA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Dietrich Christian Lammerts May 2010 2010 Dietrich Christian Lammerts BUDDHISM AND WRITTEN LAW: DHAMMASATTHA MANUSCRIPTS AND TEXTS IN PREMODERN BURMA Dietrich Christian Lammerts, Ph.D. Cornell University 2010 This dissertation examines the regional and local histories of dhammasattha, the preeminent Pali, bilingual, and vernacular genre of Buddhist legal literature transmitted in premodern Burma and Southeast Asia. It provides the first critical analysis of the dating, content, form, and function of surviving dhammasattha texts based on a careful study of hitherto unexamined Burmese and Pali manuscripts. It underscores the importance for Buddhist and Southeast Asian Studies of paying careful attention to complex manuscript traditions, multilingual post- and para- canonical literatures, commentarial strategies, and the regional South-Southeast Asian literary, historical, and religious context of the development of local legal and textual practices. Part One traces the genesis of dhammasattha during the first and early second millennia C.E. through inscriptions and literary texts from India, Cambodia, Campå, Java, Lakå, and Burma and investigates its historical and legal-theoretical relationships with the Sanskrit Bråhmaˆical dharmaßåstra tradition and Pali Buddhist literature. It argues that during this period aspects of this genre of written law, akin to other disciplines such as alchemy or medicine, functioned in both Buddhist and Bråhmaˆical contexts, and that this ecumenical legal culture persisted in certain areas such as Burma and Java well into the early modern period.

  • Two Compilers of Myanmar History and Their Chronicles
    Two Compilers of Myanmar History and their Chronicles Thaw Kaung* Introduction From about the second or third decade of the 18th century to mid- 19th century, a profusion of historical works were compiled in Myanmar. It was the great age of Myanmar historical writing. Myint Swe1 lists (9) works for the late 18th century and (12) works for the early 19th century. Victor Lieberman, in a fascinating new book2, has also written of the popularization of historical and legal texts in Myanmar from around 1711. With cultural integration in early 18th century Myanmar, there was wider literacy, and laymen, not monks, began to dominate the transmission of information scene. The first real chronicle of Myanmar was written in prose by U Kala (c. 1678–1738), the Maha Yazawin- daw-gyi (The Great Chronicle)3, probably in the third decade of the 18th century. To cite Victor Lieberman ''After U Kala came a rain of [imperial] chronicles'' including both private and official histories, by laymen as well as monks4.
