The Trouser People: A Story of Burma in the Shadow of the Empire

from kakadoo202

faszinating inside of culture and life in Burma - a country that is rather a white spot on the map for me ("here be dragons"). history of this country is bloodier than expected and tribes and kings are rather ruthless.

Re-created from diaries and letters, the life of Sir George Scott, born in Fife in 1851, spent many years in the remotest parts of Burma, as the entire country became part of the British Empire, and introduced soccer to its inhabitants.

Excellent humorous read. Absolutely worth the time to read. Mixing the biography of George Scott up with the author's travels in his footsteps was brilliant. There were few slow pages here....
