Description
In Journey to the Kingdom of Ava, Leoncio Robles travels through Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, a country whose history records repeated frustrated struggles to gain access to freedom and democracy, and whose inhabitants have learned to live in constant instability. We know, for example, a descendant of the last Shan prince assassinated by the coup military, who discreetly divulges the legacy of his ancestor; and an old upper-class woman who altruistically teaches English to peasant children, convinced that education
is the tool to conquer freedom. All this in the middle of a war that involves approximately fifteen ethnic groups.
Combining historical information and travel journals, Robles brings us closer to a reality as complex as it is fascinating. He shows us the consequences of more than fifty years of armed conflict. In these pages the image of the Myanmar of these times is condensed, through a story that represents horror and sadness, but also broken dreams and the promises of an
enchanted land devoured by oblivion.
