Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. An epic, multigenerational story of courage and sacrifice unfolds in a tropical dictatorship, capturing a pivotal moment in Burma (Myanmar). In May 2009, Burma stands as one of the world's most repressive nations, ruled by a military junta at the peak of its power. Despite decades of brutality and the house arrest of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, a diverse group of misfits and dreamers emerges, united by their determination to resist the oppressive regime. Among them are Nway, a daring maverick; Nigel, his ally and rival; and Grandpa, the senior strategist recently released from nineteen years in prison. They prepare to confront a battle decades in the making. The narrative follows their journey through the streets of Rangoon and the digital realm of Internet cafes, revealing the inner lives of Nway and his comrades. The author, who spent four years undercover reporting among dissidents, illustrates how this movement formed, faced near extinction, and ultimately compelled the government to initiate a process of political reform. This story is a profound exploration of defiance, courage, and the enduring quest for freedom.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One of Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2015 An epic, multigenerational story of courage and sacrifice set in a tropical dictatorship, The Rebel of Rangoon captures a gripping moment of possibility in Burma (Myanmar)Once the shining promise of Southeast Asia, Burma in May 2009 ranks among the world's most repressive and impoverished nations. Its ruling military junta seems to be at the height of its powers. But despite decades of constant brutality,and with their leader, the Nobel Peace Prize-laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, languishing under house arrest,a shadowy fellowship of oddballs and misfits, young dreamers and wizened elders, bonded by the urge to say no to the system, refuses to relent. In the byways of Rangoon and through the pathways of Internet cafes, Nway, a maverick daredevil Nigel, his ally and sometime rival and Grandpa, the movement's senior strategist who has just emerged from nineteen years in prison, prepare to fight a battle fifty years in the making.When Burma was still sealed to foreign journalists, Delphine Schrank spent four years underground reporting among dissidents as they struggled to free their country. From prison cells and safe houses, The Rebel of Rangoon follows the inner life of Nway and his comrades to describe that journey, revealing in the process how a movement of dissidents came into being, how it almost died, and how it pushed its government to crack apart and begin an irreversible process of political reform. The result is a profoundly human exploration of daring and defiance and the power and meaning of freedom.…
