| 释义 | {{italic title}}{{unreferenced|date=June 2010}} The Burman: His Life and Notions (1882) is a book about the peoples and customs of Burma (now Myanmar). First published under the pseudonym Shway Yoe, the book was written by the Scottish journalist and British Colonial administrator James George Scott. The book caused a sensation when it was first published because it was considered impossible that a Burman could write so well in English - Shway Yoe's unbiased tone and positive curiosity is also one reason that the author was presumed Burmese by the British. The book is most noteworthy in the fact that the author made an extremely detailed and unparallelled description of the Burmese people and their culture, from their pagoda festivals to their lacquer, traditions, religion, dressing, food, and almost any category related. {{DEFAULTSORT:Burman}}{{Burma-stub}}{{sociology-book-stub}} 4 : Burmese culture|1882 books|Books about Myanmar|Works published under a pseudonym |
