'This novel is one of his finest in a long and redoubtable oeuvre' William Boyd, New York Times From renowned author Paul Theroux comes a fascinating, atmospheric novel inspired by George Orwell's years in Burma There is a short period in everyone's life when his character is fixed forever . . . ' George OrwellEric Blair stood out amongst his fellow police trainees in 1920s Burma. Nineteen years old, unusually tall, a diffident loner fresh from Eton, after five years spent in the narrow colonial world of the Raj – a decaying system steeped in overt racism and petty class-conflict – he would emerge as the George Orwell we know.

Drawing on all his powers of observation and imagination, Paul Theroux brings Orwell's Burma years to radiant life, tracing the development of the young man's consciousness as he confronts the social, racial and class politics and the reality of Burma beyond. Through one writer, we come to understand another - and see how what Orwell called 'five boring years within the sound of bugles' were in fact the years that made him.

'Always a terrific teller of tales and conjurer of exotic locales' Sunday Times'The most gifted, most prodigal writer of his generation' Jonathan Raban

Finally, a pair of pillows that look good on the bed and feel good on the neck.
As much as I like the comfort and support of a cervical neck pillow, they usually have a strange ufo-type look and are usually quite small. It's fine for use, but they are not a great look on the bed. I wanted something more welcoming and full-looking with the support of a c-pillow. This set actually met my hopes and needs. I love how the pillow has two strengths - firmer on one side, softer on the other. That makes it easy to find the best fit for your own neck shape and support needs. The pillows are large enough that side-by-side on a queen sized bed they look welcoming and like they could probably even have matching cases put on them instead of requiring specialty industrial-looking pillow cases like many do. Having proper neck support has reduced headaches and neck tension and allows for better sleep!

Perfect if you're in the right position, not so perfect otherwise
I've been using this for about a week and I like it, but with some caveats. It is shaped so you can only sleep in 2 positions and you can't really move in bed. As long as you are in the correct position, it is really comfortable and provides the best support you can ask for. The problem is if you move around in bed, it turns into a hinderance. With normal pillows, they more or less move with you and are comfortable as you move. This is very specifically great in a single position, but terrible in any other position. If you are able to keep still, this is the perfect pillow for you. If you are like me and roll around too much, its more of a problem for sleeping than a help. I am going to move it over to my couch for napping with, and I think it'll work out far better since the couch isn't really big enough to roll around.

Great quality
Size: Twin, Color: White
This mattress pad is just thick enough without being overly bulky which tends to bunch up after washing. It is super soft and fits twin bed perfectly with just enough padding to add comfort. For a waterproof cover this one is superior to others I've had.

I’m buying more!
Size: Twin, Color: White
The quality of this product is amazing! It looks fantastic, super fluffy and comfortable, keeps accidents from getting onto mattress. It works so well! And is so worth the cost, I’m buying more for the rest of the beds in our house.

Fits great and very comfortable
Size: Queen, Color: White
I purchased because my cat is older and I need something waterproof. It fit my queen bed and my deeper mattress that usually needs extra deep mattresses. It looks nice and went on the bed easily. I have not had her test its waterproof feather yet. I am relieved I do not need to worry or put pee pads down for her. I reas some people find it hot and hear a squeaky sound. I have not experienced either. The padding is a nice addition. I was surprised by the soft padding feature as I was not looking for it. The price was great. I did not want to spend a lot of money for something that did not need forever given my cat is older with kidney problems now. I will not remove it even if it is not needed anymore because I like the cushion. I have purchased the Bedsure brand for other items and always been pleased with their price and quality. I recommend this product
