Can some one please explain. other questions (1) At the 2nd paragraph, "The wretched prisoners huddling in the stinking cages....who has been flogged with bamboos"--> Did it actually happened? or simply an imagination to let read get the idea how the imperialism did to colonialism? (2) Last sentence of the 2nd paragraph - "ask any Anglo-India official, if you can catch him off duty" What does it mean ? I read comments posted on the website who refer Elephant as British.

I was searching the public library web site for audio book downloads, hoping to find something useful for my students,and I couldn't find what I wanted. Your site came up through wikipedia. I'm impressed. I knew this was great for ESL students, but I just learned that listening to stories develops mathematical/logical skills as well, so I want to try to build an audio collection for regular comp students as well. Thanks, this is really great. Wow! I was searching the public library web site for audio book downloads, hoping to find something useful for my students,and I couldn’t find what I wanted.

"Enjoy" isn't quite the right word, but it made a big impact and gave me an insight into colonialism that I lacked before. I had no idea Orwell had this background or had ever written anything like this. Thanks.
