Readings from Pansodan

pn\;Siu;tn\;mn|maPt\sa
Pansodan Street, in the heart of Yangon, is known for its many second-hand booksellers. The wide street is fringed by stacks of books interspersed with teashops, and many a happy day has been spent between the two. Readings from Pansodan make stories, essays, and other short pieces of literature accessible to intermediate Burmese language learners. As all Readings are based on Burmese-language originals, the learner absorbs natural discourse in the language. Maung Swe Tints story Being Eaten Alive on a Cool, Pleasant Winters Morning was first published in Shumawa Magazine in 1981. It details the daily life and concerns of an intellectual of the Ne Win period. This book contains Maung Swe Tints story in simplified and original form, a translation on facing pages, explanatory material, and exercises to help the learner appreciate and consolidate the material.
