Two Years In Ava is a memoir by Thomas Abercromby Trant, originally published in 1827. The book details Trant's experiences during his two-year stint in Ava, the capital city of the Kingdom of Burma, from May 1824 to May 1826. Trant was a British officer who was sent to Ava as part of a diplomatic mission to negotiate a peace treaty with the Burmese king. The book provides a vivid account of Trant's daily life in Ava, including his interactions with the Burmese court, his observations of the local culture and customs, and his experiences navigating the challenges of living in a foreign land.Throughout the book, Trant provides detailed descriptions of the people he encountered, the places he visited, and the events he witnessed. He also offers insights into the political and social landscape of Burma during this period, including the ongoing conflicts between the Burmese and the British.Overall, Two Years In Ava provides a fascinating glimpse into life in 19th-century Burma, as seen through the eyes of a British officer. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Burma, British colonialism, or cross-cultural interactions during this time period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
