Hundreds of golden-roofed stupas rise above the trees in Burma's majestic landscapes.
In 1921, to enter the depths of the land of a thousand pagodas, Somerset Maugham chose to go up the Irrawaddy River to Bagan and then Mandalay. From this life-changing journey to discover Burmese culture, the British author drew inspiration to write "The Gentleman in the Parlour", one of his major works.
