The Malayan Trilogy, also published as The Long Day Wanes: A Malayan Trilogy in the United States, is a comic 'triptych' of novels by Anthony Burgess set amidst the decolonisation of Malaya. It is a detailed fictional exploration of the effects of the Malayan Emergency and of Britain's final withdrawal from its Southeast Asian territories. The American title, decided on by Burgess himself, is taken from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem Ulysses: 'The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks: | The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep | Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends, | 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.' (ll. 55-57)

  • La Trilogia malese è un ciclo di romanzi, scritta da Anthony Burgess ed ambientata in una Malaysia di fine Impero britannico. I tre romanzi (L'ora della tigre, Il nemico tra le coperte e Letti d'Oriente) vengono dapprima pubblicati singolarmente e successivamente raccolti e pubblicati insieme col titolo The long day wanes ("Il lungo giorno svanisce") negli Stati Uniti e come A Malayan Trilogy in Gran Bretagna e negli altri paesi del Commonwealth. Nei tre romanzi, l'insegnante Victor Crabbe, uno dei tanti funzionari britannici incaricati di formare la nuova classe dirigente indigena, si muove cercando di annodare i fili della propria esistenza tra gl'incubi personali e le contraddizioni di quel groviglio di etnie e lingue che è l'ex-colonia britannica negli anni cinquanta.
