This classic novel of colonial Ceylon (Sri Lanka), was first
published in 1913 and is written by a prominent member of the
Bloomsbury group, husband of Virginia Woolf. It reads as if Thomas
Hardy had been born among the heat, scent, sensuality and pungent
mystery of the tropics. Translated into both Tamil and Sinhalese,
it is one of the best-loved and best-known stories in Sri Lanka. It
includes a new biographical afterword by Sir Christopher Ondaatje,
author of "Woolf in Ceylon", and a short story, "Pearls before
Swine", which vividly draws on Woolf's experience as a young
District Commissioner. This book reeks of first-hand knowledge of
the colonial experience, and of its profound, malign disregard for
the psychology and culture of its subject peoples.
