Specificatii
2014 Reprint of 1913 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This
almost forgotten book, first published in 1913, is a remarkable
work because it is the first novel in English literature to be
written from the indigenous point of view rather than that of the
colonizers. The village described in the book is Beddagama and
consists of 10 crude mud huts in a hot dry clearing hacked from the
inexorable jungle in the south of Sri Lanka, the island then known
as Ceylon. We enter into the mindset of rural people, feeling the
terrors and joys of their spiritual beliefs. We also come to see
how, in the material world, they are continually oppressed by debts
to money-lenders and unbreakable obligations to village elders.
Lust and greed start a chain of tragic events which, compounded by
the ignorance and misunderstanding of judges, leads to the
destruction of Silindu's family, and the swallowing up of their
homes by the relentless and hostile scrub. Leonard Woolf is the
husband of Virginia Woolf and founder of the Hogarth Press.
