This is a children's title in Sinhala, written by Niranjan Chaminda Karunathilake and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena. International buyers should note that the entire text is in Sinhala script, with no English edition of the contents.
The volume belongs to the Great Stories series and carries the Sinhala title Lova Haravoo Minissu — the people who turned the world. It gathers short life stories of figures who shaped the modern technology industry: Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Larry Page and Mark Zuckerberg. Each is presented as a biographical sketch of the person's path through life rather than as a technical account of the companies they built.
The book is produced in colour throughout and written for young readers, with the material shaped to suit a child's reading level. The publisher's aim for the series is plainly stated: to put before children examples of determination, creativity and persistence, and to encourage confidence in their own abilities and the resilience to meet setbacks.
It suits Sinhala-reading households with primary-age children, Sri Lankan families abroad keeping up a child's Sinhala reading, and school and classroom libraries looking for biography written for younger readers in the language. Adults reading aloud to a child will find the pieces short enough to take one at a sitting.
