A Sinhala-language study from Godage International Publishers, written by Prof Mudiyanse Disanayaka. The title translates roughly as "the culture of the historic Vanni" — the Vanni being the dry-zone region of northern Sri Lanka, long associated with its own chieftaincies, settlement patterns and village traditions.
The text is entirely in Sinhala. There is no English translation within it, so a reader will need to be comfortable reading Sinhala prose. For buyers abroad, that is the first thing to be clear about: this is a book for Sinhala readers, not a bilingual or English-language edition.
It will suit readers with an interest in the regional history and cultural life of northern Sri Lanka — students, teachers, and Sinhala-reading members of the diaspora building a library on Sri Lankan subjects. Godage publishes widely in Sinhala across history, culture and literature, and this sits within that part of their list.
