A Sinhala-language title from Godage International Publishers, an established Colombo house that publishes across Sinhala and English. The whole book is in Sinhala, printed in Sinhala script — there is no English text and no parallel translation, so it will suit readers who are comfortable reading Sinhala fluently.
The title, Hansa Geethaya, translates literally as "swan song", a phrase that carries in Sinhala much the same sense it does in English: a final work, a last utterance, something performed at the close.
Parakkrama S. Wejewardana's book comes from a publisher whose list is widely stocked in Sri Lankan bookshops but rarely distributed outside the country, which is the usual reason people look for Godage titles abroad.
Likely buyers are Sinhala readers living overseas, members of the Sri Lankan diaspora keeping a home library in the language, and students or academics working with contemporary Sinhala publishing who want the original rather than anything adapted.
