A Sinhala-language work by M.B. Gunathilaka, published in Colombo by Godage International Publishers. The title points to the northern region of Sri Lanka and to Sinhala traces within its history — subject matter that places the book among local historical and cultural writing rather than general-interest reading.
The text is entirely in Sinhala, including the title. There is no English edition and no parallel translation, so comfortable reading ability in Sinhala is needed to use it. Buyers outside Sri Lanka ordering on the strength of the subject alone should take that into account.
Godage International Publishers is an established Colombo house with a long list in Sinhala, covering history, literature, religion and social studies, and much of what it issues is written for readers in Sri Lanka rather than for export.
It will suit Sinhala readers with an interest in the history of the north of the island, students and researchers working in Sinhala sources, and members of the Sri Lankan community abroad who read the language and want material that is difficult to find outside the country.
