This is the second volume in a set of essays on Sinhala culture and civilisation by Prof Anurada Senawirathna, published in English by Godage International Publishers of Colombo.
The title signals its territory plainly enough: reflections on the cultural inheritance of the Sinhala people — the kind of writing that sits between scholarship and the essay, addressed to a general reader rather than only to specialists. It is written in English throughout, which puts it within reach of readers abroad and of Sri Lankans who read more comfortably in English than in Sinhala.
Godage publishes widely in both Sinhala and English, with a long list in Sri Lankan history, culture and letters. Books of this sort are printed for the local market and are not always easy to come by outside the island.
Likely to suit readers with a standing interest in Sri Lankan cultural history, students of the subject, and members of the Sinhala diaspora building a shelf of Sri Lankan writing in English. Being a second volume, it will be of particular interest to anyone already reading the series.
