A close critical study, written in Sinhala, of the novel Baddegama as it is set for the Sinhala paper of the G.C.E. Advanced Level examination under the revised syllabus. Kalpa Eranda works through the novel in detail, and the book is addressed squarely to candidates preparing for that examination and to the teachers guiding them.
Baddegama itself is the Sinhala version of Leonard Woolf's novel of village life in the dry-zone jungle, long established on Sri Lankan syllabuses and widely read outside them. This companion volume is not the novel; it is an examination of it, intended to be read alongside the text.
Buyers outside Sri Lanka should note that the entire book is in Sinhala, with no English text. It will be of use to students sitting the Advanced Level paper, to those teaching the set text, and to Sinhala readers who want a sustained commentary on the novel rather than a summary of it. It is published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co., a house long associated with school and examination titles in Sinhala and English.
