A condensed Sinhala rendering of The Invisible Man, the novel by H. G. Wells, prepared by Premasiri Mahingoda and published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo.
The text is entirely in Sinhala, set in Sinhala script. There is no English in it, and no parallel English text alongside the translation, so it will suit a reader who is comfortable reading Sinhala rather than someone approaching Wells for the first time in English. It is an abridgement rather than a full-length translation of the original.
Translations of this kind have long been a part of Sinhala publishing, bringing well-known works of fiction into the language in shortened form for general readers. For buyers abroad, this is the sort of title that is straightforward to find in Colombo bookshops and considerably harder to track down elsewhere — worth noting if you are building a Sinhala-language shelf, buying for a reader at home who prefers Sinhala, or looking for familiar stories in translation for a younger reader working on their Sinhala.
