An abridged Sinhala translation of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain's American novel, prepared by Premasiri Mahingoda and issued by the Colombo publisher M. D. Gunasena & Co.
The whole book is in Sinhala — text, apparatus and all. Buyers outside Sri Lanka should order it only if they or the intended reader read the language; there is no English text alongside.
Being an abridgement rather than a complete translation, it carries Twain's story at a shorter length, which suits younger readers and anyone coming to the novel in Sinhala for the first time. The publisher presents it as a version attentive to the feeling of the original rather than a plain summary of its events.
Of interest to Sinhala readers building a shelf of world fiction in translation, to families looking for classic stories in the language, and to anyone following the work of Sri Lankan translators who have brought English-language novels into Sinhala.
