Wild Ceylon ? R. L. Spittel
රු1,344.00
A Great Classic Of The Ceylon Jungles, Also Depicting In Vivid Language The Life Of The Veddas Of Ceylon, A Fast Dying-out Aboriginal Race Which Yet Retains Many Of Its Primitive Customs. This Is A Record Which Has A Historical And Ethnological Value To An Exceptional Degree. After Professor Seligmann Wrote His Monumental Book On The Veddas, There Has Been Nothing Like R.L Spittei's Book On This Subject.
It’s The Approach Of A Sensitive And Observing Mind, In Which Scholarship And Science Are Legitimately Subordinated To The Musical Undertones Which Sustain The Writing From Beginning To End, Thus Making A Fine Jungle Book Because It Is Also A Genuine Artistic Creation. The Human Touch Is Introduced In The Revealing Story Of The Last Remnants Of The Pure Vedda Race And No One Who Reads This Book Can Say That He Does Not Know The Variegated And Endless Beauty Of Ceylon's Jungle Trails.

Savge Santuary – R.L Spittel
රු1,480.00“Novels About Ceylon, Or Even With A Cingalese Background. Are Far And Few Between. Yet There Are Few Lands Which Present Such An Intriguing Atmosphere Against Which To Exercise The Novelist’s Imagination. Savage Sanctuary By R. Spittel Is A Story Dealing With The Veddas, The Aborigines Of Ceylon, A Race Now Almost Extinct. Mr. Spittel Made A Personal Investigation In The Jungle Retreats Where The Remnants Of The Veddas Still Live Their Strange Lives; And Here He Heard At First Hand The Dramatic Tale Of The Life And Adventures Of Tissahamy, The Vedda Outlaw. It Is A Fascinating Drama, With The Ceylon Jungle For It’s Moving Stage. Mr. Spittel Has Made A Profound Study Of The Veddas From An Anthropological Viewpoint, But His Book Is Far More Than That. It Is Also A Powerful And Moving Record Of The Fight Between The Virile Representative Of A Dying Race, Who Typifies All That Is Best And Worst In That Race, And The Resources Of Civilization.
‘’we Watch Tissahamy From His Youth, Going His Way, Working His Will, Heedless Of Reprimands, Disregarding The Law, Taking What He Wanted Where He Found It, Ruthless Alike In Love And War, Matching His Wits Against The Wild Animals Of The Forest And Against The Power Of The Law As Represented By Armed Police. He Is Never Caught, Although His Family Is Scattered And Some Of Them Killed In The Mad Hunt Which Follows A Series Of Murders By Himself And His Eldest Son. Though His Cruelty To His Wife Is Horrible, Yet He Is A Loyal Father To His Children, And One Cannot Help A Sneaking Sympathy For A Savage Who In Many Ways Has The Instincts Of A Robin Hood.
There Is A Wealth Of Material Dealing With The Habits And Character Of The Veddas And The Jungle Background Is Magnificently Painted. The Scraper-board Illustrations By Jan Cooke Illumine The Pages, And Are By No Means The Least Interesting Feature Of The Book.”

Seeing Ceylon – R.L. Brohier
රු640.00
There Are Few Professions, The Activities Of Which Are Less Known To A Popular World, Than The Survey. There Are None More Rich In Opportunities For The Study Of Nature In Its Many Aspects, For The Exploration And Investigation Of Vestiges Of An Old-time Civilization Or For Gleaning The Lore And Legend, And The Simple Thoughts Of People Who Find Refuge Away From Civilization.
The Book Is The Product Of Over Forty Years Of Travel, On The Highways, And Along Byways Of Ceylon, In Association With "The Theodolite And The Tape". It Consists Largely Of Legends And Traditions Which Have Come Down By Word Of Mouth From One Generation To The Other. They Therefore Defy Close Analysis Of Observation, But Are Unconsciously Held By A Simple, Conservative People To Be True.
These Stories, Collected In The Course Of My Circuits, Call To Memory Treks Through Forests—where The Canopy Of Tree-tops Shuts Out Sunlight, And The Strange Odours Of Herbs And Leaves And Rotting Wood Pervade Everything; The Sun-scorched Plains—where Soggy And Sodden With Sweat One Traverses Open Chenas While Heat-waves Dance In The Dazzling Sunshine; Up Craggy Mountains -- Where In A Biting Wind As A Cold As Charity, One Patiently Waits The Lifting Of Mist To Make An Observation. They Call To Mind Many Elderly "Story-tellers" (Many Of Them Perhaps Now Dead), Who Can Always Be Found Among The Forest Dwellers, The Village Rustic And The Temple Recluse—provided One Is Prepared To Lend A Sympathetic Ear To What They Have To Tell.
