Riassunto

The book ""The Veddas of Ceylon and Their Relation to the Neighboring Tribes"" is a historical and anthropological study conducted by Rudolph Ludwig Carl Virchow in 1888. The book explores the culture, traditions, and lifestyle of the Vedda people, an indigenous tribe living in the island of Sri Lanka. Virchow's research is based on his personal observations and interactions with the Veddas during his visit to the country. The book delves into the Veddas' history, origin, and language, as well as their social and economic organization. Virchow also examines the relationship between the Veddas and other neighboring tribes, such as the Sinhalese and Tamils. He discusses the impact of colonialism and modernization on the Vedda way of life and analyzes the challenges they face in preserving their culture and identity.Overall, ""The Veddas of Ceylon and Their Relation to the Neighboring Tribes"" offers a detailed and insightful account of the Vedda people and their place in Sri Lankan society. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in anthropology, history, and cultural studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
