Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book offers a unique glimpse into the history of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, through the eyes of an individual deeply involved in the island's affairs. Spanning a period of 38 years, from 1796 to 1855, the author provides detailed accounts of major events, government changes, and societal shifts, giving readers a firsthand perspective on the transition of Ceylon from Dutch to British rule. The book delves into the turbulent period of the Kandian rebellion, its suppression, and the establishment of British authority throughout the island. It explores the introduction of new policies, such as the abolition of compulsory labor and the expansion of the press, and the impact these changes had on the lives of the Ceylonese people. The author also reflects on the challenges of balancing the interests of European colonial powers with the needs of the local population, highlighting the complexities of colonial administration. By offering a comprehensive and intimate view of Ceylon during a pivotal period in its history, this book provides valuable insights into the intricacies of colonial governance, the dynamics of power, and the social and economic transformations that reshaped the island nation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
