Woolf (Virginia's hubby) was a colonial administrator. That experience provided the background for his 1913 novel, which tells the story of the harsh lives of Ceylonese (now Sri Lanka) villagers, who face both natural and human-made obstacles to their survival. This edition includes a new intro plus Woolf's short story "Pearls Before Swine." Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
