PREFACE

          Most of these essays, short studies and sketches appeared in Annuals published in Ceylon, India and the Soviet Union between 1960 and 1963. The others are appearing for the first time in this publication.

          I thank Mr. Reggie Siriwardena for reading these essays and making many corrections and Tisara Poth Prakasakayo for publishing them in book form.

Martin Wickramasinghe

Nawala,

Rajagiriya,

FOREWORD

          I have read these essays of my friend Martin Wickramasinghe with great interest and apprecia­tion, and commend them to all readers in the Western as well as the Eastern world. For the former especially there is no greater need than a better understanding of the world-outlooks of the peoples of Asia; and here we have an enlightened Buddhist telling us of his reactions to Russian and West European literature, to modern education, science and learning. With this book we can all, as it were, sit in a basket chair at Nawala (Rajagiriya) and enjoy the conversation of one of the most active minds of contemporary Ceylon.
