In his latest book released this year, Gananath Obeysekere paints a vivid portrait of the kings of the great green highlands of Kandy, revealing a complex and advanced society every bit as violent as any other civilization. Focusing on kings Vimaladharmasuriya 1, Rajasinha II, Sri Vijaya Rajasinha and Kirti Sri Rajasinha, he brings the Kandyan monarchy to life, depicting them not as mythic figures but as real flesh and blood, larger than life characters who ruled over the last citadel of Lankan aristocracy #Septembermadness #onlinebooksale #pererahussein #GananathObeyesekere #themanyfacesofthekandyankingdom #kandyankingdom #srilankanhistory
