The Village in the Jungle

Author: Woolf, Leonard

Synopsis:

In the heart of the Ceylonese jungle, a remote village struggles to survive amidst the harsh realities of nature and the oppressive forces of colonial rule. Through the eyes of a young boy named Silindu, we are transported into a world of ancient traditions, superstitions, and the relentless battle for survival. As Silindu's life intertwines with the lives of the villagers, we witness the profound impact of poverty, corruption, and the unyielding power of the jungle itself.
