Book excerpt: Growing is a portrait of a young man sent straight out from university to help govern Ceylon. It is doubtful that any Empire at any time has been served by such an intelligent, dutiful, hardworking and incorruptible civil servant as the young Leonard Woolf. He was determined to do what was good but discovered for himself that colonial rule, be it ever so high-minded, is fated to do wrong. Growing is also a deeply affectionate account of the mystery, magic and savage beauty of Ceylon at the turn of the century, an island whose diverse beliefs and cultures Woolf had the time and wit to explore in detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Happy Years in Ceylon What can be the reason that writers on Ceylon seem impelled to describe their book as a term of years? - 'Fifty Years in Ceylon.' An Autobiography by Major Thomas Skinner. 'Eleven Years in Ceylon.' By Major Forbes, 78th Highlanders. 'Eight Years in Ceylon.' By Sir Samuel Baker. 'Seven Years in Ceylon.' By Mary and Margaret Leitch, - and finally, 'Two Happy Years in Ceylon,' by C. F. Gordon Cumming, who had so named her notes of pleasant days in the fair Isle, before realising that any of her predecessors had thus described their longer terms of residence therein? I can only ascribe it to the fact, so evident in each of these works, that the several writers have retained such sweet memories of 'Moonlit seas, Of dreamy sunsets, and of balmy air, Of glowing landscapes and of shadowy bowers Where stately palms low murmur in the breeze,' - that they have loved to enumerate the months and years that glided by amid such pleasant influences.

Download or read book Woolf in Ceylon written by Christopher Ondaatje and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonard Woolf was born in London in 1880 and spent five years at Trinity College, Cambridge where he began lasting friendships with men such as Lytton Strachey, E. M. Forster and John Maynard Keynes. In 1904 Woolf applied to join the home civil service but failed the exam. Instead, he was sent to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) as a cadet in the Ceylon civil service, joining the small group of white administrators who ruled the colony. He remained there for nearly seven years. In Woolf in Ceylon Christopher Ondaatje, who was himself born and brought up on the island, follows in the footsteps of Woolf. Drawing on his personal experience of Ceylon and empire, he compares the way of life during imperial days with that of the post-colonial era. We learn as much about the country, its people and their transformation of the country during the past century as we do about the man who used his colonial career to become one of the leading English men of letters of the twentieth century. Ondaatje s sensitive descriptions, illustrated with period and modern photographs, tell the compelling story of Woolf s sojourn in Ceylon and his developing disillusionment with the British colonial system. The result is a unique evocation of both a vanished imperial world and a colonial servant s enduring legacy in the contemporary culture of an enchanted but troubled island.
