Viac o knihe
Set against the backdrop of 1930s Ceylon, the story follows Henry Fyre Gould, an anti-missionary from New York City, who attempts to create a utopian society rooted in Buddhism. However, his idealism clashes with the harsh realities of caste struggles, political unrest, and personal conflicts within the village of Rajottama. The narrative delves into the complexities of Western fascination with Eastern philosophies, while examining themes of faith, love, and the unintended consequences of one's beliefs.
