内容简介

Sri Lanka's lush tropical jungles and diverse wildlife have enchanted travelers for centuries. A former British colony that achieved independence after World War II, Sri Lanka has in recent decades been torn by civil war between its two major ethnic groups. From the skylines of modern cities to the mystical beauty of ancient dagobas, this book takes a close look at the island nation that has been known as the Pearl of the Orient.
