"Eloquence in Stone" by Sinharaja Delgoda
"Eloquence in Stone journeys through the two and half millennia of Sri Lanka’s history. It tells a tale of destruction and downfall, flowering and regeneration, decline and inexorable decay.
As it unfolds we move from the age of stone to the age of wood and finally to the era of wattle and daub. Much more than the story of monuments in stone, it is an account of the culture which grew up around them, the world which produced them and the people who built them."
