My Favorite Book
My favorite book is Madol Duva.
The author of Madol Duwa is Mr. Martin Wickrama.
This book is one of the most popular books. Madol Duwa Sinhala Children's Novel has been written by Sri Lankan great author Martin Wickramasinghe. It was first published in 1947. In the 1890s a young man named Upali Agnivale, who lived on the coast of the southern province of Sri Lanka, is the main character. This story is based on the wonderful actions he and his friend Jinnah aka Jinapala did. Upali's dedication to living on a deserted island with her friend is described here. The book has since been translated into several languages around the world, including Tamil, English, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Romanian, Bulgarian. In 1976, Dr. Lester James Peiris wrote this story in a film of the same name.
There are a lot of books made by this author. This book can be purchased from bookstores. Upali Giniwella is a boy living in a village in South Sri Lanka. He lost his mother at the age of seven and is under the care of Kudamma. Jinnah is the servant boy in their house and a close and trusted friend of Upali. The two boys get involved in a lot of nonsense in the village with their gang of boys, resulting in severe punishment from Upali's father. Upali is eventually sent to a new school and has to live with a schoolteacher. When he returns home, the two boys are matted when they try to raid a fruit garden.
