Simon Gregory Perera offers a fascinating account of the Jesuit mission in Ceylon during the 16th and 17th centuries. He provides detailed descriptions of the Jesuit's struggles to spread their message in a hostile environment and the impact their efforts had on the region's culture and society. Perera's book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of colonialism, religious missions, and the interactions between different cultures.
