Mahavamsa
Mahanama (trans. Wilhelm Geiger)
The Mahāvamsa is the primary historical chronicle of ancient Sri Lanka, tracking the survival of Buddhism through centuries of royal intrigue and warfare. Readers will confront the tension between myth and reality while discovering how early historians preserved the memory of kings, councils, and the growth of a global faith.
