The Village in the Jungle
''The Village in the Jungle'' is a novel by Leonard Woolf, published in 1913, based on his experiences as a colonial civil servant in British-controlled Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in the early years of the 20th century. Ground-breaking in Western fiction for being written from the native rather than the colonial point of view,〔 it is also an influential work of Sri Lankan literature.
== Background ==
Leonard Woolf worked for the British Ceylon Civil Service in Sri Lanka for seven years after graduating from Cambridge University in 1904. In Cambridge Woolf had become part of the Bloomsbury Group.〔 He became Assistant Government Agent in Sri Lanka, dealing with a variety of administrative and judicial issues. The district he was in charge of had a population of 100,000 people. Books he took with him to Sri Lanka included the complete works of Voltaire.〔 Woolf also kept a comprehensive diary while there, and later said that his experiences in the country led to him adopting liberal political views and becoming an opponent of imperialism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.smith.edu/libraries/libs/rarebook/exhibitions/penandpress/case5c.htm )〕 He wrote ''The Village in the Jungle'', his first novel, after he returned from Sri Lanka to England in 1911 while he was courting his future wife Virginia Stephen. He dedicated the novel to her.〔
