මහගම සේකර
12 books187 followersMahagama Sekera was one of the most versatile of artists this country has produced and one of the leading catalysts in the Sri Lankan artistic renaissance which started in the late 1950s. Often regarded as the nation’s finest poet of the 20th century, Sekera inspired several generations of writers even after his time.
Sekara was often being imitated but never duplicated. As a poet and a lyricist he developed the prevailing tradition and drew upon the language of the folk to up shape a modern lyrical and poetic diction. He was a poet, lyricist, painter, broadcaster, playwright, novelist, short story writer and also became a reputed moviemaker after directing his semi-autobiographical novel Thun Man Handiya as a motion picture.
Mahagama Sekera embraced a vast territory of concerns in his creative process with a sensitivity that recognized humanity and life. Having rendered a great service to the nation through his multifaceted contributions which reflect an ever-continuing significance, he still holds and is very much a part of the contemporary consciousness.

A story about three generations the past, present and the future written in 1960's. Tells the struggles of the present generation and finishes with a better hope for the future. This book has some similarities with "Prabudda" as well.

It’s a beautiful written modern poetry style story about three generations. The formation of the story and how has connected the characters are beautiful.
Mahagama sekara has a unique writing style and mostly talk about the life of people who come to colombo from a village with a dream and how their lives changes, adoptions, having family, cheating of wife, disappointment, realizations etc. I have seen this sot plot repeatedly in his books. Overall this is a good and well connected story.
