Description
Elephant Complex is a gripping account of an under-reported island, offering a unique blend of travel, history and psychological insight. John Gimlette's engaging narrative brings to life the complexities of Sri Lanka, a country that is both dazzling and strange.
Through his experiences, from hacking ancient paths in the jungle to observing the social mores of Colombo's city life, Gimlette shares his own unique perspective on this conflicted and beautiful island. With a treasure-chest of research and a gift for wry amusement, he invites readers into a world that is both fascinating and unsettling.
