Books - LJP - Lester James Peries - Life and Work
The biography comprehensively covers LJP's life from his childhood in colonial Ceylon, through the post-war years in London where he worked as a journalist and then an experimental filmmaker, and takes us through his nearly 56 years of filmmaking in Sri Lanka right up to his new film. An introduction has been included in the form of a detailed and comprehensive assessment of the work and influence of LJP by the respected and widely published academic in the field of the cinema and cultural studies, Prof. Wimal Dissanayake. The publishers have also added a complete filmography and a bio-data section, plus an index and many archival photographs, which make this biography a worthy tribute to both the writer and his subject.
