A
selection from the books to which reference is made by Martin
Wickramasinghe in his diverse writings is given below. This selection
is only a small part of his personal reference library of over
5000 of titles now housed in the National Library. The fact that
it is a personal selection of books, some with penciled comments
on the pages of the books made by the writer, makes it a rare
collection. This selection provides access to the database
of the comprehensive catalogue of the 5000 volumes of his personal
reference library. |
