Produktinformationen zu „Remembrances / Ann de Zoysa (ePub)“

Set in the island of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and later Canada, and is an autobiography in poetry form. Starting with the two most important persons in my life, and going onto recall my upbringing in the nineteen ¿fties and sixties. Being brought up in the old colonial regime of my grandfather, and being shown many aspects of his benevolent, but sometime brusque nature, and a mother who lovingly nurtured me. Comaraderieship among siblings is highlighted.

I pinpoint the British catholic school upbringing, which "moulded" the child's character, so to speak. Mine was a mixed race. "The Burgers", (meaning citizens in Dutch). A fraction of Sri Lanka society, descending from Europeans. Me, from the Portuguese and British. I quote from "An inside guide to Sri Lanka". We, the burgers are now ".....,, at the crossroads of culture", and as a race have spread our wings to vast domains of the global sphere.

Autoren-Porträt von Ann de Zoysa

I was born in Colombo, (Ceylon), Sri Lanka on the 22nd of January 1950. I graduated from St. Anthony's Convent Colombo and went on to obtain an Associated Teacher's Diploma at The Wendy Whitmore Academy of Speech and Drama in 1973. I am the youngest in a family of four and grew up with three brothers. I immigrated to Canada in 1975. I have one daughter, Helena, who was born to me in 1979. Having been in the line of teaching in Sri Lanka, I pursued my career further, obtaining a diploma in Early Childhood Education (E.C.E) in 1983. I then taught in various daycare centers in Toronto. It was while working with children, that I was inspired to put together this book. I owe my writing career to my mother and maternal grandfather, who imbibed in me, a love for poetry. Thus, I was able to soar to newer and greater heights as it were. My favorite poet, Rudyard Kipling wrote: If you can fill the unforgiving minute, with sixty seconds worth of distance run, yours is the earth, and everything that's in it..
