About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Village in the Jungle by Leonard Woolf. Read in English by Danielle Cartwright; Jim Locke Woolf wrote this novel based on his experience as a government agent for British imperialist-controlled Ceylon in the early part of the twentieth-century. He focuses his story on one poor family in a jungle village as they struggle to survive, not just faced with a very harsh environment but with their own human prejudices, superstitions, jealousies, violence, ignorance, and greed. In the background is the other enemy: the foreign government that controls them but does not really understand or care for these uncivilized, not really human beings. It was an important work because its point of view was sympathetically a native one. JL
