A masterwork of Sri Lankan cinema, this moving saga of family and class conflict was made by Lester James Peries, his country’s foremost filmmaker and a director much admired by India’s Satyajit Ray. 　　Gamperaliya is regarded as a cornerstone of Sri Lankan cinema, launching upon its release in 1964 ‘a revolution, not only in the way films were made, but also in the content,’ according to producer Anton Wickramasinghe. 　　Peries sought an alternative to the Bollywood-influenced melodramas that dominated Sri Lanka’s commercial cinema, writing stories that looked at the staple issues of melodrama in a more nuanced way. 　　The film, adapted from a novel by Martin Wickramasinghe, focuses on Piyal, a teacher and member of the new rising middle class, who falls in love with the daughter of his village’s leading aristocratic clan; the girl’s parents insist upon a marriage to a stuffed shirt of her own class, one that shifting social forces are already rendering obsolete. 　　Gamperaliya is filmed in an elegant and uncoercive narrative style that has been compared to Satyajit Ray’s Apu Trilogy; its aesthetic choices also have a moral dimension: at every level, this is a movie about the importance of setting aside illusion and exaggeration and seeing things as they are.

《演化：跨越40亿年的生命记录》讲述的是地球上一切生命的进化史，从早期原始生命的产生到物种大爆炸又大灭绝的原因，从雄性和雌性的共同进化到寄主和寄生物之间的进化比赛，当然更包括了十分详细的、关于我们人类自身的进化历程。 　　本书同时也是进化论本身的故事，“进化”这个观念如何在达尔文和少数几个科学家的脑中形成，又如何遭到宗教势力的残酷打击以及科学界的普遍质疑，以致达尔文潜伏20年之久酝酿巨著《物种起源》，展现了达尔文冒险而勤奋的一生。 　　在阐述进化生物学的作用时，作者通过大量案例生动展现了其在医药和农业等方面对人类日常生活产生的巨大影响——其中涉及抗生素滥用的后果方面，在当今更显其意义；而进化论最深刻的作用还在于它彻底改变了人类对自身的认识，重构了人类的信仰体系，作者对此的论述简洁清晰，令人有豁然开朗之感。 　　进化论如今虽已经得到近似真理般的认可，但作者并没有就此摒弃其他的可能性，而是在最后一章中特别探讨了“上帝”的位置，体现出一种开放而严谨的科学态度，使得全书视野更加开阔，带来深入而有趣的思考。
