520 _a"An Historical Relation of the Island Ceylon in the East Indies" by Robert Knox is a book written in 1681. It recounts Knox's nineteen years as a prisoner in the Kingdom of Kandy after being captured during a trading voyage. Written during his return journey to England, the book offers detailed observations of Sinhalese life, customs, and society in seventeenth-century Sri Lanka. Its direct, practical style influenced Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" and helped shape the development of the English novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
