The very first of her lengthy list of translations is Italian novelist Ignazio Silone\u2019s Fontamara. The translation played a crucial role in the early seventies when the access to world literature was very much limited for the Sri Lankan Sinhala readership. Veteran literary critic Reggie Siriwardana identified her as an epitome of the Sinhala-medium-educated generation well versed in European literature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The translation of Fontamara was the first step of Govinnage\u2019s long literary journey. Another instrumental literary contribution by Govinnage reached the Sinhala readership as the translation of Life With Picasso. As a translator, Govinnage had a cause for every work she translated. Most translations came out with her justification as to why the particular work was chosen for translation. She also found much success with translations of Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara\u2019s works such as the Motorcycle Diaries. She was also the founder editor of Buddha Pradeepa, the Daily News Vesak annual. The funeral will take place at her native village, Dummalasuriya.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Malini Govinnage no more Source:Dailynews Former Deputy Editor of the Daily News, veteran journalist and author Malini Govinnage passed away yesterday.
