Book Description

Cambodia: a Journey through the Land of the Khmer throws the doors to this small Southeast Asian kingdom wide open and invites both visitors and armchair travelers on a trip through the history and landscape of Cambodia while introducing the country s people, their unique and resilient culture and colorful festivals. Cambodia s temples are legendary the Angkor Empire ruled much of Southeast Asia from the 10th to the 15th century and its ancient monuments left to us today are a sublime dream in stone, a Herculean effort in craftsmanship and a tour de force of the imagination. From the world famous Angkor Wat, the largest religious building in the world, to the gigantic capital city of Angkor Thom and to lesser known ruins of Beng Melea and Ko Ker, hidden deep in the Cambodian jungle, acclaimed Lonely Planet photographer Kraig Lieb has scoured Cambodia s architectural treasures for more than twenty years to cover all aspects of one of Asia s greatest civilizations and most intensely productive cultures. But there s more to Cambodia: a Journey through the Land of the Khmer than architectural splendour. The book is also a journey through the kingdom s countryside which is almost as dreamlike as its monuments traditional farm and river life carries on as it has done for hundreds of years, people live by the rhythms of nature and season. Cambodia s smaller cities and towns as well as its beaches, stretching from Thailand in the West to Vietnam in the East, have been barely discovered. Beyond the temples, Kraig Lieb takes us on a visual journey to the most attractive corners of Cambodia s capital Phnom Penh, called the Pearl of Asia by the French - a bustling, attractive city crammed with colonial and modernist architecture, busy temples and thriving street markets. Cambodia: a Journey through the Land of the Khmer brings the kingdom to life, presenting festivals and lively street scenes, sumptuous rural vistas and a close look into the country s tragic recent history. Asia-based writer Tom Vater wrote an insightful text to accompany the images.

Book Description

Robin Yong is a no-frills photographer who uses natural light to create stunning and captivating images. In his new photography collection, Cambodia: The Legends Live On, he takes readers on a dazzling journey of discovery with the people and lesser-known places in this beautiful land.

Through his lens, you are invited to travel through the glistening lotus flower fields, where you will meet local children cooling off in the hot sun. Inspired by the mystical waterfalls of Phnom Kulen, the Khmer boxers, and the Cambodian Circus, where students have transformed their lives through performing art, Yong showcases the unique beauty and power of his subjects.

Rather than focus on the ancient temples, the ubiquitous stars of most collections of Cambodian photography, Yong prefers to celebrate the quiet beauty of the country and its people, including the saffron-robed monks at Tonle Sap and the rice fields, or the traditional Apsara dancers.

The result is a set of photographs that reflect the splendour of this country that many travelers do not usually see. Cambodia is a dynamic and developing country with a promising future. After seeing these images, those who have been lucky enough to visit Cambodia will be tempted to visit this beautiful country again.

Book Description

Cambodia, a country of immense natural beauty, stunning historical heritage, yet scarred by the most brutal and insane suffering imposed upon it by one of its own people in the recent past.

The people of Cambodia are as friendly and warm as the sunshine that so readily shines on the million rice paddies but can also make the capital Phnom Penh a veritable dustbowl outside of the rainy season. Take your time to explore this gem of a country, enjoy the myriad of markets, the food stalls and restaurants. Make sure to check the weather patterns before planning a visit there though - in the rainy season you'll need more than sturdy boots to cope with the copious quantity of water that regularly falls from the sky.

It's possible to stay in the most modern accommodation and miss the feel of the place, in which case you've not been to the Cambodia that I have had the fortune to visit.

In the Shadow of Angkor: Unknown Temples of Ancient Cambodia [Paperback]

Author: George Groslier, Kent Davis (Editor), Pedro Rodriguez (Translator) Publisher: DatASIA, Inc. Publishing Date: 2014 Paperback: 188 pages Language: English ISBN-10: 1934431907 ISBN-13: 978-1934431900 Format: Paperback Product Dimensions: 9.6 x 6.7 x 0.4 inches Shipping Weight: 11.4 ounces Buy at Amazon

Book Description

On June 6, 1913, George Groslier, a twenty-six year old French explorer, set out with a small group of native porters on a six-month trek in the Cambodian wilderness. A millennium earlier, the Khmer empire had ruled the entire region. In the 15th century, however, the kingdom mysteriously collapsed, with dense jungle quickly covering its fabulous temples. The French government charged Groslier with documenting the most remote edifices of the Khmer legacy - among them Preah Vihear, Wat Phu, Beng Melea and Banteay Chhmar - sites that remain isolated even a century later. This modern edition - enhanced with 75 period illustrations and detailed appendices - offers readers the first English translation of the dangers, discoveries and people encountered on his solitary adventure. Groslier's impressions and insights still fascinate those who, even today, seek answers in the ancient shrines of Cambodia. "What we find in the shadow of Angkor is not merely an extraordinary example of a dead civilization... but a dead civilization whose torches have been kept alight and shine on." George Groslier - Tonle Repou, July 12, 1913 "The re-publication of Groslier's book is a cause for celebration. While much interest stems from descriptions of these temples as he saw them in 1913 - when they were indeed virtually unknown to more than a few western scholars - there is much more to be found in this book of lyrical, and at times poetic, writing."

Meet taxi drivers, writers, hip hop stars, and monks on a colorful adventure to an extraordinarily beautiful country, and one of the world's hottest new destinations

The ancient and mysterious ruins of Cambodia have long captured the imagination of visitors, more so now than ever before. Here, Walter Mason charts an affectionate, intimate, and deeply personal look at a Kingdom that has drawn him back again and again since his youth. Whether he's watching young monks recite the Buddha's life stories, visiting shamans and fortune tellers, or discovering the darker alleys of Phnom Penh with a romantic novelist and a world-weary street hustler, Walter takes the reader straight to the heart of this famously unknowable country. As heat, dust, and weariness take their toll, he remains alive to the charms, and even seductions, of a place that was once a byword for misery and human suffering. This book takes readers on a joyful and constantly fascinating literary journey in which Cambodia is vibrant and its people excited about the future, while never denying their haunted past.
