Synopsis

A cornucopia of information on the history and culture of this unique island for the discerning traveller the ideal accompaniment to the standard guide book. With its dramatic vistas, its attractive, hospitable people and its rich cultural traditions, the magical isle of Bali has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions, ever since visitors from the West began to arrive in the early 20th century. Incredibly, ancient Balinese cultural traditions remain intact today, even in the face of 21st century modernity and a highly developed tourist industry. However, few visitors ever really begin to understand the colourful pageantry that surrounds them virtually everywhere they travel on the island. Secrets of Bali is the key to this understanding. From Balinese life, religion, festivals and offerings, architecture, music, dance, textiles, dress, carvings & paintings, masks, manuscripts, cuisine and much more, this is the one book to which the visitor can turn for the answers. A must for foreign visitors, residents, and those everywhere who have fallen under the spell of The Morning of the World .

À propos de l?auteur

Jonathan Copeland studied law at University College London, and practised in the City of London for 25 years.

After leaving the law he was able to spend more time in Bali, researching all aspects of Balinese culture. The fruits of that research appear in this book. Ni Wayan Murni,is a legendary pioneer of Balinese tourism who participates in Balinese culture on a daily basis and plays in a gamelan group at important religious ceremonies.
