Edition originale
Hard bound, decorative boards. Etat : New. First Edition. For more than a thousand years, the Khmer royal family nurtured a dance style unique to their Asian kingdom. Spiritually, their graceful dancers embodied the essence of the Khmer race, balancing masculine and feminine forces of the universe to ritually recreate the mystical origins of their land. Aside from a living tradition all but destroyed in the Cambodian revolution of the mid seventies, the only remaining record of this art form is in stone reliefs on a few Khmer temples, most notably Angkor Wat. For a relatively brief period in 1975, prior to the fall of Phnom Penh to the merderous Khmer Rouge, the author had unprecedented access to royal dancers, trainers and archives; he barely escaped the ensuing deluge with the notes that eventually led to his doctoral thesis, on which the present book is based. Draqwing on unique access to primary sources and some 10 years susequent research, this is an essential work for all with interest in Khmer art and culture, and SE Asian dance in particular. Highly recommended. xxx, 514 pp, 183 b&w illustrations, notes, appendices, extensive bibliography, index. A new/unread copy. Size: 26 x 18 cm.
