Book Description:
This massive and comprehensive volume is the culminating publishing event of the author's lengthy and meticulous researches into Khmer mythology, its messages and meanings. From around 800 to 1300, the Khmer empire stretched across a vast portion of mainland Southeast Asia; its powerful rulers built magnificent temples to glorify their reigns, and adorned them with carved stone work of immense size, complexity, and artistry. In statuary, myriad pediments and lintels, and many miles of bas-relief walls were portrayed the lives and legends of Hindu gods, adopted and transformed from Indian sources, and Buddhist themes. Professor Roveda has previously published on the motifs and mythology of the Khmer stonework in the Angkor area; this monumental volume incorporates that work as well as his researches on Khmer monuments flung across Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos. The book is illustrated with over 800 color plates, and is accompanied by a CD that presents an additional 1000 images. The work is an indispensible tool for anyone engaged in the study of Khmer art and civilization.
