The Khmer civilization centered on Angkor was one of the most
remarkable to flourish in Southeast Asia. Between the 8th and the
13th centuries, a succession of Hindu and Buddhist kings created
magnificent temples in stone. Their elaborate carvings and
intricate architecture amazed the first Europeans who visited in
the 19th century and continue to fascinate today, when after many
years of political turmoil, Angkor is once again accessible. The
renowned French scholar, Claude Jacques, has studied Angkor and its
history for the past 30 years, while Michael Freeman has made many
photographic trips there during a 15 year period. Ancient Angkor
embodies the fruits of their collaboration and includes the results
of new research and discoveries made during recent excavations.
Detailed plans and descriptions unravel the complex reliefs of
Angkor Wat and the Bayon, while small but interesting temples not
covered in other books are also described. Grouping the temples
into easy-to-visit itineraries, and with useful hotel and travel
information, Ancient Angkor will serve both as a history of the
temples in its own right and an invaluable companion guide.
