"The tale of it is incredible; the wonder which is Angkor is
unmatched in Asia." So begins Helen Churchill Candee's classic tale
of Asian adventure. Today, readers can again experience the mystery
of Cambodia's vast jungle temples through her eyes. Although Helen
Candee is best known for surviving the sinking of the RMS Titanic,
she walked with kings, presidents, the wealthy and the powerful.
entertaining, educating and influencing them. This independent
woman championed feminine equality and fought tirelessly for
woman's rights. And, as a single woman, she traveled the Far East
with a keen eye for detail, an inquisitive mind, and a sensitivity
for local culture. Helen Candee's travelogue remains one of the
most evocative English language accounts of the ancient Khmer
capital. This expanded hardcover edition marks the first reissue of
her complete 1924 work with more than 100 antique illustrations, an
index and bibliography. For the first time in print, this edition
also features an original biography of Helen Candee by historian
Randy Bryan Bigham, and a reprint of Candee's original account of
the Titanic disaster itself.
