Colossal and magnificent temples, huge
Buddha statues and impressive reliefs: The Khmer Empire
reveals himself as completely unique. From the
9th to the 15th century the Khmer ruled over large parts of the
present states of Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. They
developed their own religious and political beliefs and
brought forth extraordinary art and monuments, as for example the
world-famous Angkor Wat.
Stefano Vecchia describes the origin and development of one of the most magnificent and persistent civilizations of the Asian continent. With numerous illustrations of excellent quality, he takes the reader on a journey through six Centuries of Khmer culture.
