Sobre este artículo
Singapore: Oxford University Press, 1991. In the early 1930s, Geoffrey Gorer went on a three months' trip to Sumatra, Java, Bali, Thailand, and Cambodia. The resulting travelogue, an exciting record, can be read today with great enjoyment and interest. Though recent travel writing about South-East Asia may contain more practical information, what Bali and Angkor lacks in this respect is more than made up for by Gorer's considerable powers of observation and his interest in interpreting the role that art and religion play in the life of the Balinese and the Khmers. His writing also has great style. If it is correct that genuine travel has become a lost art, one of the best ways to experience it vicariously would be to read this volume. Includes interesting appendices on modern painting and the use of mescaline. 240 pp., 39 b&w plates. Light shelf soiling but otherwise a clean, unread copy.. Reprint. Soft Cover. Very Good. 20 x 13 cm..
