Water and Light - A Travel Journal of the Cambodian Mekong

Water and Light - A Travel Journal of the Cambodian Mekong

In 1929, Groslier set out by boat from Phnom Penh to inspect Buddhist pagodas along two-thousand kilometers of the Cambodian Mekong. He returned with rare photos and a 600-page journal filled with first-person impressions that he later distilled into this work.

Groslier's keen eye for detail,deep cultural understandings and rich love for Cambodia gives readers intimate,and often surprisingly candid, views of the people who inherited their art,history, customs and traditions from the great Khmer Empire that once ruled Southeast Asia.

This special color edition--prepared with the guidance of the author's daughter, Nicole Groslier Rea--is a celebration of Groslier's life and adventure. With a foreword by literary expert Henri Copin, this volume also includes: the first English translation of Groslier's account; more than70 illustrations, including the author's original photos; appendix articles by Paul Boudet, Paul Cravath, Kent Davis and Solang Uk; and the complete original French text.
