Book synopsis
Famous for its monuments (Angkor) and sculpture, ancient Cambodia is a remarkable example of a bilingual culture. Whether sculptors, architects, writers, theologians or sovereigns — Khmers have known, for countless centuries, how to draw upon Indian art forms and translate them into images (which was not the case in their original environment) and particularly how touse them to express their own myths and main concerns: water, serpents and the rainbow, the earth, the gods of their land and the temple-mountain, humankind, their portraits and a brand new kind of Pantheon. They thus forged a fully autonomous culture whose influence spread through most of Southeast Asia from their capitalof Angkor—the archetypal city—which was not only the source of political power but also of ideas and art forms.
