More than 160 colour photographs and an evocative text paint a luminous picture of this enthralling isle, with its unique blend of ancient animism and Hinduism. How Bali and its people came about is a story rooted as much in historical facts as it is in myths and legends. This captivating book is comprised of six illuminating sections, each emphasising a different theme or focus: Birth of Bali (history, geography, location); The Urban Landscape (urban scenes of Bali); Trouble in Paradise (Bombings and recovery); Spa Culture (Spas and Resorts); Life Amid the Rice Terraces (village life, rites of passage); Mystical Bali (offerings, religious festivals); All of Bali's a Stage (music and dance); and Art and Life Intertwined (arts, crafts and architecture). A final section presents a selection of paintings by Bali artists.
