Synopsis
Angkor, the world's greatest concentration of religious monuments, is a celebration in stone of the divinities, myths and teachings of two great faiths, Hinduism and Buddhism. In sanctuaries, niches, on gallery walls, over doorways, and even in the sacred alignment of temple buildings, all is iconic, whether the stone linga representing Shiva's essence, the two thousand apsaras dancing on the walls of Angkor Wat, or the enigmatic stone faces of the Bayon. With the expert eye of one long familiar with these extraordinary temples, author-photorapher Michael Freeman, who has been closely involved with Angkor and Cambodia for many years and has published several books on the subject, explores their hidden beauty and symbolism.
