Trade Paperback. Condizione: Fine. First Edition. Silkworm Books, 1999. Trade Paperback. First Edition. Fine. Interior pristine. Spine straight, tight and uncreased. Covers clean and bright. Very slight corner wear. Not from a library. No remainder mark. xi + 313 pages. lg 8vo. ill., maps. The first comprehensive social and cultural study of Laos in forty years. Laos stands at the center of mainland Southeast Asia. It shares borders with all the main states in the region including China, so that when one touches on Laos, one touches the heart of the region. Any study of culture and society in Laos inevitably leads into broader issues associated with all the surrounding societies and cultures concerning their origins and contemporary developments. While all the essays in this volume take Laos as their focal point they raise issues which overflow the boundaries of the Lao state. They focus on the creation of the idea of Laos and its culture, whether it be through literature, tourism, or the activities of nationalists, thereby contributing to more general debates on the nature of Southeast Asian nationalism. They look at questions of minorities in Laos and issues of ethnic change. And they look at Laos in its regional context, and at Lao businessmen in their new global context.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardback. Condizione: New. The Vessantara Jataka is the tale of Buddha's last life, before he was reborn as the historical Buddha 2,500 years ago. In this earlier existence as Prince Vessantara he demonstrated evidence of the highest virtue that constitutes an enlightened man: generosity. Vessantara gave away everything dear to him - in the climactic scene of the story, even his wife and children. In North-East Thailand the Vessantara tale is celebrated annually as Bun Phra Wet. Pha Phra Wet - 'Vessantara cloths' - form the visual framework for this festival; they are hand-painted scrolls, which can reach lengths of up to one hundred metres. Devotion presents, for the very first time, a selection of six full-length Vessantara scrolls and explores a contemporary multimedia celebration of an ancient Buddhist text.
