Paperback. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: no dj. Although Burma's dance styles were originally influenced by neighboring cultures and its theater forms by the staging of Buddhist stories and propitiation ceremonies of spirit cults, both genres developed distinctive forms in response to the country's rich cultural and religious mix and to changing political circumstances. The book traces the history of dance and theater in Burma in the courts and in the countryside, and describes the various dances, plays, and musical accompaniment that evolved as a result of changing tastes and the need to attract audiences. Drawing on hitherto unavailable Burmese sources, the author also presents a vivid picture of the little known and precarious world of the court entertainers and itinerant troupes and the leading personalities of the times.

Aggiungi al carrelloHard bound. Condizione: Near fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near fine. First Edition. In 1790, Badon Min, the sorcerer-king of Myanmar (Burma) embarked on a project to create the Mingun pagoda, which, if completed would have been higher than the Great Pyramid in Egypt. This tyrant and his sycophantic court inhabited an exotic and rigorously feudal world: Mi, the City of Immortals, where glittering ceremonials were a way of life. But beneath this ostensibly benign exterior lurked a nightmarish realm of sorcery, spells and death by ceremonial drowning. Adopted Hindu gods and indigenous spirits dominated the lives of everyone. The spin-doctors at court were unsurpassed, and spun fabulous tales regarding their Master of the Celestial Weapon who 'like unto the kings of the universe who governed the four great islands of the solar system were versed in charms and spells of fourteen descriptions.' And despite being the son of a peasant, he claimed descent from the Emperor Asoka of India no less. So deluded was he by his cronies in the occult arts, he even declared himself to be Maitreya the Merciful Buddha. Yet over a period of thirty-seven years, he was responsible for the death of thousands. Despite this some authors still portray him as an unblemished and oh-so-pious being. The author has delved into previously unavailable indigenous records and contemporary foreign accounts to produce a warts and all portrait of Badon Min, his achievements, murderous indiscretions and failures. And in the process has uncovered sex scandals and vital evidence that the impossibly ambitious Mingun project was never completed. The text is enriched with many illustrations by the author, together with other rare unpublished material, which brings to life the colorful reign of this extraordinarily volatile man and the personalities, who came into contact with him. 285 pp., illustrated, with 23 pp. illus. in col., 1 map. Slight shelfware; otherwise a new/unread copy. Size: 25 x 19 cm.

Arakan, in southwestern Myanmar (Burma) has long been neglected; its ancient monuments vandalized or incompetently renovated and its history whitewashed to present the image of a pure Theravada Buddhist state. However, at the beginning of the Common Era, the region was colonized by Hindu settlers who established a thriving kingdom, in which Brahmanism, Mahayana Buddhism and local cults coexisted. Within the court of Vaishali, the capital, Sanskrit was spoken and ceremonial life emulated that of its giant neighbor to the west. Today evidence of this Brahmanic presence has been almost eradicated by the present Rakhaing people; the author in this volume, brings to light the achievements of this now nearly forgotten Indianized kingdom. xi, 162 pp., over 120 col. and b&w photos and line drawings, 7 maps, bibliography.
