The myths and legends of the Khmers displayed in low reliefs in all the major temples in Cambodia, Thailand and Laos are examined in depth and richly illustrated in this authoritative volume by author Vittorio Roveda. Stories of the gods and human actors in the great epics of the Mahabharata, Ramayana and the Puranas are brought to life in greater detail than ever before. A new emphasis is given to Buddhist visual narratives of the life of the Buddha and the Jatakas. In addition, unusual animal and humanoid creatures on the cusp between myth and fantasy, are illustrated.
