书籍介绍
The Khmer civilization centred on Angkor was one of the most remarkable to flourish in Southeast Asia. Between the 8th and the 13th centuries, a succession of Hindu and Buddhist kings created magnificent temples in stone. Their elaborate carvings and intricate architecture amazed the first Europeans who visited in the 19th century and continue to fascinate today, when after many years of political turmoil, Angkor is once again accessible. The renowned French scholar Claude Jacques has studied Angkor and its history for the past 30 years, while Michael Freeman has made many photographic trips there during a 15-year period; Ancient Angkor embodies the fruits of their collaboration and includes the results of new research and discoveries made during recent excavations. Detailed plans and descriptions unravel the complex reliefs of Angkor Wat and the Bayon, while small but interesting temples not covered in other books are also described. Grouping the temples into easy-to-visit itineraries, and with useful hotel and travel information, Ancient Angkor will serve both as a history of the temples in its own right and an invaluable companion guide.

适合旅游带~
如果只能买一本关于吴哥的书。
我的那一本，送给了一个很重要的人。
如果你去吴哥又不想请导游的话，这真的是一本好书。
吴哥窟访前必修，图文并茂，极度舒适的阅读体验。
同在Siam的某个角落买的，当时被封面吸引了。前不久重翻，放在窗台被夜里的雨打湿泡发了，难过～印刷精美，内容也不错～
去吴哥前必读，图文并茂，讲得非常精细。还特别提到了诸多可以和元代《真腊风土记》相印证的景观。吴哥浮雕上出现的高棉人和占人都在打仗，中国人则是在讨价还价做饭赌博，真是自古以来都富有生活气息的民族。
