Description:
Four Reigns by Kukrit Pramoj, Translated by Tulachandra
Kukrit Pramoj's longest book follows the lives and the families of minor courtiers from the absolute monarchy of the closing years of the last century to the Allied bombing raids on Bangkok in mid-1940's. Anyone interested in Thailand will find this an intriguing tale.
M.R. Kukrit Pramoj (1911-1995) was a phenomenon. He achieved distinction in the fields of politics, classical dance drama, and literature, while also even appearing in the Hollywood version of The Ugly American playing opposite Marlon Brando.
Among his most popular books, originally serialised in his column in Siam Rath, are his "capitalist version" of the Chinese classic of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, along with his equally astute adaptation to a Thai village setting, Phai Daeng ( Red Bamboo ), of that classic comedy of the cold war era The Little World of Don Camillo by Giovanni Guareschi.
