Details of "The Royal Palace of Phnom Penh and Cambodian Royal Life by Julio"Date Submitted:
10/12/06 (Edited 10/12/06)
Description:
While Angkor Wat is known the world over, little is known about the Royal Palace of Phnom Penh. Here's the first book that brings into focus the long-overlooked Gem of Cambodia. After two years of painstaking research, Julio A. Jeldres finally pieced together fragments of information surrounding King Sihanouk's ancestral home. Weaving them into a fascinating book, the author highlights the striking features of Khmer architecture, the underpinning religious beliefs and the prevailing Western influence that blend into the royal residence. Most interestingly, he sheds light on the little-known Cambodian Court life... the Coronation ceremony... the Royal Cambodian Ballet... and the royal effort to preserve their ancient arts and traditions.
