Description
Following the great success of Khmer Mythology, which examined the relief carvings of Angkor Wat and other temples from the point of view of the stories they tell, Vittorio Roveda returns to Angkor Wat to focus on depth on the extraordinary wealth of information contained in the almost 1,000 square metres of magnificent bas reliefs, the corner pavilions and the pediments. In conjunction with photographs by Jaroslav Poncar, Roveda reveals the iconographic intricacies of this awe-inspiring temple as never before.
