Worths the price.
10 April 2000
Format:Hardcover
For those who have been there or those who are planning to go this book is a must. It's amazing how publishers are able to realize author's and reader's dreams when they want to. Here you will find: schematic drawings, historical background, maps, breathtaking pictures and all the symbolism associated with this cosmic mandala. "The architectural traditions of India and Java"; "The mystery of the hidden base"; "The mudras or gestures of the hands"; "Borobudur as a pilgrimage site"; "The indonesian Cult of Ancestors"; "The sacred texts behind the reliefs" etc. are just some of the contents. The appendix brings little black and white photographs of hundreds of reliefs. Almost as a buddhist comic-strip. I hope Angkor and Bagan could get a devoted tribute like this one.
the definitive volume

For those enthralled by the beauty of Borobudur, this is the definitive text. The pictures are unbelievable. The writing is excellent. It is rare to find such exquisite books these days. A work of art.
