Synopsis:
This handsome book captures fascinating images of the Shwedagon Pagoda, and the bustle of Rangoon, the grandeur of the Irrawaddy, the fragrance of Inle Lake. A chapter on Pagan - the lost city of over two thousand staggeringly impressive monuments - embodies Burma's golden age.
Whenever the visitor turns in Burma, since 1989 renamed Myanmar, he cannot but be met by the all pervasive presence of the Buddhist faith, whether a pagoda or image, monk or precession. Here a rich and varied landscape plays host to a fun-loving colourful people, ever mindful of millenia of manners and custom, culture and tradition. The devotional quiet of the pilgrim centre at Saigang reveals contemporary Buddhism.
Includes 112 colour illustrations. |
