一部引人入胜、简明而全面的高棉古文明解读。

 

本书勾勒出整个亚洲大陆最辉煌且源远流长的文明之一的发展轨迹。通过叙事与影像的双重引导，读者将穿越六百年时光长河：从高棉文明的萌芽初期，到各部族在强权夹缝中蹒跚学步；从帝国的崛起诞生，到极盛辉煌与衰落沉寂。

 

这段征程交织着宏大的历史事件与传奇人物，更点缀着散落于柬埔寨及泰、老、越部分地区丛林田畴的建筑奇迹——这些沉睡数个世纪的瑰宝曾几乎被世界遗忘。本书既呈现经典学术观点，亦囊括最新研究成果，以凝练笔触剔除陈词滥调与浪漫想象，用清晰语言还原高棉历史文化的精髓。既有宏大叙事，亦穿插犀利洞见，为读者铺就一条通往吴哥秘境的知识蹊径。

 

A fascinating, concise and comprehensive description of ancient Khmer civilization.

 

The volume outlines the evolution and development of one of the most splendid and long-lived civilizations of the entire Asian continent. The narrative and related images in the volume guide the reader from the birth of the Khmer civilization, through the first uncertain steps amongst the small and restless Khmer tribes, forced to endure the rule of larger and stronger powers, to the birth of the empire and then to its glory and decadence.

 

A journey six centuries long, interspersed with great events and dramatic figures, but also with incredible architectural masterpieces scattered in the forests and countryside of Cambodia and parts of Thailand, Laos and Vietnam, structures for many centuries almost lost to memory. Presenting both the classic vision of this civilization and also the latest theories about it, this volume is aimed at those who wish to learn the essential facts of Khmer history and culture, stripped of platitudes and romantic visions, in clear language that both tells a story and includes incisive anecdotes.
