[ED: Hardcover/gebunden], [PU: Kiscadale Publications], sehr guter Zustand, incl. Umschlag with 56 colour plates Burma, since 1989 renamed Myanmar, is a deeply Buddhist country which a magnificent cultura heritage. For three decades Burma wa a hermit amongst nations and few foreigners were granted access. In 1986 Burma momentarily relaxed her borders and Paul Strachan, an art historian, was allowed a year's visa to study and trave. there. Based at a Buddhist monastery in the old capital of Mandalay, he moved extensively, often by boat, throughout Upper Burma and to the Arakan. In many cases Paul Strachan was the first foreigner people had seen since the Second World War. "Mandalay" describes life in the old capital that remains the spiritual heart of Burma, and a number of intrepid journeys he made when he nearly alsways stayed at the local Buddhist monastery. His informative descriptions of Buddhist life highlight the great variety and richness of traditions found in Burma. In addition to describing a vibrant Buddhist culture "Mandalay" tells of a warm and generous people, as yet untrammelled by Western materiaslism, as proud of their heritage as tehy are pious in faith. At times humorous, ata others illuminating, "Mandalay" represents a personal anatomy of this intriguing land. The text is accompanied by 56 evocative colour plates, taken by the author, that do much to capture the essence of Upper Burma.
