Item description from seller

Reprint of the 1958 first edition. The author, Harold Forster spent four years in Jogjakarta, the sanctuary of Java's ancient traditions, the capital of her sultans, and the cradle of Indonesia's newly-gained independence. This colourful commentary on the political, cultural, and social life of early 1950s Java studies the institutions of its mixed heritage, as well as delighting in its towns and cities, temples and palaces, crafts and countryside, dance forms and puppet drama. A holiday took them to Bali where theyfound a demi-paradise, where every craft was an art and every man an artist. New, never previously owned or read copy, still in shrinkwrap. xiv, 281 pp., 34 b&w photos, index. Size: 21 x 13 cm.
