Edges and dustjacket lighltly browned, very good hardback copy. 31 x 23.5cm. Drawing on the vast and fascinating literature on Bali, from ancient texts to most recent researches, as well as on his own considerable experience of the country, Rudolf Mrazek shows that religion has always been implicated in every moment of the Balinese peasant's existence. Bedrich Forman's chapter shows how Balinese collaboration with nature has resulted in works of art uniquely combining function and beauty. And Werner Forman's beautiful photographs are themselves visual statements of the harmony in which the Balinese live with one another, their land, and their gods. (publisher's description)- $20
