Here, Walter Mason charts an affectionate, intimate, and deeply personal look at a Kingdom that has drawn him back again and again since his youth. Whether he's watching young monks recite the Buddha's life stories, visiting shamans and fortune tellers, or discovering the darker alleys of Phnom Penh with a romantic novelist and a world-weary street hustler, Walter takes the reader straight to the heart of this famously unknowable country. As heat, dust, and weariness take their toll, he remains alive to the charms, and even seductions, of a place that was once a byword for misery and human suffering. This book takes readers on a joyful and constantly fascinating literary journey in which Cambodia is vibrant and its people excited about the future, while never denying their haunted past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cambodia, Description and travel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allen \u0026amp; Unwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781742376622\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mason, Walter","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £14.29","offer_id":48043997397169,"sku":"SB-1742376622-C3","price":14.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1742376622.jpg?v=1792113282","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/destination-cambodia-adventures-in-the-kingdom","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
