Download or read book The Java Enigma written by Erni Salleh and published by Epigram Books. This book was released on 2020 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2020 Epigram Books Fiction Prize After missing her father’s funeral, Irin Omar finds her orderly librarian life with the Borobudur restoration project turned upside down as she inherits a safe deposit box containing an unknown item as part of her father’s will. Chasing answers across Asia and Europe, her historical knowledge and love for her father persists as she tries to uncover some of the archipelago’s biggest hidden secrets while discovering a few familial skeletons of her own. Reader Reviews: "A well-written, a kind of Southeast Asian Da Vinci Code-type mystery … with a degree of scholarly detail all through the narrative." — Professor Rajeev S. Patke, director of the Division of Humanities at Yale-NUS College "The Java Enigma presents itself as a rather singular literary work for its boldness in putting Southeast Asian history at the fore, certainly able to spur new interest in readers that pick this book up." —bakchormeeboy "With so much colourful and eclectic history on Singapore's doorstep, I have often wondered why a code-cracking historical adventure hasn't been written about the region. Finally, The Java Enigma has plugged the gap. With a splash of Dan Brown and a quirky dash of Indiana Jones, Erni Salleh has written a globe-trotting, treasure-hunting thriller that is a fascinating read from start to finish.” —Neil Humphreys, bestselling author of Marina Bay Sins “A riveting read of archaeological and historical mystery. The Java Enigma takes you on a journey across Southeast Asia and into the hidden depths of the monuments, languages and cultures of the Old Malay World—all while unravelling the inherent interconnections in and among them, and in a way, among us all.” —Nuraliah Norasid, award-winning author of The Gatekeeper
Download or read book Borobudur written by John N. Miksic and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 1990 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This glorious ninth-century Buddhist monument - the largest Buddhist monument in the world - stands in the midst of the lush Kedu plain of central Java in Indonesia, where it is visited annually by over a million people. Borobudur consists of over a thousand exquisite relief sculptures extending along its many terraces for a total distance of more than a mile. The monument is constructed to symbolically represent the pilgrimage to enlightenment. The visitor ascends Borobudur, past scenes depicting the world of desire, through the life story of the Buddha and the heroic deeds of other famous enlightened beings, finally arriving at the great circular terraces at the very top of the structure, symbolizing the formless world of emptiness and the attainment of enlightenment. With over eighty color photographs and an informative text, this book celebrates the art and architecture of this famous Buddhist monument. This is the first volume to be published since the ten-year restoration and reconstruction of Borobudur was completed in 1985. In addition to illuminating the archaeological history, religious symbolism, and cultural context of the monument, it presents a detailed description of the sculptured panels and their significance in Buddhist history and philosophy. This book not only provides a scholarly introduction to Borobudur and its historical context, but it also retells - in text and stunning color photographs - the major stories illustrated in the hundreds of bas-relief panels that rank among the masterpieces of Asian and Buddhist art." --

Download or read book Ladies of the Borobudur written by Barbara Haines Howett and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2006-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A MARRIAGE ENDS TO PRESERVE A LOVE, AN INFANT CRUSHES A PROUD SPIRIT, PERFECTIONISM LEADS TO A CHILLING CONCLUSION. For the wives of American oil industry workers living in the insulated opulence of Jakarta's Hotel Borobudur in 1976, the problems are many; and for the Indonesians who get to know them, the puzzlements are life-altering. In the hot house of culture shock, fears and conflicts can change lives in unexpected ways. Just as the shadow plays of Indonesia reveal new facets of old stories in each performance, so too the characters in this rich collection of interrelated stories discover new strengths and old weaknesses. PRAISE FOR LADIES OF THE BOROBUDUR "Barbara Haines Howett writes with the passion and grace of one who has traveled deep into other realms of perception and brought back a precious gift--her cycle of stories, Ladies of the Borobudur. It is a realm fraught with mystery and wonder. I was amazed and enthralled by the range of emotion." Don Williams, Editor and publisher of New Millenium Writings "A dazzling mosaic of interwoven stories that reflects a now-vanished world. The reader will remember these hau;nting women and their tales long after the lights go on and the shadows return to the dark." Ruth Knafo Setton, author of The Road to Fez "Howett explores and evokes astonishingly different points of view, and her post-colonial sense of irony is bracing." DeWitt Henry, author of The Marriage of Anna Maye Potts
