Produktinformationen zu „The King's Last Song (ePub)“

The glory of ancient Angkor Wat, the beauty and tragedy of Cambodia today...

In the shadow of Angkor Wat archaeologists make an astonishing discovery: the memoir of Cambodia's greatest king, preserved on leaves of gold for centuries. When the treasure is stolen, two ordinary Cambodians, a young moto-boy and a middle-aged ex-Khmer Rouge, join forces to recover it. But the spectre of Cambodia's violent past threatens both their fragile relationship and the success of their quest.

'Ancient history is still at work in Geoff Ryman's sweeping and beautiful portrait of Cambodia ... every character in the swarm has a distinct face and voice, and the complex story tears the veil from a hidden world.' The Times

'In Geoff Ryman's novels, everyone is important. The King's Last Song tells us about Jayavarman, the Khmer king who gave up the pursuit of sainthood to unify his country, but also about William and Map, two guides to the wreckage of modern Cambodia ... a marvellous book about the making of souls.' Time Out

'Inordinately readable ... The King's Last Song portrays two different Cambodias, separated by 800 years, yet hauntingly interconnected ... its leavening of invention with compassion is as good as it gets.' Justin Wintle, Independent
