Chargement... Temple of a Thousand Faces (2013)par John Shors
   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) markjosephjochim | Mar 10, 2024 |  This is a historical novel covering Cambodia in the 12th century. Fact was that Cham King Indravarman did invade the Khmer's land and Prince Jayavar did escape and eventually retook his land. The details of the story are lost and John Shors jumps in and fills the gaps. The dialogue was a little over the top ... and the protagonists overly heroic. None of three main story lines particularly connected with me. I was more connected with the plot and with colorful description. I was expecting to hear more about the building of Angkor Wat, rather than the (relatively) immediate years afterward. Still, I liked learning more about a culture I had zero knowledge before. Bonus points for the author rating his own book on good reads.

"When his land is taken by force, Prince Jayavar of the Khmer people narrowly escapes death at the hands of the conquering Cham king, Indravarman. Exiled from their homeland, he and his mystical wife, Ajadevi, set up a secret camp in the jungle with the intention of amassing an army bold enough to reclaim their kingdom and free their people. Meanwhile, Indravarman rules with an iron fist, pitting even his most trusted men against one another and squashing any hint of rebellion. Moving from a poor fisherman's family whose sons find the courage to take up arms against their oppressors, to a beautiful bride who becomes a prize of war, to an ambitious warrior whose allegiance is torn, Temple of a Thousand Faces is an unforgettable saga on a grand scale, set against one of the world's most awe-inspiring creations"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
