Book excerpt: Immense trésor artistique classé au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité par l'UNESCO en 1995, l'ancienne capitale du Laos est parfaitement conservée et n'a pas encore été touchée par notre modernisme. Elle a gardé sa douceur de vivre. Vincent Besançon est venu ici à plusieurs reprises pour dessiner dans ces lieux paisibles, enveloppés d'une profonde sérénité, et espère y revenir encore. Le site n'a rien de grandiose ou d'impressionnant, mais une harmonie profonde et spirituelle s'en dégage, qui saisit chacun. Francis Engelmann, qui a travaillé avec passion à la conservation de ce patrimoine, vit sur place depuis de nombreuses années.

Download or read book Inconvenient Heritage written by Lynne M Dearborn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major international recognition of a World Heritage Site designation can bring important preservation efforts and a wealth of tourist dollars to an impoverished area—but it can also have destructive side effects. In a revealing study with lessons for tourism and preservation projects around the world, this book examines the redevelopment and packaging of Luang Prabang, Laos, as one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites that “belong to all peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located.” It tells the story of how the world’s most prestigious preservation initiative led to a management plan designed to attract tourists and global capital, which in turn developed the most “appealing” parts of the city while destroying or neglecting other areas. This book makes a valuable contribution to tourism and heritage studies and international development.

On a New Year's Day, the life of the aristocratic young woman changed when she caught the eye of a sophisticated older man - Prince Souvanna Phouma. The prince fell madly in love with Kham-Phiou and was determined to marry her against all odds. His family wanted a marriage within the dynasty, while her widowed mother feared Palace intrigues. After the wedding, life in the prince's family home was difficult, but Kham-Phiou began to adapt until the prince decided they should move to Vientiane for the sake of his career. The tale of the tragic love story spans over half a century and is set against the little-known backdrop of old-world Laos where ancient customs and superstitions still held sway.In this charming and moving personal account incorporating the social history of Laos, Manisamouth, granddaughter of Kham-Phiou, brings her grandmother's untold story to life, accompanied by evocative black and white photographs, family trees of the Luang Prabang Royals and Kham-Phiou's lineage, and includes a section on Lao history.
