Download or read book Isan Writers Thai Literature written by Martin B. Platt and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regional characteristics and regional language feature prominently in discussions of Thai identity, but there is little mention of regional literatures. In northeastern Thailand's Isan region, authors write primarily in Thai, but it is possible nonetheless to identify an Isan literature, which played a significant and at times pivotal role in the development of Thai literature in the second half of the twentieth century, as authors grappled with how their origins and experiences related to the Thai centre. Martin Platt's account of Isan literature is an important first step toward a broader study of regional literatures in Thailand, and shapes a model that has relevance for examining literary works in other Asian countries.

Book excerpt: Sensuous, exotic, and incredibly diverse, the Indonesian archipelago stretches for more than 5,000 km (3,200 miles) along the equator. Like lumps of rough-hewn jade on a velvet field of blue, its 13,600 islands have captured the imagination of travelers for centuries. Redolent of romance and the scent of drying cloves, Indonesia is the largest country in Southeast Asia. But one need not travel far to experience Indonesia's diversity. Tea plantations blanketing the slops of dormant volcanoes are only a few hours drive from coastal waters where lanteen-rigged prahus set sail much as they did centuries ago when the first Arabian traders arrived. As you page through "Traveler's Indonesia Companion", you will travel deep into a country of colorful contrast where temple cities bear silent witness to the greatness of vanished civilizations and costumed rituals dating back hundreds of years proceed amid the distant roar of jet aircraft. In the "Traveler's Indonesia Companion", the authors explore this vast archipelago from the riverine jungles of Borneo and the Dutch canals of old Batavia to the mist-shrouded mountain valleys of Irian Jaya where stone age tribes barely a generation removed from head-hunting still pursue a life of subsistence farming. Whether you are dreaming from an armchair or booking your flight, the Traveler's Indonesia Companion guides deliver the best information and guidance for exploring this breathtaking destination.
