This si one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. It is about Cambodia and revolves around the discovery of ancient manuscript written by
Jayavarman who was the Khmer king who built Angkor Wat. There are 3 stories which are the story of Jayavarman, the kidnapping of archaeologist and also the manuscript by ex-Khmer Rouge terrorists, and the story of another ex-KR and motoboy who try to get the archaeologist and book back. There is a great amount of history about the terrible genocide of Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot and also the history of Angkor empire, which include the best written battle scenes I ever read.
