A History of Cambodia
- 365pagine
- 13 ore di lettura
This clear and concise volume provides a timely overview of Cambodia, a small but increasingly visible Southeast Asian nation. Hailed by the Journal of Asian Studies as an “original contribution, superior to any other existing work,” the first edition ended in 1953 with Cambodia's independence from France; the second carries the narrative forward to the present. In the new material, Chandler focuses especially on the unstable but influential career of Prince Norodom Sihanouk, the bloody reign of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge, and the relative calm that followed the Vietnamese invasion of 1979. This comprehensive general description and analysis of Cambodia will illuminate—for specialists and general readers alike—the history and contemporary politics of a country long misunderstood.

In Cambodia's recent, tragic past, no figure looms larger or more ominously than that of Pol Pot. Yet information about his life and career is largely inaccessible. In this first book-length study of the man, the historian David P. Chandler casts light on the shadowy figure of Pol Pot, illuminating the ideas and behavior of this enigmatic man and his entourage against the background of post-World War II events, providing a key to understanding this horrific, pivotal period of Cambodian history. In this revised edition, Chandler provides new information on the state of Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge following the death of Pol Pot in 1997.

L'antre des voleurs
L'Antre des voleurs. Les sept lames 1
Dans les bas-fonds de la redoutable Cité Libre de Ness, Malden a survécu en devenant un voleur doué. Son bien le plus précieux reste pourtant son indépendance. Jusqu'à ce qu'il tombe sous l'emprise du maître tout-puissant d'une impitoyable guilde de voleurs... S'il veut retrouver sa liberté, Malden doit accomplir pour lui une mission improbable. Il lui faut voler la fameuse couronne du burgrave, protégée par de terrifiants démons, bien décidés à dévorer l'âme de tout intrus trop audacieux. Rejoint par un chevalier rebelle et une mystérieuse fille aux tatouages vivants, Malden est loin d'imaginer que, s'il s'en sort, ce ne sera que la première épreuve...
