The Spirit of Asia
Journeys to the Sacred Places of the East
Photographs by Michael Freeman
Text by Alistair Shearer
|
Through the amazing odyssey undertaken by the photographer Michael Freeman across the Indian subcontinent and eastern Asia, the extraordinarily numinous power of their sacred places is captured with rare power and sympathy.
Here are the great natural sites, from the Sagaing hills of Myanmar to the sacred mountain Agung in Bali. Here, too, are the great temple complexes of Angkor and Borobudur, and the intimate Shintoist shrines of Japan. The photographs are organized as journeys that reflect the historical spread of Eastern religions, yet each will feel to the reader like a personal quest.
