My Son Sanctuary.
NGUYEN VAN BINH. (EDITOR). Stock ID: 98647 Text in Vietnamese, English, and Japanese. Colour and black and white photographic illustrations, ribbon bookmark, 149pp, dustjacket, long octavo. For over 7 centuries, Champa People have constructed, sculptured, and carved the stages of their spiritual procedure in their kingdom. As such, the towers of My Son are considered a living historical book about the Champa Kingdom. In them we can recognise not only the magic of the gods but also the power of the human being in the universe. The power herein is the creative ability which is reflected in every design and relief of the towers. Looking at the holy valley from Dai Son Mountain, every tower looks like a fire and My Son is one huge holy fire. This fire has burnt for a thousand years and will burn forever.
