About Bali

Covarrubias, Miguel, Island of Bali
1937

From the back cover of the 1999 edition:

First published in 1937, this book is still regarded by many as the most authoritative text on Bali and its fascinating people. Included is a wealth of information on the daily life, art, customs and religion of this magical "Island of the Gods".

The author, a noted painter and caricaturist, was also a student of anthropology.

This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in this unique island, general readers and serious anthropologist alike. Complementing the text are 90 drawings by Covarrubias and countless others by Balinese artists. Also included are 114 half-tone photographs and five full-color paintings by the author.





Everything outside of yourself and the range of conciousness doesn't exist. It's an abstraction, a fantasy, so you tune in on yourself and you tune in on the world.

-- Gridley Wright
