Indonesia

Consisting of more than thirteen thousand islands, Indonesia is a country of natural wonders and idyllic landscapes. Its history spans over two thousand turbulent, yet glorious, years. From soaring volcanic peaks to lush farmlands, from the haunting strains of gamelan music to the hypnotic power of the legong, and from the peaceful island paradise of Bali to the politically volatile territory of East Timor, this book traces the legacy of a culturally diverse people on the road to a new political future.
