Project Gutenberg 2004-10-10 Public domain in the USA. 115 Miramon-Fargues, Vicomte de Bij de ruïnen van Angkor De Aarde en haar Volken, 1906 Produced by Jeroen Hellingman and the Distributed Proofreaders Team "Bij de ruïnen van Angkor" by Vicomte de Miramon-Fargues is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book chronicles a journey through Cambodia, particularly focusing on the exploration of the ancient ruins of Angkor. It reflects on the cultural and architectural grandeur of the Khmer civilization and the poignant decline of its heritage. In this narrative, the author recounts his expedition from Saigon to Phnom Penh and ultimately to the magnificent temples of Angkor. Accompanied by his wife and other travelers, he describes the journey filled with both excitement and disappointment, as they traverse through landscapes that alternate between beauty and desolation. The text vividly portrays the splendor of Angkor Wat and other temples, lush tropical surroundings, and the inherent sorrow of witnessing a once-thriving civilization now in ruin. With a mix of admiration and melancholy, the author reflects on the historical significance of the site, the cultural heritage of the Khmer people, and the lasting impact of colonialism, concluding with an encounter with contemporary Cambodian royalty, which underscores the stark contrast between the past glory and present realities.
