Assouline – In The Spirit Of Bali

Spiced aroma of frangipani, sweeping beaches, dramatic landscapes inhabited by beautiful people – these are the popular images of Bali, but the fabled island is also a magnet for celebrities, artists and eccentrics. Bali is experiencing a boom, sparking concerns about maintaining the island’s primeval balance.

Within In The Spirit of Bali, Isabella Ginanneschi and Duncan Murray Kirk explores the many facets of the mythical island, from the verdant topography and deeply rooted traditions and rituals, to the recent influx of bohemian expat artists and new age entrepreneurs, and concludes with a guide to resorts and villas, restaurants, temples, holistic resources and recreation.
