Relying on atmosphere and sensation over fact and statistic Christine Jordis has written a deeply personal vividly impressionistic account of several journeys to the Indonesian islands of Bali and Java. Dazzled wide-eyed but always astute Jordis describes famous monuments native dances encounters with locals. She conjures up the various literary and artistic figures who sought refuge and inspiration in Indonesia - Arthur Rimbaud Herman Melville Joseph Conrad - and brings ancient legends to life. From the heart of the lush tropical forests Jordis guides her readers through the technicolor paradise that makes Paris seem grey in comparison. Ultimately it is these very colours that infuse her life - and her readers' lives - with new meaning.
