About this title: This book describes the island of Bali and the Balinese. It considers the spirit of the dance, theatre, music, arts and sports of Bali, as well as its religion, sexual customs, family life and economic and political organization. Beginning with a picture of Bali as the casual tourist sees it compared with what it actually is, Covarrubias leads the reader deeper into the life of the island, its history and beliefs.
