La Ville au Bois dormant

About this book

In the early 20th century, as colonial powers shaped Southeast Asia, Montpensier embarked on a daring expedition from Saïgon to the ancient ruins of Ang-Kor. "La Ville au Bois dormant : De Saïgon à Ang-Kor en automobile" captures the essence of this transformative era through vivid descriptions and insightful observations. Readers are invited to explore the unique interplay between modernity and tradition, as Montpensier navigates the lush landscapes and rich cultures of Vietnam and Cambodia. This travel account is not just a journey through geography but also an exploration of the human spirit in the face of change. Ideal for students, historians, and civic activists, this work offers a compelling glimpse into a world on the brink of profound transformation.
