The Library gathers the written works of Lucas Varro — journals of the temples, meditations on myth, and volumes of shadow and silence. Here words stand beside images as offerings: essays, retellings, and field notes from Angkor and beyond.
Within these shelves you will find many rooms — journals of Angkor, mythic retellings, meditations on apsaras, and essays on the meaning of sacred stone. Wander chronologically, or enter by theme.
