Description:
London: Curzon Press, 1983. Belief in the supernatural and its influence on, if not dominance of, the human condition is deeply entrenched in all southeast Asian cultures to the present day. This is particularly true in Thailand, despite its long engagement with Buddhism, a belief system that expressly denies such forces. In this in-depth treatise on the subject, Quaritch-Wales explores the impact of superstition, omens and divination on most aspects of Thai lives, from the year of birth, the meaning of physical characteristics, the choice of marriage, the design of home and grounds, the meaning of chance encounters, dreams and natural phenomena, and much more. A fascinating and detailed study. 22 x 14 cm.; xiii, 145 pp., 11 b&w plates, index. . First Edition. Hard bound. Fine/Near fine. 22 x 14 cm..
