For hundreds of years Bali has fascinated and charmed newcomers, just as it captivated the English watercolour artist Graham Byfield when he first visited the island. Following the Balinese view of the tripartite nature of things, explained in the introduction, the book is divided into three parts. The World of Origins tours the mountains and lakes, with the temples and villages among them, while The Hand-Made World takes us through agriculture, architecture, art, handicrafts and markets. The Sea Coast, the final part, explores the traditional fishing villages and modern beach resorts, contrasting the old way of life and the new. Bali resident, Diana Darling has written many features and contributed to several books about the island. A practising artist in her own right, Diana was Graham Byfield’s guide to Bali’s highly refined aesthetic, complex society and its wealth of historical sites.
