Bali in the early 1930s, set down by a Mexican painter who lived there for months at a stretch and drew everything he saw: temples, dancers, markets, and the long quiet hours in between.

Island of Bali is Miguel Covarrubias's account of Balinese life as he found it - the co-operative village and the calendar that runs it, caste and the two levels of speech that go with it, the rice fields and the water that feeds them, birth, marriage and cremation, and the gamelan orchestras and dance dramas that seemed to involve the whole population.
