Book Synopsis Javanese Wayang Kulit by : Edward C. Van Ness
Book excerpt: Perhaps no other culture has placed so much emphasis on a theatrical form as a medium of transmitting cultural values as the Javanee. Wayang Kulit--the shadow play performed with puppets--provides one of the oldest continuous traditions of storytelling in the region. This is the first account of the subject for the general reader, explaining its importance in the everyday life of the Javanese.
