Borobudur in Central Java is the world's largest Buddhist temple. For over 1,000 years the aweinspiring structure lay deserted in the jungle. No one knows exactly who built it or when, why it was suddenly abandoned just before completion and why did it remain hidden for so long? This book--like Raffles--seeks to solve the mystery of Borobudur. This book is a real surprise--a fantastic account of the infamous Raffles and his discovery of the great temple in Java.
