The Friendly Ghosts: Stories from Laos - Paperback

by Martina Sylvia Khamphasith (Author)

Spirits want to be respected and spoilt with attention. If they are, their protection is assured. Woe to those who neglect or mistreat them ... The author describes in her stories the fragile balance between the world of spirits and reality, external and internal existence, tradition and modernity. Maintaining a balance is a key to luck and harmony. If it is disturbed, misery is not far behind. These modern stories challenge the reader to draw lessons for ensuring personal good fortune.
