Acknowledgment

a book about the life and traditions of the far-away island of Bali naturally involves in its preparation the cooperation of many companions on the island as well as scholars, translators, artists, and the makers of other books. I am grateful to all of themtoo many to mention here. I am particularly indebted to Walter Spies and my many Balinese friends, especially my host, Gusti Alit Oka, and his family; to Edith J. R. Isaacs, who so patiently and sympathetically criticized and edited the manuscript; to Maimai Sze for invaluable assistance in the final preparation of the book; and to the Guggenheim Award which enabled me to make a second trip to Bali to complete and check my material. Rose Covarrubias cooperation speaks for itself in the photographs which are so essential a part of the book.
