The first chapter of the book sets out the historical framework of the Khmer empire and explores the various aspects of its civilisation, from the Indian-influenced court to the people of the rice paddies. It describes the Khmer's religious concepts, most important myths, and the structure of society, dominated by the powerful figure of the sovereign who, being at the centre of the water-management system, guaranteed the survival of his people. The book continues with details concerning the everyday life of the people, their houses, customs, traditions, and most important ceremonies. An ample section of text is dedicated to archaeological excursions.
