This is the first Khmer novel, by Rim Kin, written in the early 1940s. It has been retyped and heavily annotated (and supplemented with original photographs taken at sites referred to in the novel) with vocabulary, grammar, and culture explanations and student exercises. It has been used in Intermediate Khmer instruction at SEASSI and the University of California-Berkeley. It assumes an Intermediate level knowledge of written Khmer equivalent with at least three semesters of university-level Khmer language study.
