Tum Teav English Translation

For those who have not read Tum Teav in Khmer, there is an English translation by a American. It is a very beautiful translation. I read it and loved it. Tum Teav written in the 19th century based on a true story. It is considered one of the earliest written Khmer classical literature. It comes in the middle of Khmer transition from oral to written and classic to contemporary of today.

SBK Production made this novel into a movie, though they did pretty good job, it is nothing compare to the word for word original poem of the story, so don't forget to read
