The Emerald Buddha is a historical fiction novel written by Joseph Bushnell Ames. The story is set in Thailand during the 15th century and revolves around the famous Emerald Buddha, a sacred statue that is believed to bring good fortune and prosperity to the country. The novel follows the journey of a young boy named Jao, who is chosen by the king to become the next guardian of the Emerald Buddha. Jao is trained by the current guardian, a wise old monk named Phra Sihing, and learns about the history and significance of the statue. However, Jao's world is turned upside down when a group of Burmese invaders attack the kingdom and steal the Emerald Buddha. Jao sets out on a dangerous mission to retrieve the statue and restore it to its rightful place in the kingdom. Along the way, he encounters various challenges and obstacles, including treacherous terrain, dangerous animals, and enemy soldiers. As Jao continues on his quest, he learns about the true meaning of courage, loyalty, and sacrifice. He also discovers the power of faith and the importance of preserving his country's cultural heritage. The Emerald Buddha is a thrilling adventure story that combines history, culture, and mythology. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Thai history or Asian culture in general.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
