Adam Milan washes up on the coast of Bali after being forced off a yacht at gunpoint by a psychotic captain. He is taken in by Anak, a Balinese hotel owner and healer. During his recuperation Adam is reported drowned by the media and he sees this as an opportunity for a fresh start in life. Assuming a new identity, Adam takes a job at Anak’s hotel and gradually rebuilds his life while experiencing all that the Island of the Gods has to offer. Things take a sinister turn, however, when he becomes entangled in a world of drug dealers, and when a friend is arrested with ten kilos of cocaine Adam is forced to help him escape from Bali’s notorious Kerobokan prison, or ‘Hotel K’. Shaman of Bali offers a riveting insight into a world of drug smuggling, cockfighting, bribery and imprisonment, flavoured with shamanic rituals and Balinese mysticism. Based on the experiences of the author, this powerful crime thriller does for Bali what Shantaram did for Bombay.

What a tumultuous mess we are in. Yes, you, me, our world. Most of us on this planet (our home) are confused, muddled, puzzled, mystified, unruly, anarchic, disorderly, and for some, lawless. Where in the name of all that is holy is the heart and soul of who we are as a species? We have been gifted with life on a blue planet that spins and gives us existence and still we are not satisfied or content. We quest for more. More money, more power, more control, more influence, more junk in our trunks, more stuff. We are a mess and have helped make an abyss of darkness on this heaven on earth—our Earth. There is only one Earth and because we have helped destroy it, tree by tree, city by city, person by person we are now looking at how we can find a home on Mars. What the hell? Why not find the tools to clean up this home? How do we do that? There are many systems, tools, traditions, structures and methods. You are reading this book because I have found one that works. Journey with me now , Into The Heart of Bali “.

"The best book on Bali for the serious visitor…Has the freshness of personal experience."--Dr. Hildred Geertz, author of Kinship in Bali and Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University In Bali, what you see--sekala--is a colorful world of ceremony, ritual, dance, and drama. What you don't see what is occult--niskala--is the doctrine underlying the pageants, the code underlying the rites, and the magic underlying the dance. In this book, author Fred Eiseman explores both tangibles and intangibles in the realm of Balinese religion, ritual, and performing arts. The essays collected here topics ranging from Hindu mythology to modern gamelan music. Eiseman's approach is that of a dedicated reporter in love with his subject--he has the knowledge and patience to explain the near-infinite permutations of the Balinese calendar, and yet he is still moved by the majesty of the great Eka Dasa Rudra ceremony. The author's 28 years experience on the island shows and this book rewards close reading--even by the most seasoned students of Balinese culture.

This memoir of a family torn apart by an unthinkable betrayal lays bare an astonishing truth at the heart of an island the world cherishes as "The Last Paradise." When a young American traveler falls in love with and marries a beautiful Balinese girl, all the promise of "The Morning of the World" seems to await. But twenty years later and far too late, he discovers the awful purpose behind the elaborate Hindu ceremonies arranged by his wife at the birth of their children. While he struggles to make sense of the destruction of his family, Balinese friends warn of long-term plans, of black magic, of fraudulent documents, false Hindu ceremonies, collusion by members of the Bali community, the courts, the police, public prosecutors-even his own attorneys-in a combination known in Indonesia as a "Law Mafia." A few close Balinese friends stand with him, helping guide him through the sekala and niskala-the Balinese visible and invisible worlds-but stakes and tensions continue to rise until he faces a possibly fatal decision: dare he fight for his and his children's identities, or must he accept his friends' increasingly urgent advice to flee with his children ahead of plans for murder? The cases behind this book remain unresolved and at the center of ongoing struggles between forces of reform in Indonesia's capital of Jakarta, and the tightly-closed legal and social systems, both native and expatriate, of Bali. A website, uluwatu.com, forms an integral companion to the book. Whether read as a thriller or as a window into the fascinating and complex cultures of Indonesia, the tragedy and hope at the heart of this story propel a gripping read.

Chuck Fung and Swami Shoeman are as different as night and day. But when they meet in Ubud, Bali, they become inseparable opposites, thus unwittingly embodying ancient Balinese cosmology. Attempting to make a buck off the ever-burgeoning crowd of spiritual seekers drawn to this paradise island, they pool their talents and enlist the help of a Balinese Shaman. The Shaman spins a cryptic yarn that convinces the hapless chumps that they have extraordinary powers of creative visualization. The Fung Shoe brothers write a book about the wellspring of abundance they have discovered through their meeting with the Shaman. By sheer coincidence and dumb luck, the book becomes a bestseller and a Hollywood movie. Soon Ubud is crawling with book clutching seekers and what was once a quaint exotic village turns into a nightmare of traffic and out of control development. Chuck and Swami hightail it back to the Shaman in a desperate attempt to reverse the tide of events. But are they too late to save Ubud? Foreword One of the finest books about Bali, simply titled "The Island of Bali," was written by Mexican Artist Miguel Covarrubias and first published in 1937. Covarrubias first arrived in Bali in the spring of 1930; when he returned in 1933, he wrote; ..".we were disappointed; the tourist rush was in full swing...the young were developing contempt for Balinese ways...lands were being sold...we feared we had made a mistake in returning." Ironically, more and more tourists would arrive after reading his book. The saga of modern tourism has pretty much followed this pattern since the industry began: the search for the idyllic, the urge to tell others of the "Paradise found," the subsequent mourning for "Paradise Lost." Since David and Swami arrived in Bali in the late 1980s, a great deal has changed. Television, motor bikes, cars, computers, cellphones, ATMs, fancy restaurants, big hotels, boutiques, yoga centers and spas have proliferated. It's tempting to say: "We are disappointed; maybe we made a mistake in returning!" It would be too easy to point the finger and place the blame. But of course when one assigns the blame, there are always three fingers pointing back at oneself. What to do? What can we say? Perhaps, "Bali is ruined, don't bother coming," or, "Bali is still wonderful, we'll see you in Nuris for a Martini, or in the Kafe for a Turmeric liver cleanse." Whatever you do, don't blame us! OK? "The Monster That Ate Ubud" is the first episode in the adventures of Chuck Fung and Swami Shoeman. It explores the lighter side of life's journeys through the tales of this inseparable pair of chumps. There is something very Asian (and particularly Balinese) about this set up. Although almost extinct in most of SE Asia, Shadow Puppetry (Wayang Kulit) is still a big deal in Bali. The stark black animation on a screen is employed by puppeteers (dalangs) to provide a magical and ritualistic enactment of the battle between the forces of good and evil, while delivering wry political and social commentary that may not be acceptable from the masses, but is deemed "fair play" from the mouths of puppets. There are always two clown puppets that deliver the play's main message. These bozos embody all that is foolish in the human condition and allow the Balinese to laugh at themselves while contemplating ethical, spiritual and current political affairs. So popular are the clown puppets that the most famous puppeteer in Bali is known by the name of the two fools he created; "Ceng, Blong" as fans don't recognize the name of the Dalang himself. (I would give you his name, but I can't remember it!) In the telling this tale of our beloved adopted home - Bali - we have embraced this age-old technique. By laughing at our own folly, we invite you to laugh at yours - or Chuck and Swami's if you like - it's all the same: Fung Shoe. Newmi and David
