Fiction Beast | Cambodian Literature (Khmer tale of Tum Teav) @Fiction_Beast | Uploaded July 2020 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
In this video I will talk about stories from Cambodian literature to give you a snapshot view of literature and storytelling tradition in Cambodia. Tum Teav is a very well-known tale of classic Cambodian literature. It existed in oral tradition for centuries before it was written down and translated into English, French and more languages.

I'm on a mission to read unique books and stories from every country on earth in order to understand the country and its people and culture better as well learn unique ways of storytelling.
I would very much appreciate if you subscribed, shared and liked my videos.
