Publishing over 30 books on Bali, Eiseman Jr. was a great messenger of Bali culture. Only one of his books is still reprinted, his bestseller “sekala and Niskala” (the Seen and the Unseen), Balinese terms for the co-existence of the spiritual world (Niskala) next to ours (sekala). Another title is still available as e-book (Fruits of Bali).

Most of his books were just self-published, hand-copied in small editions and sold in a few places like Ganesha bookstore in Ubud.

There is a great a great Open-Source project supporting the preservation of Balinese language, which started with 10.000 words of Eisemans dicitionary basabali.org This wonderful project will continue to add content of Eisemans work in the future.
