Valimik jaapani novelli isaks tituleeritud Akutagawa Ryunosuke (1892-1927) tekstidest. Kogumik sisaldab juba varem ilmunud tolkeid autori kuulsaimatest novellidest, aga ka uustolkeid eesti lugejale seni veel tundmata, kuid maailma novelliklassikasse kuuluvatest teostest. Tolkevalikus on esindatud koik Akutagawa loomingu pohiteemad: kiretu vaheduse ja harvaesineva psuhholoogilise tabavusega manatakse lugeja ette vaikese inimese elu keskaegses ja autori kaasaegses Jaapanis, tagakiusatud jaapani kristlaste maailm ning see, mis toimub autori enese hullumeelses peas. Ryunosuke Akutagawa sundis 1892. aastal Jaapanis. Et ta ema laks peagi parast poja sundi hulluks, kasvas poiss ema venna peres ja sai onult ka oma perekonnanime. Kirjanduse vastu tundis ta huvi juba varases eas. 1914. aastal asutas Akutagawa koos koolivendadega kirjandusajakirja, kus nad avaldasid nii W.B. Yeatsi kui ka Anatole Francei tolkeid, aga ka omaenda kirjutisi. 1915. aastal avaldas ta oma esimese luhijutu Rashomon uhes kirjandusajakirjas ning seda pandi tahele. Voib oelda, et sellest algas ka Akutagawa tosisem kirjanikukarjaar. Kartes, et ta on parinud ema vaimuhaiguse, sooritas Akutagawa 35-aasta vanuselt enesetapu. Tema kirjanduslik parand koosneb 150 luhijutust.

For over 30 years Sherard Cowper-Coles was on the diplomatic front line in a distinguished Foreign Office career that took him from the corridors of power in Whitehall to a string of high-profile posts across the globe.Entering the Foreign Office fresh from Oxford in 1977, he enjoyed a meteoric rise with postings in Beirut, Alexandria and Cairo, Washington, and Paris, and working on Hong Kong, punctuated with spells in London, where the young diplomat had a baptism of fire writing foreign affairs speeches for Geoffrey Howe and Margaret Thatcher.In 1999, he was made Principal Private Secretary to the irascible Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, providing the book with some of its most hilarious sequences, and his glittering career culminated in a succession of ambassadorial posts as Our Man in Israel, Saudi Arabia and finally Afghanistan.‘Ever the Diplomat’ is his revealing, passionate and witty account of half a lifetime in diplomacy, which is set to become a classic of the genre.
