      Japonia to kraj który nas fascynuje. To kraj, który zaskakuje dziwnością - dziwny jak japoński teleturniej, mówimy czasem. To kraj, w którym kierowca zawracający na pustej drodze przed falą tsunami zawraca na trzy razy włączając skrupulatnie kierunkowskaz za każdym nawrotem. Kłaniamy się z pełnym szacunkiem... skrywając szeroki uśmiech. Ta książka jest fascynującym zbiorem esejów amerykańskiego konsultanta biznesowego, który w latach pięćdziesiątych osiadł w Japonii, by w wolnych chwilach poświęcić się swojej pasji - zrozumieniu mentalności Japończyków poprzez język. Udało mu się stworzyć pakiet wiedzy tak nabity spostrzeżeniami i szczegółami, że ich przyswojenie jest dla czytelnika przygodą i kopalnią ciekawostek na całe tygodnie. Wreszcie Japonia to kraj, w którym za chwilę odbędzie się Olimpiada - może warto go zatem szczególnie teraz lepiej poznać!
