Frank Wynne's anthology reminds us that we are not condemned to
languish in our cyber citadels. Translators are the travellers who
let us into the secret that the cultural variety of the world is
inexhaustible. What we might ultimately find in these translations
is what we are permanently in danger of losing: our capacity to
understand and live with difference
