In the hillside village of Soblan, Krung, a Karen Hill Tribe boy, lives the rural life of a subsistence farmer with his family. Life is hard, but the forests and hills of Chiang Mai Province are a beautiful place, and he is grateful for the culture and solidarity of his loving family and tribe. Suah, the tiger, is the only one of his kind, and his forest world is vanishing as he searches for food and solace. When the two worlds of man and beast clash, it is an existential danger and horror for both. What will become of the hill tribe, and the last Siamese tiger? This is a story about survival for those on the margins of our modern world.

A Tale of Aceh is the story of Hasan Bangkaru, a child soldier caught up in the civil war of Aceh province, Sumatra, Indonesia. Wounded in an ambush by the military deep in the jungle, Hasan takes refuge in a tree-top. There he has an unlikely encounter with a great ape, as he recovers and tries to think a way out of his predicament. Eventually, he embarks on an epic voyage across the island of Sumatra, trying to reach the west coast and the sea. Then, alone on an island, fate deals him, and so many others along with him, the harshest of cards.

Explanatory Notes Ajahn Sulak Sivaraksa wrote his autobiography entitled Loyalty Demands Dissent and S J translated the gist of his Thai recollection of the Senior Statesman into Powers That Be: Pridi Banomyong Through the Rise and Fall of Thai Democracy which has appeared in many languages eg German, French, Chinese, Hindi, Tamil, Sinhalese, Tibetan, Bahasa Indonesia and Vietnamese. Besides, Dr Donald K Swearer also wrote "Sulak Sivaraksa's Vision for Renewing Society" which was published in Engaged Buddhism: Buddhist Liberation Movements in Asia edited by Christopher S Queen and Sallie B King. Meanwhile, Danny Campbell has just written A Siamese Story: A Biographical Essay on Sulak Sivaraksa as he had earlier written How the City Farang Came to Love the Forest and Other Stories (2002), A Tale About People and a Pipeline (2003), The Last of the Siamese Tigers (2008), and A Tale of Aceh (2012). This last book by him is kindly translated into Thai by Nattanop Palahan. I should like to thank both the author and translator and in the name of Ajahn Sulak's disciples we would like to publish both English and Thai versions on Ajahn's 82nd birthday - 27th March 2015.
