Enyanisweni, uBoris ukhona. U-Akunin ngokwenene ungumlingani wangempela. Kalula nje lo mbhali ngowesibili "I" kaGrigory Chkhartishvili. Lo ngumdlalo wakhe, owaqala ngaphezu kweminyaka elishumi edlulileyo. Kwaye kwakuboniswa nguBoris Akunin. Xa uGregory wayeselula, wayemthanda ukugembula, ngakumbi amakhadi. Mhlawumbi yingakho iFandorin ihlala iphumelela kuyo yonke ingcakazo, owaziyo. Kodwa, ngoku ingxoxo ayikho ngoFandorin, kodwa ngoMnu Akunin, okanye kunoko, iKhakhartishvili. Ngoko, u-Akunin onet talente ebonakala njani ehlabathini? Ngelo xesha, uMnu Chkhartishvili wabhala incwadi enzima kakhulu ebizwa ngokuthi "Umbhali nokuzibulala". Le ncwadi yammisela ekudandathekeni, kwaye ukuze ngandlela-thile uphumule, umbhali obalaseleyo waqala ukudala iifenethi zee-detective. Wayefuna ukubhala ingqungquthela yecawa, eyabonayo ngokucacileyo iincwadi zesiRashiya. Yilapho i-Akunin ibonakala. Wayethanda ukuhlaziya iincwadi ezikhethekileyo, ukufunda iincwadi ezithile, iileta kunye namanqaku kumaphephandaba endala. Ekuqaleni akukho mntu wayazi ukuba ngubani lo mbhali. Ngokuqinisekileyo, abantu baqala ukuzakhela izinto ezintle kakhulu, abanye bathi nakuba abacuphi babhala uZhirinovsky. Kwaye u-Akunin noKkhartishvili babheka konke oku, kwaye ekugqibeleni, bavuma ukuba ngubani ngokwenene.
Xa ndibuza uGrigory kutheni le ngqungquthela yaqalwa ngo-Akunin, uthi, eqinisweni, akafuni ukwenza oku. Yiyo kanye into abhalayo kunye noko u-Akunin abhala ngokucacileyo. UMnu Chkhartishvili udala iincwadana zakhe kunye namabakala ixesha elide, kodwa u-Akunin, ubuchopho bakhe busebenza ngokukhawuleza, banokubhala amabali afunyaniswayo kwiinyanga ezimbalwa. Ukongezelela, uMnu Chkhartishvili akayiyo loo mntu u-Akunin. Uthi uBoris unomusa kwaye uyakholelwa kuThixo. Mhlawumbi, oku kumnika amandla okudala abalinganiswa, ngokukhawuleza okanye kamva, kodwa banokutshintsha ububi. Kwaye uMnu. Akunin wayenenhlanhla ngeli gama, kuba akunakwenzeka ukuguquka, ngokungafani nobunzima be-Chkhartishvili.
U-Akunin uyathanda kakhulu iMntla, ngoko igama lakhe kufuneka lifundwe ngesiJapan. Abantu abaninzi bacinga ukuba oku kuthetha "umntu ongendawo". Kodwa oku akuyona inkcazo epheleleyo yegama. Kwincwadi ethi "I-Diamond Chariot", echaza ngeminyaka ye-Fandorin yaseJapan, inkcazelo echanekileyo yegama elithi "Akunin" linikezelwa. Kwakhona ichaza ukuba u-Akunin akakwazi ukubizwa ngokuba ngumntu ongendawo. Akunjalo nhlobo. Lo mntu uhlala nje ngemithetho ebekwe nguye kwaye angayi kutshintsha. Ngokuqhelekileyo, nangona kunjalo, loo mithetho ayihambelani nemithetho eyintloko, kodwa uAkunin akhathaleli. Ulungele ukufa, ukuba nje akayeki into ecinga ukuba ilungile. Ngoko ke, ngokuqinisekileyo, kunokwenzeka ukuba uyayithiya, kodwa akunakwenzeka ukuba ungayihloneli.
Ngoku ukuba abalandeli balifunde leli bali leFandorin, bakwazi ukuqonda oko, ngokwenene, kuthetha igama lomlobi wabo ozithandayo. Ngako oko, banokuhlala bezolile kwaye bangacingi ukuba ngumntu onentsingiselo noloyiko. Kunoko, uyazi nje inyaniso yakhe kwaye uhlala elwa nalo. Nangona, mhlawumbi le ngcamango yenyaniso ayisoloko ihambelana ne-jikelele evunywe kwaye yamkelwe kuluntu. Kodwa ke, wonke umntu unokuqiniseka ukuba uBoris Akunin ungumlobi onetalente kunye nomntu ofanelekileyo ngenhlonipho. Mhlawumbi wabonakala, njengokungathi ukususela ekuqaleni kwekhulu lemashumi mabini, kodwa, nangona kunjalo, ngokukhawuleza kwaye ngokukhawuleza waba neengcambu kwihlabathi lanamhlanje kwaye uyahlala ekholisa thina kunye nabacuphi abahle malunga nexesha apho kwakusenomxholo wenhlonipho kunye nesithunzi.
Kodwa ke, asifanele sikhohlwe nguMnu Chkhartishvili. Emva koko, ukuba kwakungekho, ngoko, kunye noBoris Akunin, thina, mhlawumbi, asiyi kuba nembeko. Ngoko, makhe sithethe kancinane ngoGrigory Chkhartishvili. Wazalelwa eGeorgia ngoMeyi 20, 1956. Xa uGrisha omncinci wayeneminyaka emibini ubudala, abazali bakhe bathuthela eMoscow. Uthando lwenkcubeko yasempumalanga lwafakwa kwi-Theatre yaseGregory Kabuki. Kwayimbongeni kuye ukuba uChartishvili wangena kwiSebe leMbali yeMoscow yaseMoscow ne-Philology kwi-Institute of Asian and African Studies. Yileyo ndlela uGregory waba ngumfundi waseJapan, onombulelo kakhulu kuMnu Akunin kunye nabo bonke abathandayo. Ngesinye isihlandlo uMnu. Chkhartishvili wayengumphathi-mlawuli-oyintloko kwincwadi yeeNkcukacha zangaphandle, iminyaka engaphezu kweyishumi uye wabhalwa ngokubhaliweyo kwaye, ngelo xesha, akazibheki njengombhali. UMnu Chkhartishvili unikela zonke ii-laurels kuMnu Akunin. Nangona kunjalo, uqhubeka ezijonga njengomvelisi kwaye akaphambukeli ukuvuma indumiso kule ndawo. Kodwa, uMnu Chkhartishvili usebenza ngokubhaliweyo kunye nokuhlela imisebenzi enzulu, njengomzekelo, "I-Anthology yaseJapan". Uyabhala kwakhona amanqaku acacisayo, aguqulela iincwadi zesiJapane, yaseMelika kunye nesiNgesi aze aqokelele iqoqo lezinto ezilungileyo kakhulu zabalobi beNtshona.
Kakade, bayayazi kwaye bayamhlonela kwiindawo ezithile. Kodwa, kunjalo, uyathandwa kakhulu kunokuba uBoris Akunin ahluke. Apha wanyulwa umlobi wonyaka, kunye nezinye iimbasa.

Ekugqibeleni, ukuhlonelwa kwabantu akukho naziphi na izitembu, kodwa bangakanani abathandayo kwaye balindele ukuqhubeka kwamabali akhe. Kwaye ukuba uyayibheka imeko ngale ndlela, unokuqiniseka ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba uMnu Akunin ungumdali wezigidigidi, iincwadi zakhe zihlala zilindelwe ukunyamezela okukhulu.
