Isamaa ilu hoieldes on luulekeelne lugu meie rahva sünnist, tema eneseleidmisest ja kasvamisest. Eriti eksimata võib öelda, et kui 1864. aastal sündis Juhan Liiv, ei olnud eesti rahvust veel õieti olemaski. 19. sajandi teisel poolel aga toimus uskumatult kiiresti palju meie rahva jaoks olulisi muutusi ja arenguid, nii et kui luuletaja1913. aastal suri, oli eesti rahvus täiesti olemas. Juhan Liivi ennustus: ? ükskord on Eesti riik! täitus juba seitsme aasta pärast, mil seda tunnustas ka muu maailm. Vaid poole sajandi jooksul muutus suur luulelugu tõeks.Eesti rahvuse ja riigi sünd, kasvamine ja areng, tema head ajad ja rasked päevad kajastuvadki käesolevas luulekogumikus, mille on kokku pannud eesti luuletaja Peep Ilmet. Kodumaa käekäigule on kaasa elanud kõik meie suured luuletajad ja see on läbi aegade inspireerinud neid looma oma parimaid teoseid. Isamaa ilu hoieldes algab Kristjan-Jaak Petersoni tuntud luuletusega Kuu, kus noor luuletaja küsis juba 19. sajandi alguses, Kas siis selle maa keel / laulutuules ei või / taevani tõustes üles / igavikku omale otsida?. Ja nagu näitab käesolev luuleantoloogia, mis võiks olla ka kordades mahukam, on Petersoni soov tänaseks täide läinud. Nõnda võibki käesolevast teosest leida Eesti parimate luuletajate loomingut läbi aegade: esindatud on nii Lydia Koidula, Juhan Liiv, Gustav Suits, Marie Under, Henrik Visnapuu, Mats Traat, Paul-Eerik Rummo, Viivi Luik, Doris Kareva ja paljud teised. Kogumiku lõpetab luulevalimik meie kaunitest rahvusvärvidest. Autorid: Peep Ilmet

Jim Corbett became the hero of thousands of impoverished local families in the remote Indian region of Kumaon when, throughout the 1920s and 30s, he answered their pleas to rid them of the man-eating tigers and leopards which were ravaging their populations. Man-eaters roamed a region of hundreds of square miles over several years, killing the defenceless villagers at will: for example the Champawat man-eater had killed over 434 people in six years, the Panar maneater over 400. Jim, one of 15 children, was born in 1875 to the local post-master in Nainital, and taught himself as a barefoot boy in his local jungle to become, in his spare time one, of the most skilled trackers of his day, fluent in the local dialects, patient beyond endurance and an excellent shot. Duff Hart Davis biography threads together the life of this very private, unassuming Indian railway clerk. Often through Jims own written words, Duff sets out the highlights of Jims adventures in sequence and in context, thus thowing light on Jims remarkable character. Autorid: Duff Hart-Davis
