Story
『美しい村』は、軽井沢の高原の村を舞台にした堀辰雄自身が反映された小説家が主人公とした小説で、失恋をして傷心の「私」がやがて少女との愛を育むに至る物語。 「私」は、女性との不幸な別れの痛手を癒すために、年少時に遊んだK村でいろいろな散歩道を歩き、その穏やかで見慣れた風景に心を休めていた。そして、そこでの牧歌的な物語を書こうとしていたのだが、ある時、向日葵のような少女と出会い、惹きつけられてしまった。彼女は毎朝いつも絵具箱をかかえて出かけていたが、やがて会話をまじわすようになり、腕を組むほどになった。こうして、この少女との出会いを軸にした小説を書くことにし、きた時の恋愛の傷心は自然と癒されていった。 この少女のモデルが、のちに堀の婚約者となり、『風立ちぬ』のヒロインとなる矢野綾子である。軽井沢を舞台にした物語は、そのまま『風立ちぬ』の世界へとつながっていく。高原の澄み切った空気を感じさせる堀辰雄独特の世界である。 『馬車を待つ間』は、山間の温泉宿に生まれてはじめての一人旅に出かけた「私」は、躑躅の花、宿の娘との会話、宿の素朴な女中たちの世話などで、旅愁が少しずつ癒えていくという短編。 『窓』は、絵の恩師A氏の遺作展覧会に氏がもっとも愛した「窓」という作品を出品してもらうため、その所有者である夫人の別荘を訪れた際にわかった意外な展開を描く小品。

Story
文科省留学生として派遣された夏目漱石。この2つの随筆には、そのロンドン(倫敦)滞在中での抱腹絶倒の漱石の姿がある。下宿の巨躯の婆さんに半ば命令されて自転車を始めるも、乗りこなすのに四苦八苦。坂道を猛スピードで駆け下りて板塀に激突したり、青年伯爵らと出かけたものの暴走して毒づかれたりと、漱石の悪戦苦闘ぶりを描く『自転車日記』。洋書を買い込むべく、滞在費をぎりぎりに切り詰め安下宿に住むが、知ったかぶりの説教をする夫人や、のべつしゃべりまくる使用人の女、下宿の主人夫婦と家主との大喧嘩などに閉口しながらも、彼らに頼られていく様子を描く『倫敦消息』。英国留学中に深刻なノイローゼになったと言われる漱石とはまるで別人の、留学生活を楽しむ生き生きとした漱石がここにはいる。(C) wis

【解説】 宮沢賢治童話の名作シリーズの第2として、5編を収録。「風の又三郎」は、宮沢賢治の代表的作品。山あいの小さな分教場に変わった風貌の転校生高田三郎が現れた。最初はお互い緊張していたが、やがて打ち解け、高原の野原で馬追いに興じたり、川で発破漁に遭遇して魚を捕ったりして遊んだ。しかし、又三郎が転校してきてからわずか12日目に、台風一過とともに、彼はまた風のように転校していってしまった。 みにくい姿かたち故に、ほかの鳥からさげすまれ続けたよだかが、この世を捨てまっすぐ大空にのぼり青白く燃える星になった「よだかの星」。 虔十は子ども達に馬鹿にされながらも、何事も一生懸命で、無心に杉の木の枝打ちもし、杉の植林を終わるが、 やがて亡くなってしまう。それから何十年も月日がたち、虔十が植えて立派に育った杉林は今も変わらず人々に憩いをもたらしているという、心温まる「虔十公園林」。岩手山麓の不思議な名前の四つの森と人間のたのしい交歓を描く「狼森と笊森、盗森」。他の猫の書記たちにいつも意地悪ばかりされている書記の窯猫を描く「猫の事務所」。 【朗読】wis ※透明感と落ち着きのある声で親しまれている女性朗読家です。

夏目漱石の代表作『吾輩は猫である』の(一)~(三)までを収録。
(一)主人の英語教師の苦沙弥先生は書斎にこもってばかりだが、勤勉とはほど遠い。涎を垂らして居眠りばかりしている。見栄っ張りの知ったかぶり。ある時、友人の美学者の迷亭が語った「高名な画家アンドレア・デル・サルト」の言葉に、なるほど彼もそう言ったか、と相槌を打ち、さっそく自身も迷亭の言うように写生を試みるのだが、それは迷亭のまったくのでまかせだった。
(二)猫の大王のような「車屋の黒」は、吾輩が鼠も捕ったことがないことを馬鹿にする。吾輩は何でも食うので気にしないが、正月、主人の残した餅に食いついた時は驚いた。もちが歯に食い込んで噛み切れない。苦しみのあまり、立ち上がって前足で取ろうとした奇妙な「猫踊り」を見つかり大笑いされてしまった。傷心を癒すには、美貌猫の三毛子と話すに限る。新参者の吾輩にお師匠さんのことを説明する「天璋院様のご祐筆の妹の…」のやりとりは傑作場面のひとつ。その三毛子を、しばらくして訪ねると、どうも様子がおかしい。どうやら三毛子は死んだらしい。戒名まで付けてもらって女師匠らに惜しまれている。彼らは、薄汚い野良猫の吾輩のせいで病気になったのだと言っている。
(三)吾輩は、世間から少し注目され始めた。苦沙弥先生は日曜日の午後、硯と原稿用紙を前に何やら唸っている。やがて迷亭が来る。寒-

Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Story
Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions—and feel incredible today—is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function—the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our wellbeing.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.
