Story
異国で身を立てるため勉学に励む青年と、父を亡くした貧しい娘の悲恋が、いま蘇る。
明治から大正にかけて活躍した文豪・森鴎外の初期の代表作を、
高雅な文体をそのままに、音声でお届けします。
政府からの指示で5年前からドイツ・ベルリンへ留学していた主人公・太田豊太郎は、
ドイツ語やフランス語を学び、政治学を修めようとしていました。
幼いころに亡くした父の遺言と母の教えを守り、
ヨーロッパの華やかさに目もくれず、心を動かすまいという固い決意を持って勉学に励んでいた彼は、
ある時、エリスという女性に出会います。
エリスは劇団に所属していましたが、その生活はひどく貧しいものでした。
父の葬儀代が出せないという彼女の窮状を、豊太郎が救ったことをきっかけに、
二人は惹かれあい、交際を始めます。
しかし2人を待っていたのは、全く異なる身の上ゆえに容赦なく降りかかる、様々な困難でした。
いつしか豊太郎は、政府の留学生としての自分の居場所と、
エリスとの関係を天秤にかけざるを得ない状況に陥っていきます。
ドイツ・ベルリンで、二人は果たしてどのような道を歩むのか――Failed to add items

19世紀末、国家と生家の期待を担ってドイツに留学した太田豊太郎は、日本の封建的な文化とは異なる空気に触れ、それまでの自己に疑問を持ち、自他に批判を強めるようになっていく。
そんなある日、彼は古びた教会の裏道で泣き崩れる美しき少女、エリスに出会う。
言葉に尽くせないほどの美しさと清らかさを持つ少女に心を奪われた豊太郎は、彼女の苦難に力を貸すことなった。
しかし、日頃同僚たちに妬まれていた彼は、その件がきっかけでその地位を剥奪され、異国の地で孤立してしまう。
儚き美少女エリスへの愛情と、望郷の想いとに揺らぎながら、豊太郎は幼き「舞姫」と生活を共にしていくのであった。

Story
京都の罪人が遠島を申し渡されると、高瀬舟に乗せられる。島を申し渡された罪人は、重い罪を犯しているが決して盗みをするために火をつけ人を殺すというような極悪な人物が多数を占めていたわけではない。高瀬舟に乗る過半はいわゆる心得違いのために思わぬ罪を犯した人であった。
ある春の夕に、珍しい罪人が高瀬舟に乗せられた。それは名を喜助といい、三十歳ばかりになる、住所不定の男である。護送を命ぜられて、一緒に舟に乗り込んだ同心羽田庄兵衛は、喜助が弟殺しの罪人だということだけを聞いていた。 喜助の様子を見ると、いかにも神妙でおとなしく、自分を役人として敬って、何事につけても逆らわないようにしている。しかもそれが、罪人の間に見られるような、素直を装って媚びる態度ではないのを庄兵衛は不思議に思った。 喜助の顔がいかにも楽しそうで、口笛を吹くとか、鼻歌を歌い出しそうなぐらいに思い、庄兵衛は始終喜助の顔から目を離さずにしていた。...Failed to add items

Story
「高瀬舟は京都の高瀬川を上下する小舟である」。 あるとき高瀬舟で護送の任を担った同心が、いつもとは違う雰囲気を持った罪人に興味を引かれます。その罪人の額は晴れやかで、目にはかすかな輝きがあったのです。生まれながらの極貧の生活を強いられながらも、欲心のない喜助。人助けの気持ちから弟の自害に手を貸してしまい、殺しの罪を負ってしまいます。この作品では人間の欲望ということと、現代でも大きな問題となっている安楽死の問題を取り上げています。 金田賢一の朗読は、同心と罪人のゆるやかなテンポで交わされる会話を、まるで船上に居合わせたが如く、味わい深く聴かせてくれます。

Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

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!

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.
