Story
【解説】 大阪道修町の裕福な商家の娘、春琴は、美貌ながら9歳のとき眼病で失明する。そ れからは、検校の下で琴や三味線の稽古に励み、自らも師匠となって人に教えるようになった。一方、身の回りの世話をする丁稚の佐助は彼女に思慕の情を持ち、自分でも夜中に密かに三味線を練習し始める。それが主人と春琴の耳に入り、以降、春琴の弟子となって琴を習うようになった 。 春琴は佐助との結婚を親に勧められるのを拒絶するが、やがて身ごもる。周囲の思惑に二人は強く関係を否定し、我が子を里子に出してしまうのだが、それでも、同居し師弟の関係は続けるのだった。佐助は年下の春琴をいつまでもお師匠様と呼び、献身的に仕えた。そんなある日、稽古がひときわ厳しい春琴は人の恨みを買い、顔に熱湯をかけられ大火傷を負う。春琴が頭巾をかぶって人目を避けようとするのをみて、佐助は誰よりも胸を痛め悩んだ。そして、自ら針で目を刺し、失明することを選ぶのであった―。 谷崎潤一郎の耽美主義文学の名作で、数度にわたり映画化もされている。マゾヒ ズムを超越した春琴と佐助との師弟関係を描いている。 【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。

Story
世の中が今のように激しく軋み合わない時分、当時の芝居でもすべて美しい者は強者であり、醜い者は弱者であった。そのようなのんびりした世間の頃、清吉という腕ききの若い刺青師がいた。清吉の刺青は奇警な構図と妖艶な線とで名を知られていた。浮世絵師をしていただけに、刺青師に堕落してからの清吉にもさすが画工らしい良心と、鋭感とが残っていた。
しかし、清吉の心を惹きつける程の皮膚と骨組みとを持つ人でなければ、彼は描くことはなかった。たまたま描いてもらっても、一切の構図と費用を彼の望むままにし、その上堪え難い針先の苦痛をこらえねばならなかった。
清吉の心には、人知らぬ快楽と宿願とが潜んでいたため、清吉が人々の肌を針で突き刺す時、痛みに耐えかねて大抵の男は苦しみ呻き声を発するが、その声が激しいほど清吉は愉快を感じるのであった。
清吉の永年の宿願は、光輝ある美女の肌に己れの魂を刺り込む事であった。ただ、美しい顔、肌のみでは清吉は満足ができず、江戸中を調べても容易には見つからず、三、四年は空しく憧れながらも、彼はなおその願いを捨てずにいた。

Story
春琴は大阪道修町の薬種商を営む富裕な家の次女として文政12年5月24日に生まれた。容姿端麗な春琴は4歳の頃から舞を習い、その姿は優艶で舞妓も及ばぬほどであった。また、早くから読み書きの道を学び、上達が早く二人の兄を凌駕した。
しかし、春琴が9歳の時、両眼の明を失い、これを機に舞技を断念し、専ら三味線の稽古に励んだ。 春琴は琴の師匠である春松検校の家へ丁稚に手をひかれて稽古に通った。 その丁稚の名は佐助といい、春琴より4つ歳上で13歳の時に始めて奉公に上った。 春琴に忠実である佐助は春琴の稽古の付き添いをするうちに、彼女の好むものを好むようになり、密かに三味線を購入した。
そして寝静まった頃、誰にも気が付かれないように押入れで練習するが、やがて発覚する。 一番番頭に呼びつけられ大眼玉をくらったが、春琴が「聴いてみたい」と言ったことで皆の前で披露することとなった。 短時間の独学にしてはかんどころも確かで、節回しも出来きていて皆は感心した。それから、春琴は佐助に稽古をすることとなり、春琴と佐助は主従の上にさらに師弟関係となった。春琴の稽古は厳しく、撥をもって頭を殴り佐助がシクシク泣き出すことも珍しくなかった。 春琴の稽古時の粗暴な振舞を案じた春琴の両親は佐助を春松検校の門に入れさせ、春琴が直接教授することを封じてしまったのである。...Failed to add items

【解説】 谷崎潤一郎の風刺的文学の逸品。猫好きにはたまらないペーソスとユーモアが滲 み出ている。 愛猫リリーを一日中溺愛する庄造に、妻の福子は嫉妬が隠せない。前妻の品子を 姑と両親とが謀って追い出して、その後釜に座ったはいいものの、これではたまらない。そんなある日、品子から手紙が舞い込んだ。家を出て寂しいからリリーだけでも譲ってくれないか、というのである。あんなに冷たくしていた猫を急に好きになるはずはない、これは何か魂胆があっての事…と、初めはとりあうつもりがなかったが、庄造のあまりのリリーの溺愛ぶりに福子さえも嫉妬を覚え、姑とともに説得して品子のところにやってしまった。 庄造は、リリーがつらい思いをしていないかと気になって仕方がなく、或る日、福子との喧嘩をきっかけに、すがるようにリリーの様子を見に行くのだが、案に相違にして、 リリーは品子にすっかりなついてしまっていた…。 【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。

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.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College―Violet included. 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.
