【解説】 三島由紀夫が「熟れすぎた果実の腐臭に似た芳香を放つデカダンス文学の逸品」と激賞した川端康成の傑作。深紅のビロードのカーテンの部屋に横たわる全裸の美女を眺め、そっと愛撫する老人、江口――ここは海辺の宿の一室。彼がここへ来る理由はただ一つ、不思議な薬で眠らされ、目覚めることのないた女たちと一夜を過ごすためだった。通うたびに、江口は違う美女と眠りを共にした。そして、その度ごとに、過去に付き合った女たちのことを鮮明に思い出すのだった。ここは、老人の楽園…? 何を聞いても秘密だと言って答えない謎の館の女主人。ほつれ出す秘密のからくり。サスペンスの薫りを漂わせ、最後は思いかけない展開で終わりをむかえる。 【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
【解説】 31歳の若さで、肺結核で没した梶井基次郎は、簡潔な描写と詩情豊かな澄明な文体の心境小説的小品群をを残している。ここでは、その代表的小品を7篇収録した。 猫の耳、猫の爪を眺めながら湧きあがる空想に楽しむ「愛撫」。「えたいの知れない不吉な塊」に心を始終圧えつけてられている「私」が、好きな檸檬を買って丸善で爆弾のように爆発させる様を想像して気持ちが緩むという「檸檬」。長い間暮らした山間の療養地で暮らした時に感じた、深い闇の中で味わう安息などを描く「闇の絵巻」。海辺で溺死したK君と、前夜言葉を交わした際の様子を描く「Kの昇天」。桜の樹の下には屍体が埋まっている! 」と、桜の花の美しさを思いながらそう確信する「桜の樹の下には」。ある晩春の午後、村の街道に沿った土堤の上で日を浴びていた時、動かないでいる巨きな雲の変化を眺めながら湧き上がる思いを描く「蒼穹」。山間の村の杉林の中にある筧の水音に惹かれるという「筧の話」。 【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。

【解説】第二次大戦中に、東南アジアのビルマで戦っていた日本のある軍隊の物語。二度にわたって映画化された竹山道雄の名作。 ビルマは今のミャンマー。古い仏教国で、要衝の地にあるため、日本と連合軍との間で激戦が行われていた。連合軍の猛攻に苦しむ日本軍のある小隊は、音楽学校での隊長の指導を受け、「歌う部隊」と呼ばれていたが、その中でも水島上等兵はひときわ優れ、サウンガウというビルマの竪琴も弾きこなして皆に親しまれていた。やがて終戦で部隊は降伏したが、降伏を潔しとしない三角山の部隊の説得のために水島上等兵が派遣された。しかし、水島はなぜか消息を絶ってしまった。とある日、水島によく似たビルマ僧が収容所の鉄条網近くに現れたが、無言で去っていった。別の日の屋外作業で、部隊の合唱に合わせて大きな涅槃仏の中から竪琴の音が聞こえてきた。入口を必死に探したが無駄だった。やがて帰国の日が近づいてきた。部隊は水島と一緒に帰りたいと願い、鉄条網の外に向かって歌を必死に歌う。と、出発の前日、あのビルマ僧が現れた。部隊が歌う「埴生の宿」をじっときいていたが、やがてそれに合わせて竪琴をかき鳴らした。そして最後に、「仰げば尊し」を奏で去っていった。 出発の当日、僧からの手紙が届いた。もう読む時間はない。水島の決意を悟っていた隊長は後で読もうといってそれを胸にしまう。日本に向かう輸送船の船上で読んだその手紙には、水

【解説】 阿川佐和子の父親でもある、作家阿川弘之。 海軍予備士官として、戦死した友や帝国海軍への鎮魂の思いを綴った『雲の墓標』『軍艦長門の生涯』『暗い波涛』など一連の海軍ものの小説で知られますが、先日、亡くなりました。 その滋味とユーモアに富む文章は読む人をすっと惹き込みます。生きものを擬人化した「スパニエル幻想」と「鱸とおこぜ」の二編はユーモラスな逸品です。「スパニエル幻想」のスパニエルは飼い犬”コッカ―スパニエル”のこと。そして、釣り客の獲物である”鱸(すずき)”と”おこぜ”。これら2作品では人間臭いセリフを語らせています。「鱸とおこぜ」は、魚を擬人化したユーモア短編。藪医者おこぜや生臭坊主のくらげに翻弄される思考派の鱸(すずき) 。インチキ処方箋を信じて苦しみ、あげくは釣りあげられてしまいます。迷問答が笑えます。 【朗読時間】91分 【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。

「吾輩は猫である」の七~九の三章を朗読。
「七」では、吾輩の近頃の運動を紹介する。鎌首をもたげるかまきりを相手にからかったり、蝉を取ったり、あるいは垣めぐりの最中にカラスにからかわれたりする様子を、微に入り細を穿って描写する。続いて、人間どもの衣服を競う様を馬鹿にする一方、すべての衣服を脱ぎ去って、赤裸を衆目環視のうちに露出し、談笑をほしいまましている狂態を、一大奇観として語る。
「八」では、苦沙弥先生宅の北面に隣接する落雲館中学の生徒たちとの攻防を描く。曰く、「臥竜窟苦沙弥先生と落雲館裏八百の健児との大戦争」。生徒らは、野球ボールをわざと打ち込み、無断で竹垣を越えて入り込んで、騒々しく探し回る。先生がねじ込み、以後、断わってから探すことになったら、日に十数回も大声で断りに来る。数名の来客は、先生に諭す。鈴木の藤さんは、所詮多勢に無勢、金と衆とに従いあきらめろと教え、医者の甘木先生は催眠術で神経をしずめろと助言し、そして哲学者然とした男は、消極的の精神修養で安心を得ろと説法したのだった。
「九」では、まず先生の痘痕面の由縁を説明し、鏡を見ながら長く伸ばした髪を分け、髭の手入れをする様子をおかしく語る。続いて、郵便の一端を紹介する。先生は、義捐金の呼びかけや裁縫秘術の活版購入の勧誘はうっちゃるが、趣旨不明の難解な手紙は、意味深長な哲理を反映したものとして-

【解説】 無類の鉄道好きで知られる百鬼園先生の「阿房列車」シリーズ第1弾! 読書界の話題をさらった名著をオーディオブック化。 内田百けんは、漱石の弟子で軽妙洒脱、ときには毒舌の随筆で知られるが、他方で無類の鉄道好きで、元祖「鉄ちゃん」ともいえる存在。その「阿房列車」シリーズは、多数の読者を得ているが、この「特別阿房列車」はその第一弾で、終戦からの復興期の昭和26年に書かれ話題をさらった名著である。 東京から大阪まで、「特急はと」の一等に乗るためだけに、多額の借金をし、着いた途端に戻ってくる。道連れは、国鉄に務める「ヒマラヤ山系」君。口数が少ない彼との間で交わされるとぼけた会話が可笑しい。 【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
「九」では、まず先生の痘痕面の由縁を説明し、鏡を見ながら長く伸ばした髪を分け、髭の手入れをする様子をおかしく語る。続いて、郵便の一端を紹介する。先生は、義捐金の呼びかけや裁縫秘術の活版購入の勧誘はうっちゃるが、趣旨不明の難解な手紙は、意味深長な哲理を反映したものとして有難がる。やがて、迷亭が、静岡の伯父を連れて来訪し、苦沙弥先生は、その時代から遅れた老人とのやり取りにどぎまぎする。今度は、巡査がやってきて、いつぞやの山芋泥棒を連れてきた。その日一日を終えての先生の脈絡のない思考を吾輩は手に取るように理解し、紹介する。

Story
豊島与志雄の「白藤」は、戦地から戻ってきた草光保治の回想である。終戦から2年半たってやっと復員してきた保治の目には、東京は異邦のように映った。電車に乗っていて、ふと藤の花が目に入った。そこから出征前の心通わせた細川美代子との記憶が蘇っていく。 坂口安吾の「アンゴウ」は、安吾としては異色の作品で、推理小説仕立てになっている。終戦間もなく、復員してきた矢島は神田の古本屋でなじみのある上代史の本をみつけ、思わず入手した。それは親友の神尾の蔵書だったが、そこになぜが女手によると思われる男女の密会を想像させる暗号らしき紙片がはさまっていた。しかも、それが自分の勤務先だった出版社の罫紙だったことから、矢島は疑念を募らせていくのだが――たどり着いた胸震わす真実とは!

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.

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.

After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind." Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”
