「長い間、私はお茶にうるさいほうだと自認していたが、それがうぬぼれだったことを中村邸で思い知らされている。」「小粒の梅干しにくっきりと紫の紫蘇の葉がまつわりついて白い陶器の皿に映え、一幅の画かと見まがうほど」･･･一杯のお茶が、供じた人のひととなりまでをも語ることもある。日本の心Omotenasiの真髄がここに。

Ever since he was a kid, kicking broken footballs on the streets of East London in the shadow of Canary Wharf's skyscrapers, Gary wanted something better. Something a whole lot bigger. Then he won a competition run by a bank: 'The Trading Game'. The prize: a golden ticket to a new life, as the youngest trader in the whole city. A place where you could make more money than you'd ever imagined. Where your colleagues are dysfunctional maths geniuses, overfed public schoolboys and borderline psychopaths, yet they start to feel like family.

Breathtaking in its scope, unforgettable in its descriptions, this is a masterpiece that is extraordinary in every way.

Marty Friedman's upbringing was as atypical as his career. Growing up in a Jewish household in Maryland, the son of an NSA executive, he lacked motivation until he discovered the guitar. Enjoying a hazy adolescence overflowing with partying, music, and teen antics, he achieved local stardom in Deuce, then burst onto the national scene by pioneering a radically new style of playing, bringing attention to the guitar aficionado label, Shrapnel Records. Friedman moved to California and scored a gig in Megadeth.

「彼等の義務の中に、半分の好意を溶き込んで、それを病人の眼から透かして見たら、彼等の所作がどれほど尊くなるか分らない。病人は彼等のもたらす一点の好意によって、急に生きて来るからである。余は当時そう解釈して独りで嬉しかった。そう解釈された医師や看護婦も嬉しかろうと思う。本当に嬉しかった、本当にありがたかった、尊かったと、生涯に何度思えるか、勘定すれば幾何もない。たとい純潔でなくても、自分に活力を添えた当時のこの感情を、余はそのまま長く余の心臓の真中に保存したいと願っている」「ことに病気になって仰向けに寝てからは、絶えず美しい雲と空が胸に描かれた」など、漱石のしみじみした心境を描いており、大患を境に「則天去私」の境地に達したといわれている。各所に、漱石作の漢詩や俳句が載っており、その意味でも貴重な作品。全編33節のすべてを収録。本オーディオブックは改訂新版で、ゆっくりと落ち着いたトーンで制作してあります。

Elegiac observations are punctuated by jabs of memories, penetrating and tough.

Everyone is programmed a little differently, and Bill Gates' unique insight led to business triumphs that are now widely known: the twenty-year-old who dropped out of Harvard to start a software company that became an industry giant and changed the way the world works and lives; the billionaire many times over who turned his attention to philanthropic pursuits to address climate change, global health, and U.S. education.

半世紀以上も前に放たれた安吾からのメッセージ。 天皇制、武士道、戦争、政治…。 既存の道徳に向かい、安吾の視線は常に本質を見抜こうとする。 生々流転、無限なる人間の永遠の未来に対して、我々の一生などは露の命であるにすぎず、その我々が絶対不変の制度だの永遠の幸福を云々し未来に対して約束するなどチョコザイ千万なナンセンスにすぎない。我々の為しうることは、ただ、少しずつ良くなれということで、人間の堕落の限界も、実は案外、その程度でしか有り得ない。人は無限に堕ちきれるほど堅牢な精神にめぐまれていない。何物かカラクリにたよって落下をくいとめずにいられなくなるであろう。そのカラクリをつくり、そのカラクリをくずし、そして人間はすすむ。堕落は制度の母胎であり、そのせつない人間の実相を我々は先ず最もきびしく見つめることが必要なだけだ。 戦後日本の思想に多大な影響を与えた「続堕落論」をオーディオ化!
