Story
本作作者菊池寛は、小説家で、劇作家で、ジャーナリスト、東京市会議だったり、大映の社長だったり。文藝春秋社つくって、芥川賞・直木賞も創立した。日本麻雀連盟初総裁をつとめ、競馬に入れ込み馬主にもなり、将棋も嗜み「人生は一局の将棋なり 指し直す能わず」と嘯いている。 頭の回転早くお茶目でいたずら好きで屈託なくむとんちゃく、大人になっても泥まみれで遊んでいる子供のような彼は、ねらいたがわず合戦とか武将も大好きで、ウンチクたれてるだけでは飽き足らず本作を上梓した。 本作は戦国時代ではなく南北朝時代。南朝方の楠木正行と足利尊氏の家臣高師直との間の戦いを考証している。楠木正成を知る良い作品となっている。

Story
『勝負事』は、勝負事にのめり込み破滅していく人間が描かれながら、最後には何か救われたような気持ちにさせる菊池寛らしい作品。『形』は、簡潔な文章でありながら、形に惑わされる人間の本質をついた傑作である。 菊池寛(きくち かん、香川県生まれ、1888年 - 1948年)。小説家、劇作家として有名であるが、文芸春秋社の創設者でもある。代表作には「父帰る」、「恩讐の彼方に」 などがある。

Jason and his companions managed to forestall the inexorable undead, but their battle is far from done. Both they and their enemies are scattered across a strange realm, one that someone must conquer if anyone is to get out alive. Territory by territory, factions fight to reunite their people and conquer the realm. Jason must contend with alliances he doesn’t want, friends he cannot find, and enemies ranging from angelic despots to the power of an undead god. He must face a realm that has been warped by his own mind and find a way to save a friend whose sacrifice got them this far.

Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.
