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

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。

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

There is no bigger public health story now than the collapse in youth mental health. The numbers are terrifying and dominate our headlines. There has been much debate over how we got here, and what to do next, and bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is at the white-hot center of that discourse.

Anthony Fauci is arguably the most famous – and most revered – doctor in the world today. His role guiding America sanely and calmly through Covid (and through the torrents of Trump) earned him the trust of millions during one of the most terrifying periods in modern American history, but this was only the most recent of the global epidemics in which Dr. Fauci played a major role. His crucial role in researching HIV and bringing AIDS into sympathetic public view and his leadership in navigating the Ebola, SARS, West Nile, and anthrax crises, make him truly an American hero.
