Story
【解説】 デンマークの世界的童話作家アンデルセンの珠玉の名作。数々の童話の翻訳で知られる山室静氏の名訳で全文(全33夜)を朗読。 『「絵のない絵本」は連作短編小説、あるいは散文詩集というべきもので、屋根裏に住む貧しい画家に、幼なじみの月が、夜々訪れてきて、自分の見たことを語ったのを、画家が書きとめた形式になっていますが、これは彼の実際の経験から思いついたものだそうです。 少年時代のアンデルセンは、遅ればせながらにラテン語学校の給費生になりましたが、卒業を前にして、いろいろの悩みでひどい神経衰弱になり、退学してしまいます。そしてコペンハーゲンに帰って屋根裏に下宿して大学の入試にそなえながら、彼の最も苦しい時期を送ります。このときに一夜、窓の外に幼なじみの月を見出してなぐさめられたのだそうです。 題材は、「旅することは生きること!旅の生活は私にとって最上の学校だった」と言い、生涯を旅から旅に過ごしたアンデルセンらしく、インドやグリーンランドやパリやローマ、さてはサハラ砂漠と、世界各地から拾い集めてあります。主調をなすものは、無邪気なもの、若わかしいものの賛美と、寂しく生きて死んでゆく無名の人々への深い同情でしょうか。これは、彼の童話に通じる心情でしょう。 いずれも、手の中に入りそうな短編ですが、誰かが「クルミの殻の中のホメロス」と評したように、すぐれた人生の断面をさりげなく描

【解説】田中英光は、「オリンポスの果実」で知られるが、太宰治、坂口安吾らとともに無頼派作家に名を連ねる。太宰に弟子入りし、その死に衝撃を受け催眠剤中毒が悪化、太宰の墓前で後追い自殺をした。坂口は、”太宰も田中も半獣神で半貴族で、その壁にぶつかって自滅したようなものである”と書いている――。 『離魂』は「忘れかけた名品」と評されている。36歳にして初めて肉体の恋を知った「私」が、若い愛人との情欲におぼれ、強力催眠剤と酒とで泥酔して狼藉を働き、女の多淫多情に嫉妬し、女に翻弄され金を巻き上げられるなどの無頼な日々が描かれている。 自殺1年前の太宰(文中「津島治」)の仕事部屋を女連れで訪ねた「私」は、一緒に死んだT子さんらと始まった酒盛りと太宰のお道化ぶり、そこに、太宰が死に憩を願い求めていた気持ちを重ねるように書いている。そして、太宰の死を機に、「私」の日々はさらに無頼なものになっていく・・・。ちくま文庫『短篇礼讃』(大川渉編)所収。 (C)wis 【朗読】wis(透明感のある声で知られる女性朗読家)

【解説】 昭和35年芥川賞を受賞した、三浦哲郎の代表作。静かながらも熱い情感をたたえた珠玉の純愛短編。 卒論を控えた大学生である「私」は、小料理屋「忍ぶ川」で働く志乃に好意を寄せる。何回か通ううちに、二人がともに、深川と縁が深いことがわかり実現した深川での散策で、同じような痛ましい家族関係であることをさらに知ることとなり、思いは深まっていく。志乃の父親が危篤との知らせに、どうしても父に貴方を見せたい、見せて看取りたいという志乃。お寺の古いお堂での仮住まいで、志乃の父は「よろしゅう、お願い申します」と最後の言葉を残して逝った。雪降りしきる「私」の郷里での、両親と姉とで挙げたささやかな結婚式に、長い間見失っていた幸福の灯りがともるのを二人は目の当たりにする。雪国では、何も身にまとわず全裸で床に入るのが習わしだ。遠く馬橇(ばそり)の音を聞きながら、生と死を織り重ねるように生きてきたお互いの肌の温かさに、「私」と志乃は、それぞれ新しい生活へ思い馳せるのであった。 【朗読時間】1時間56分17秒 【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】札幌に住んでいた私の家に、少年の君が来て自分の絵を見てもらいたいと言った。それは、手荒ながら不思議な迫力で迫ってくるものだった。君は「もっといいものを描いてまた来ます」と言って帰っていき、それから音信が途絶えて10年がたった。ある朝君から、突然、魚臭い油紙に包まれたスケッチが届けられた。それは芸術家のみが描く事ができる、北海道の深刻な自然の肖像画だった。 久しぶりに会う君は、少年時代の面影などどこにもなかった。君はあれから、苦しい漁家の家業を支えるために東京での学業を断念し、岩内の実家で漁夫として厳しい労働に没頭してきたのだった。昼夜を問わないつらい労働の中、遭難もし、自殺もしかけたが、絵画への欲求は途絶えることはなかったという。君がどうしてそのような苦労を負わなければならないのか、と思う。しかし、この生きている地球の胸の中に隠れて生まれ出ようとするものの悩み――それを僕はしみじみと君によって感ずる事ができるのだ。 【朗読者】wis(透明感のある声で知られる女性朗読家です)

【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。

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.

Story
Come inside a jury room as one juror leads a starkly divided room to consensus. Join a young CIA officer as he recruits a reluctant foreign agent. And sit with an accomplished surgeon as he tries, and fails, to convince yet another cancer patient to opt for the less risky course of treatment. In Supercommunicators, Charles Duhigg blends deep research and his trademark storytelling skills to show how we can all learn to identify and leverage the hidden layers that lurk beneath every conversation.
