Story3
Li Po (AD 701-762) lived in T'ang Dynasty China, but his influence has spanned the centuries: the pure lyricism of his poems has awed readers in China and Japan for over a millennium, and through Ezra Pound’s translations, Li Po became central to the modernist revolution in the West. However ethereal in spirit, his poems remain grounded in the everyday experience we all share. He wrote 1,200 years ago, half a world away, but in his poems we see our world transformed.

主人公である「自分」は人と違う感覚を持っており、それゆえに他人とまともに会話が出来ない。周囲の人々に対する恐怖を道化を演じることでごまかしてきた。それにより、尊敬される、ということなるが、今度は、道化が見破られるのではないかという恐怖を感じるようになる…。そして道化は「或るひとりの全知全能の者に見破られる」という事件が起きる。「人間、失格。もはや、自分は、完全に、人間で無くなりました」というところまで葉蔵の人生は流れていく…。この作品は主人公である葉蔵の手記という形で構成されています。主人公の語る過去には太宰自身の人生を彷彿とさせるところもあり、『人間失格』は、太宰の自伝的な小説であるとみなされています。太宰治の魂の告白をオーディオブックでお楽しみください! ※本作品は発表時の未熟な時代背景から、今日の社会では一般的でなく、不適切と思われる表現が含まれている箇所がございます。しかし作品のオリジナル性を最大限に尊重し、なるべく当時のまま忠実に再現することを優先いたしました。(C)2008青空文庫

Al sur de Kioto, junto a la vía del tren de la línea de Keihan, a sólo una parada de la ciudad, hay un monasterio. Una escalada laberíntica conduce al nieto del príncipe de Genji a este lugar apartado. No muy lejos de allí, dicen, tiene que hallarse el jardín más hermoso del mundo. Camina por todo el recinto del monasterio como movido por una fuerza interior. Una construcción sutil ha dado forma a la naturaleza, cada cosa tiene su lugar y cada forma su significado.

CI SONO DUE COSE CHE IO NON RIESCO ASSOLUTAMENTE A SOPPORTARE: LE FEMMINISTE E LA MARGARINA. Rika è una giornalista in una rivista maschile. È l’unica donna nel suo posto di lavoro e spesso viene trattata come una segretaria, quando non peggio. Per cercare di farsi strada lavora giorno e notte e tutto ciò che riesce a cucinare quando la sera torna tardi a casa è un ramen preconfezionato. Da tempo però un pensiero la assilla: vuole intervistare Manako Kajii, la cuoca gourmet accusata di aver assassinato gli uomini d’affari con i quali si intratteneva, dopo aver cucinato per loro.
