In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone.

The original 1937 manuscript was written and edited with the assistance of Napoleon’s wife. In later years, the existing document was again edited by Dr. Hill. For example, the Foundation owns a 1958 edition that Hill edited personally. This did not lessen the book’s value in Hill’s judgment. Hill made the editing remarks in his own handwriting and the resulting 1960 edited edition has sold over 100 million copies making it the most read self-help book of all time.

A disturbing tale of a young man's uncanny ability to remain both young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery, The Picture of Dorian Gray was considered proof of both Wilde's genius and his perversion. Oscar Wilde's scandalous best seller of 1891 was one of the most damning pieces of evidence used against him in the trial that brought about his downfall.

E. H. Gombrich's world history, an international best seller now available in English for the first time, is a text dominated not by dates and facts but by the sweep of experience across the centuries, a guide to humanity's achievements, and an acute witness to its frailties.

初出は「東京朝日新聞」「大阪朝日新聞」［1907（明治40）年］。1907年、漱石は小説家として生きる決意を固め、東京帝国大学を辞職して朝日新聞社に入社した。この作品は入社後はじめての新聞連載小説。誇り高い自我を持つヒロイン藤尾は親の決めた相手ではない男と結婚しようとするが、義理の兄が道義を守らせるために画策する。誇りを傷つけられた藤尾は自殺する。藤尾に象徴される近代文明を批判した作品とされるが、「悪」としての藤尾の人気は連載当時から高く、虞美人草ドレスという商品まで現れる社会現象となった。

This is the story of an artist who was willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of art. In much of its general outline, this famous novel follows the life of Paul Gauguin, famous French post-impressionist painter, but it is not a novelized biography of Gauguin. Rather it is a sharply-delineated, carefully wrought "private life", written by one of the most vivid and penetrating contemporary literary masters.

Conservationist Rachel Carson spent over six years documenting the effects on DDT, a synthetic organic compound used as an insecticide, on numerous communities. Her analysis revealed that such powerful, persistent chemical pesticides have been used without a full understanding of the extent of their potential harm to the whole biota, including the damage they've caused to wildlife, birds, bees, agricultural animals, domestic pets, and even humans. An instant best seller that was read by President Kennedy during the summer of 1962, this classic remains one of the best introductions to the complicated and controversial subject.

健三という知識人の主人公は夫婦関係や養父母との金銭のからんだ葛藤から神経衰弱になる。金銭問題が片付いたあとも「世の中に片付くなんてものは殆んどありゃしない」と苦々しく言う。イギリス留学から帰国して「吾輩は猫である」を書くころまでの漱石自身の身辺に起こった出来事を題材としていることから、もっとも自伝的要素の強い作品といわれる。
