In "The Waste Land,” T. S. Eliot’s eulogy for all that is buried after World War I, April promises a flowering. But as the world mourns the spirit of a bygone era, what future can emerge from the cold, dead, infertile ground? Doubt and fear grip the narrator, too, in “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” - a self-examination of an anxious, overeducated man unable to act against feelings of paralyzing impotence.

A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given at Girton College Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics. Woolf's blazing polemic on female creativity, the role of the writer, and the silent fate of Shakespeare's imaginary sister remains a powerful reminder of a woman's need for financial independence and intellectual freedom.

To the Lighthouse is a landmark work of English fiction. Virginia Woolf explores perception and meaning in some of the most beautiful prose ever written, minutely detailing the characters thoughts and impressions. This unabridged version is read by Juliet Stevenson.

At the beginning of his career, Joseph Campbell developed a lasting fascination with the cultures of the Far East, and explorations of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy later became recurring motifs in his vast body of work. However, Campbell had to wait until middle age to visit the lands that inspired him so deeply. In 1954, he took a sabbatical from his teaching position and embarked on a year-long voyage through India, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and finally Japan.

In this new recording, Paapa Essiedu breathes new life into the classic tale. Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy follows a respectable London lawyer as he investigates the strange relationship between his old friend Dr Henry Jekyll and the evil Edward Hyde. Its sensitive portrayal of man's dual nature is moving, beautiful and terrifying in equal measure.

This classic work by psychologist and social philosopher Eric Fromm builds upon his previous popular book To Have or to Be? The Art of Being teaches us to avoid the tantalizing illusions of our consumer-driven world by learning to function as a whole person from a state of inner completeness or being. The transition from an identity of having to being creates a state of enlightened psychological and spiritual happiness.

A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the novel introduces two of Hemingway's most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates.

■“腑に落ちる”思想 今、晶文社から『吉本隆明全集』が刊行されています。 私は、ぜひ若い人にも一度は吉本さんの思想と向き合ってほしいと思います。 ただ、いきなり『共同幻想論』を読んでも、分からないかもしれません。 私たちの世代は、中心的な論考の間に彼の講演や主宰した「試行」に書いていた彼の雑文を読みながら、本当に彼がいわんとしていたことが何なのかを理解していった共時的な過程に恵まれました。だから、私たちの年代は、だいたい同じように吉本思想を理解し、そして強く影響を受けたのだと思います。吉本さんに限っては、他の方の吉本論を読んで、あまり違和感を感じないで済むのです。これはちょっと不思議なことです。(本文より))内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

Ceci est un enregistrement exceptionnel avec la voix d'Antonin Artaud. "Pour en finir avec le jugement de dieu", est une création radiophonique du poète français Antonin Artaud. Les textes étaient lus par Maria Casarès, Roger Blin, Paule Thévenin et l'auteur. L'accompagnement était composé de cris, de battements de tambour et de xylophone enregistrés par l'auteur lui-même. Figure emblématique de l'artiste incompris, l'œuvre d'Antonin Artaud vise un absolu qui n'a convaincu que très peu de personnes de son vivant.
