Kafka is one of 161 inspired-and inspiring-minds, among them, novelists, poets, playwrights, painters, philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians, who describe how they subtly maneuver the many (self-inflicted) obstacles and (self-imposed) daily rituals to get done the work they love to do, whether by waking early or staying up late; whether by self-medicating with doughnuts or bathing, drinking vast quantities of coffee, or taking long daily walks.

A powerful, blazingly honest memoir: the story of an 1100-mile solo hike that broke down a young woman reeling from catastrophe and built her back up again. At 22, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. After her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she decided to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State - alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than an idea: vague, outlandish, and full of promise.

Written between 1717 and 1790, and originally referred to by its author as simply Memoirs, Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography is considered the pioneering example of the genre. In this influential account of the American Dream in action, Franklin recounts his early life, his inventions, his quest for virtue and self-improvement, and his political achievements. The unfinished work is a vivid depiction of life in early America, as well as a relatable and inspiring portrait of one of its revolutionary thinkers.

このオーディオブックが生まれたのは、1枚のSPレコードと出会ったことが、きっかけでした。それは、1931年に録音されたマハトマ・ガンディーの、世界に2つしか残っていない英語のスピーチでした。何とかこのスピーチを日本語で聴きたい、そう思いました。やがて大阪女学院大学の友野先生とゼミの学生達や他の先生方を巻き込んで、ようやくかたちになりました。音源から英語の文章を起こし、さらに翻訳するという作業は、6分程のスピーチとはいえ、大変な手間を要する仕事になりました。日本語訳の朗読は声優の神谷明さんが、協力を申し出て頂けるなど、大勢のみなさまのご協力をいただきました。このオーディオブックには、ガンディーの英語のスピーチと神谷明さんの日本語訳の朗読、それに、このスピーチに関する解説や翻訳に関わった学生達へのインタビューや主導した友野先生のお話等が収められています。まだ一度も日本語に翻訳されていないこのスピーチを、是非聴いてみて下さい。(C)PAMLINK

Tara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days but, according to the government, she didn’t exist. She hadn’t been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she’d never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn’t believe in hospitals. As she grew older, her father became more radical and her brother more violent. At 16, Tara knew she had to leave home. In doing so she discovered both the transformative power of education, and the price she had to pay for it.

Few entrepreneurs can claim to have radically changed the way we live, and Ray Kroc is one of them. His revolutions in food-service automation, franchising, shared national training, and advertising have earned him a place beside the men and women who have founded not only businesses, but entire empires. But even more interesting than Ray Kroc the business man is Ray Kroc the man. Not your typical self-made tycoon, Kroc was 52 years old when he opened his first franchise.
