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.

鳥取県南東部の八頭町には、古事記の「因幡の白兎」神話とは異なる白兎神話が伝わっている。神代、近隣の霊石山に天照大神が降臨し、どこからともなく現れた白兎の導きで、仮宮にふさわしい場所に着いたというもの。白兎は気が付いたら姿を消していたが、実はこの白兎こそ、天照大神の弟・月読神の化身だった。そこで、八頭町の中心地である郡家(こおげ)周辺数村では、月読神を道祖白兎大明神と称し、氏神として崇めたという。郡家という地名の通り、古代には朝廷の郡衙(ぐんが）があった場所で、その遺跡や白鳳時代の廃寺跡も発見されている。このあたりには今も白兎神社が数社点在しているが、その総鎮守であった神社は、明治の神社合祀で近隣の神社に一度合祀されている。一方立派であった社殿は惜しまれ、近くの成田山青龍寺に引き取られた。そのため、本堂内に社殿を安置し、その中に本尊を祀るという、特異な寺院になっている。近隣には、寺院の境内に残っている白兎神社もあり、当地の白兎信仰は、神仏習合、分離、神社合祀などの影響を強く受けている事が分かる。町内には隼神社という神社もあるが、神社に由来する隼の地名と、隼という駅もあり、その駅は鉄道とバイクと「萌え」が混在する、現代における「習合」が現在進行形で見られる場所である。白兎神話の町に「習合」文化の精髄を見る。

One grey dismal day, Janine Marsh was on a trip to northern France to pick up some cheap wine. She returned to England a few hours later having put in an offer on a rundown old barn in the rural Seven Valleys area of Pas de Calais. This was not something she'd expected or planned for. Janine eventually gave up her job in London to move with her husband to live the good life in France. Or so she hoped. While getting to grips with the locals and la vie Française, and renovating her dilapidated new house, a building lacking the comforts of mains drainage, heating, or proper rooms.
