宮崎県西部、険しい山の谷あいにある秘境・椎葉村。伝承によれば、壇ノ浦で敗れた平家が落ち延び隠れ住んだが、源頼朝の命で那須与一の弟・大八郎が追討にやって来る。が、狩猟や焼畑など、山の暮らしで精一杯で、戦闘意欲を捨てた落人達を見て、便宜を図り、ともに暮らしたという。大八郎は、落人達のために、平家繁栄のシンボル・厳島神社を勧請さえした。さらに、平家の女官である鶴富姫と結ばれ、一子設けたという。大八郎はやがて頼朝の召還命令により椎葉を去るが、鶴富姫は娘に婿を取り那須姓を継がせ、その子孫が代々椎葉の庄屋を継いだ。その那須家の江戸時代の邸が今も椎葉に残っており、「鶴富屋敷」と呼ばれている。しかし、この鶴富屋敷や、椎葉村北部の十根川集落は、斜面に石垣を築いて屋敷を構えており、まるで山城に見え、十分に戦闘意欲を感じさせる。十根川には、大八郎御手植えと伝わる樹齢八百年の杉が聳える十根川神社があるが、これは彼らが再起を図ることを誓った記念碑のようにも見える。神仏習合色を残した神楽や、呪術性の強い正月行事、猪のお供えなど、山深い地ゆえの独特の文化が見られ、柳田國男も「後狩詞記」を著し「日本民俗学発祥の地」と言われる椎葉。その源泉たる「落人のエネルギー」を探る。

熊本県南東部の五家荘は、険しい山に囲まれた秘境。壇ノ浦で敗れた平家が落ち延び隠れ住んだが、源頼朝の命を受けた那須与一の息子・小太郎が、追討にやって来た。それを知った鬼山御前なる平家の女官は、仲間を討たせまいと、何とか小太郎を引き留める。彼女は元の名を玉虫御前といい、那須与一が屋島で射た扇を、舟上で用意した女官であった。やがて二人は結ばれてここで暮らし、その子孫の那須家は今も続いている。彼女を祀る神社もあり、巨乳で乳の出も良かったという伝承により、乳の神として崇められている。また、五家荘という地名の由来は、五つの集落にそれぞれの庄屋がいるためで、うち三つが平家の子孫を名乗る。残り二つは、菅原道真の子孫という。藤原時平の讒言により左遷された道真は、大宰府で憤死したが、復讐を恐れた時平は二人の子らを討とうとした為、五家荘へ逃れ土着したと伝わる。こうして「落人の隠れ里」となった五家荘だが、やがて人口が増えて食糧が不足し、隠れ住むのも限界となり、武力で名を馳せた阿蘇大宮司家へ同盟を申し出て、武装化する。一般には戦を忘れて平和に暮らしたというイメージのある「落人の里」だが、実際には武装し、血筋の尊さを伝え、いつか再興する事を夢見続けた、覇気と執念に満ちた集落なのだ。「落人」の実態に迫り、その現代的意義を考える。

A year and a half into our marriage, I found out my husband had been having an affair with a 19-year-old for six months. I filed for divorce and left. Two weeks later I met a man, and we fell madly in love. It was a fairy-tale romance for a month and a half, and he convinced me to join him on a romantic month-long vacation in Italy. Forty-eight hours before we were supposed to get on a plane, he told me he needed to go by himself. I was devastated. So, I had a decision to make. Either stay home and be heartbroken, or go travel Europe for a month by myself.

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.

Bill Bryson is an unabashed Anglophile who, through a mistake of history, happened to be born and bred in Iowa. Righting that error, he spent 20 years in England before deciding to repatriate. This was partly to let his wife and children experience life in Bryson's homeland - and partly because he had read that 3.7 million Americans believed that they had been abducted by aliens at one time or another. It was thus clear to him that his people needed him. But before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire, Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain.

京都府丹後地方、日本三景・天橋立のすぐ北側に、丹後一宮・元伊勢籠神社（このじんじゃ）が建つ。伊勢の神宮・外宮の豊受姫神は、元々ここに鎮座していたとされ、天照大神も、宮中から出て伊勢の内宮に鎮まる前に、ここに数年祀られたという。宮司を代々世襲する海部氏は、神話に遡る非常に古い家柄であり、社宝にして国宝のその家系図は、現存では日本最古のもの。神社に受け継がれた二枚の鏡はそれぞれ前漢・後漢のものであり、出土品ではない伝世鏡としては、これも日本最古。また、元伊勢内宮・外宮と称する神社は、天橋立の南に聳える大江山の山中にも別にあり、「天の岩戸」も存在する。一方、大江山は、酒呑童子伝説で有名な鬼の住む山。しかも、大江山の「鬼」はそれだけではない。大和朝廷黎明期には、土蜘蛛・陸耳御笠（くがみみのみかさ）が丹後じゅうを転戦し大江山に入って消息不明になったといい、聖徳太子の弟・麻呂子皇子（まろこのみこ）が、大江山の悪鬼、英胡（えいこ）・軽足（かるあし）・土熊（つちぐま）を討ったという。伊勢の神宮発祥の地にして、三つの時代に渡り鬼が跋扈する魔界。聖と魔の交錯する根源に、古代「丹後王国」の繁栄を見る。

大分県南西部山間、竹田市や豊後大野市は、日本書紀や豊後国風土記に、土蜘蛛にまつわる伝承が数多く記されている地である。竹田市久住町の宮処野神社（みやこのじんじゃ）は、景行天皇が土蜘蛛征伐にあたり陣を構えた地とされる。そこから南に行軍したところ、土蜘蛛の抵抗に遭い、一旦退却した地が、同じ竹田市の城原八幡社（きばるはちまんしゃ）、その南西、やはり同じ市内の、阿蘇外輪山の麓の禰疑野神社（ねぎのじんじゃ）が、三人の精強な土蜘蛛、ウチサル、ヤタ、クニマロの本拠地で、三人はここで天皇に討たれたという。また、豊後大野市の知田（ちだ）は、アオ、シロという二人の土蜘蛛を討ち、血が大量に流れたので「血田」と呼ばれたのが地名の起源という。一方、豊後大野市には、景行天皇を食事でもてなした、シノカオキ、シノカオミという土蜘蛛の伝承もある。なぜ、この地域にはこんなにも土蜘蛛の伝承が多いのか。そのヒントは、山を越えた、熊本県側にあった。肥前国風土記は、禰疑野の土蜘蛛と同じウチサルという名の土蜘蛛が、熊本市近郊の山にいたと伝え、それを討ったのが、市内の健軍神社の祭神・タケオクミノミコトという。この二つのウチサル伝承地の中央には、阿蘇山が聳える。そこは、神代より戦国を経て今まで続く、阿蘇氏の治める地であった。九州土蜘蛛伝承の真相に迫る。
