Goethe was probably the greatest universal genius who ever lived. Although known primarily as a poet, playright, and novelist, he was also known for his work in anatomy, botany, color, art criticism, and jurisprudence. Many people are deterred from attempting to read anything by Goethe because of his extremely penetrating intelligence and dense prose. But his travel diary, Italian Journey, is by far easier to digest than anything else by him.

Long overshadowed by Japan and China, South Korea is a small country that happens to be one of the great national success stories of the postwar period. From a failed state with no democratic tradition, ruined and partitioned by war, and sapped by a half-century of colonial rule, South Korea transformed itself in just 50 years into an economic powerhouse and a democracy that serves as a model for other countries. With no natural resources and a tradition of authoritarian rule, Korea managed to accomplish a second Asian miracle.

Published just months before his death in 1768, A Sentimental Journey is Sterne's lightly fictionalised account of his own European travels; and being Sterne, it is more about digressions, misunderstandings and risqué jokes than the places he visits. Narrated by the (apparently) innocent Parson Yorick, who appeared in Sterne's other masterpiece, Tristram Shandy, it is full of anecdote and incident, and is far more about the people than the landscapes on the road from Calais.

根源的な宗教、信仰では、シャーマンによる神憑りが重視され、 神が己の内に入る神憑りは、セックスと極めて近い性質があるものとされた。 さればこそ、巫女やシャーマンの多くは女性なのである。 即ち、女性には神性があると、古来より考えられて来た。 一方、神社には女性の巫女に対し、男性の神主がいる。 洋の東西を問わず、シャーマンが女性であるのに対し、聖職者の主体は男性だ。 これは、シャーマンを重視する古代のカオスな信仰が、 文明的な、秩序立ったコスモスの宗教へと変化していった結果である。 日本においては、卑弥呼のようなシャーマンの信仰が、律令制の施行を経て、 当時の先進国である隋・唐から見て文明的ととらえ得る、秩序立った宗教へ変化する。 現代まで続く神主の服制が、平安時代の官吏の服制に準ずることもそれを物語る。 しかし、そこからはみ出した卑弥呼的シャーマンの継承者達もいた。 体制に「まつろわぬ」人々が、「歩き巫女」のような漂泊のシャーマンであり、 津軽のイタコや吉備津のアゾメは、現代まで残った彼女達の末裔である。 伝承の「土蜘蛛」や「鬼女紅葉」等、シャーマン的女性には「まつろわぬ」風があるが、 それはカオスで根源的な神との一体化を司る女性シャーマンが、 秩序立った文明的男性の宗教に「まつろわぬ」からだ。 神とは不条理である。だからこそ信仰される。理屈の通じない、不条理な自然に対し、...

In 1935, Fred A. Birchmore left the small American town of Athens, Georgia, to continue his college studies in Europe. In his spare time, Birchmore toured the continent on a one-speed bike he called Bucephalus (after the name of Alexander the Great's horse). A born wanderer, Birchmore broadened his travels to include the British Isles and even the Mediterranean. After a lengthy, unplanned detour in Egypt, Birchmore put his studies on hold, pointed Bucephalus eastward, and just kept going. 

For the past 50 years, Paul Theroux has travelled to the far corners of the Earth - to China, Africa, the Pacific Islands, Russia, and elsewhere. In Deep South, he turns his gaze to a region much closer to his home. Travelling through North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas, he writes of the stunning landscapes he discovers - the deserts, the mountains, the Mississippi - and, above all, the lives of the people he meets.

With superb skill and feeling, Graham Greene retraces the experiences and encounters of his extraordinary life. His restlessness is legendary; as if seeking out danger, Greene travelled to Haiti during the nightmare rule of Papa Doc, Vietnam in the last days of the French, Kenya during the Mau Mau rebellion. With ironic delight he recalls his time in the British Secret Service in Africa and his brief involvement in Hollywood. He writes, as only he can, about people and places, faith, doubt, fear and not least, the trials and craft of writing.

源頼朝が幕府を開いた古都・鎌倉。その一角に、鎌倉宮なる神社が建つ。祭神は、大塔宮護良親王。紀伊半島の山中を転戦し、鎌倉幕府討幕に大きく貢献した、後醍醐天皇の皇子だ。その功により征夷大将軍に任じられたが、足利尊氏と対立、後醍醐天皇とも反目した為、失脚。皇位簒奪の罪を着せられて捕えられ、鎌倉へ送られた。鎌倉では尊氏の弟・直義が身柄を預かったが、鎌倉幕府の執権・北条氏の残党が反乱を起こすと、将軍に擁立される可能性があったため、直義の手の者に殺害されてしまう。その愛妾・雛鶴姫が落ち延び、子を産んで亡くなったという伝説は、「其之四拾六山梨・上野原　南朝悲話と弔いの舞」で取り上げた。その護良親王を、「王政復古」を成し遂げ南朝正統を打ち立てた明治政府により祀ったのが、鎌倉宮である。その境内には、古くより護良親王が幽閉されたと伝えられる土牢がある。史実かどうかは定かでなく、皇族の扱いとしてはあまりに酷い点も疑問だが、崇徳院や菅原道真と並ぶ大怨霊ともされたことを考えれば、頷けなくもない。このような鎌倉宮であるが、一方で、厄除の御利益があると強く信仰されてもいる。鎌倉宮の獅子頭のお守りのおかげで、九死に一生を得たという報告も境内に掲示してある。宗教と政治・軍事、あるいはご利益信仰といった、鎌倉宮を巡る諸事象を考察する。

Cheese Trekking recounts the author’s experiences visiting pastoral communities and cheesemakers in various countries and explains how cheeses can be local manifestations while also representing global archetypes, strategies that have been adopted in many places. It describes the constellations (a range of complementary milk foods that utilize all byproducts of cheesemaking) of various regions through a wide-angle lens. The central premise is that milk has a terroir, born from the plants and ecology of a landscape, that is concentrated via ruminant digestion and lactation.
