Nearly seventy years after its original publication, Ray Bradbury’s internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before.

Guy Montage is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montage begins to question everything he has ever known.

世界最強のブランドは、いかにして生まれたか？　創業者が自ら語る、ナイキの創業秘話！1962年。ビジネススクールを卒業したばかりのフィル・ナイトは、父親から借りた50ドルを元手に、たった一つの使命を負った会社を作った。それは、ハイクオリティ・ローコストの運動靴を日本から仕入れること。愛車のプリムスのトランクから靴を売り、初年度で8000ドルを売り上げたナイト。そして今日、ナイキの年間売上は300憶ドルにのぼる。ナイキのロゴであるスウッシュは、世界中で親しまれる一大アイコンとなった。一方で、ナイキを創った人物の実像は常に謎に包まれてきた。創業者本人が初めて語る、ナイキ誕生の秘密。

In 1962, fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed $50 from his father and created a company with a simple mission: import highーquality, lowーcost athletic shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the boot of his Plymouth, Knight grossed $8000 in his first year. Today, Nike's annual sales top $30 billion. In an age of startーups, Nike is the ne plus ultra of all startーups, and the swoosh has become a revolutionary, globeーspanning icon, one of the most ubiquitous and recognisable symbols in the world today.But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always remained a mystery. Now, for the first time, he tells his story. Candid, humble, wry and gutsy, he begins with his crossroads moment when at 24 he decided to start his own business. He details the many risks and daunting setbacks that stood between him and his dream ー along with his early triumphs. Above all, he recalls how his first band of partners and employees soon became a tightーknit band of brothers. Together, harnessing the transcendent power of a shared mission, and a deep belief in the spirit of sport, they built a brand that changed everything.A memoir rich with insight, humour and hardーwon wisdom, this book is also studded with lessons ー about building something from scratch, overcoming adversity, and ultimately leaving your mark on the world.

Jessica thinks her life is over when she loses a leg in a car accident. She's not comforted by the news that she'll be able to walk with the help of a prosthetic leg. As she struggles to cope with crutches and a first cyborg-like prosthetic, Jessica feels oddly both in the spotlight and invisible.

Hiroshima is the story of six people - a clerk, a widowed seamstress, a physician, a Methodist minister, a young surgeon, and a German Catholic priest - who lived through the greatest single manmade disaster in history. In vivid and indelible prose, Pulitzer Prize - winner John Hersey traces the stories of these half - dozen individuals from 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, when Hiroshima was destroyed by the first atomic bomb ever dropped on a city, through the hours and days that followed. Almost four decades after the original publication of this celebrated book, Hersey went back to Hiroshima in search of the people whose stories he had told, and his account of what he discovered is now the eloquent and moving final chapter oh Hiroshima.

Persepolis is the story of Satrapi's unforgettable childhood and coming of age within a large and loving family in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution; of the contradictions between private life and public life in a country plagued by political upheaval; of her high school years in Vienna facing the trials of adolescence far from her family; of her homecomingーboth sweet and terrible; nd, finally, of her selfーimposed exile from her beloved homeland. It is the chronicle of a girlhood and adolescence at once outrageous and familiar, a young life entwined with the history of her country yet filled with the universal trials and joys of growing up.

Edgy, searingly observant, and candid, often heartbreaking but threaded throughout with raw humor and hardーearned wisdomーPersepolis is a stunning work from one of the most highly regarded, singularly talented graphic artists at work today.

Hat, ribbon, bird rose.

To the people on the island, a disappeared thing no longer has any meaning. It can be burned in the garden, thrown in the river or handed over to the Memory Police. Soon enough, the island forgets it ever existed.

When a young novelist discovers that her editor is in danger of being taken away by the Memory Police, she desperately wants to save him. For some reason, he doesn't forget, and it's becoming increasingly difficult for him to hide his memories. Who knows what will vanish next?

「それが、私の名だからだ！　私の人生を、他になんと名付け得よう！　私は偽り、また偽りに名を連ねる！　私には、吊るされた者たちの足についた塵ほどの価値もない！　名前なくして、私はどのように生きられるというのか？　私は魂を売り渡した…名前までは渡せない！」小さく、閉鎖的な集落の中で、噂と嘘は野火のように広がり、私怨を燃え上がらせる。やがて起こる告発と復讐の魔の手から、逃れられる者は誰もいない。1692年、セイレムに存在した清教徒のコミュニティで起きた魔女裁判を題材に、アーサー・ミラーが著した古典戯曲作品『るつぼ』。1950年代のアメリカに蔓延したマッカーシズムと抑圧的な文化のアレゴリーであると目されている本作は、1953年のブロードウェイでの公開以後、時代を超える強烈な存在感を放ち続けています。

Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!　In a small tight-knit community, gossip and rumour spread like wildfire, inflaming personal grievances until no-one is safe from accusation and vengeance.　The Crucible is Arthur Miller's classic dramatisation of the witch-hunt and trials that besieged the Puritan community of Salem in 1692. Seen as a chilling parallel to the McCarthyism and repressive culture of fear that gripped America in the 1950s, the play's timeless relevance and appeal remains as strong as when the play opened on Broadway in 1953.
