Story
When Harold Ross founded The New Yorker in 1925, he described it as a “comic weekly.” And although it has become much more than that, it has remained true in its irreverent heart to the founder’s description, publishing the most illustrious literary humorists of the modern era. This anthology gathers together, for the first time, the funniest work of more than seventy New Yorker contributors.

Story
Turner Classic Movies offers an endlessly fascinating look at 52 beloved screen adaptations and the great reads that inspired them. Some films, like Clueless—Amy Heckerling’s interpretation of Jane Austen’s Emma—diverge wildly from the original source material, while others, like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, shift the point of view to craft a different experience within the same story. Author Kristen Lopez explores just what makes these works classics of both the page and screen, and why each made for an exceptional adaptation.

Story
16歳の今しか、語れない言葉がある。
2016年3月11日、「東日本大震災」から5年。
津波で甚大な被害を受けた宮城県東松島市に、ある3人の高校生がいる。
彼らは、あの日を「ただのつらかった過去」にせず、
「学び」に変えるために立ち上がった若き震災の語り部だ。
彼らはこの5年間、何を思い、何に迷い、歩んできたのか。
なぜ、わざわざあのつらかった日のことを語り出さなければならなかったのか。
そこには、あの震災で生き残った、彼らなりの使命感と葛藤が存在する。
あの日、まだ小学5年生だった子どもたちが歩んできた3.11の記録であり、彼らが見据える未来を書き留めた「希望の書」をご本人達が朗読します。Failed to add items
