Story
「ドグラ・マグラ」をはじめとするユニークな作品でカルトな人気を集める作家、夢野久作が別名(海若藍平)で書いた童話。 お菓子が大好きな五郎さんは、ある日、家族が留守なのをいいことに、自分宛に届いた小包のお菓子を全部食べてしまいます。すると、大変!お菓子たちがお腹の中で舞踏会を開いて大騒ぎ!短いながら延べ15もキャラクターが登場するこの作品。林恭子はすべてのキャラクターの声音を使い分けることに挑戦。また、夢野久作らしいどこか不条理な雰囲気をこっそりと忍びこませることにも挑戦しました。仕掛けられた朗読者のたくらみを楽しんでください。(C)アイ文庫 「ことのは出版オーディオブック作品一覧はhttp://www.kotonoha.co.jpにて」

Story
継母に朝から晩まで家事を手伝わされ、夜は薄い布団で震えながら眠る露子さん。女学校への進学希望を伝えると、女の子に学問はいらぬとすげない返事。泣きながら布団に入ると、雨戸の中から調子の良い楽しげな音が。音の正体は、なんと赤い帽子を被り眼鏡をかけて本を読む不思議な虫……夢野久作、海若藍平名義の奇想天外な童話を、個性派朗読家・林恭子が生き生きと朗読しました。 【朗読者について】NPO法人現代朗読協会員の林恭子は、夢野久作の突拍子もない童話を好んで朗読してきました。出来すぎの継子におかしな虫を組み合わせた夢野久作らしい話を、「キキリココリ、ククリキキリ」といった擬音も楽しげに、単なる童話ではない表現で披露しています。 【アイ文庫について】 プロによる高品質な文芸朗読作品を制作しているアイ文庫。プロデューサーを務める小説家・音楽家の水城雄のもと、朗読を音声による芸術表現として捉え、演劇的な要素が特徴の朗読で魅せるアーティスト集団・NPO法人現代朗読協会とともに、意欲作の創造に取り組んでいます。 ☆ことのは出版オーディオブックの情報はhttp://www.kotonoha.co.jpにて

Story
誰もが知っているグリム兄弟の「白雪姫」を、「恩讐の彼方に」「真珠夫人」などで知られる菊池寛が子ども向けに訳しました。原作のもつ残酷な味わいも残しつつ、つっこみどころ満載の楽しい(?)お話になっていて、大人がしっかり楽しめます。冒頭の赤い血が白い雪に落ちる描写は、作品全体のイメージを余すところなく表していると言っていいでしょう。おどろおどろしさすら漂うムードたっぷりの朗読で、どうぞ。 【朗読者について】 夢野久作など少し不気味でドラマチックな作品を好んでとりあげている林恭子。今回、童話を選んだものの、やっぱりかわいいだけでは済みませんでした。七人の小人たちなどキャラクターを描き分けるのに苦しみつつも、時間をかけてオリジナリティに溢れる作品にしあげました。 「作品の詳細やことのは出版オーディオブック新着情報はhttp://www.kotonoha.co.jpにて公開中です」

ライン川のほとりの、ある城下町。何も持たずに世界中を飛び回る燕と、黄金や宝石を身にまとって街を見守り続ける銅像の王子が出会いました。動けない王子は燕に頼みます。私の体の金を剥がしてくれ、と……。王子の望みは、街の貧しい人々に自分の体の金や宝石を届ける事でした。燕は王子の頼みに応じ、街中の貧しい人々に金を配ることになります。しかし、冬になれば燕は南へと飛び立たねばなりません。やがて王子はもはや体中の金が剥がれ、みすぼらしい姿になっていました。そして、冬がやって来ました……。 オスカー・ワイルドの童話「幸福な王子」の明治の文学者・有島武郎による翻案を、現代朗読の旗手・林恭子が読みきりました。この超訳作品が内包する違和感を浮かびあがらせるような、独特のユニークな表現で児童のみならず大人も楽しめる朗読作品にしあがっています。

Because on this ordinary, short, domestic flight, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some, their death is far in the future—age 103!—and they laugh.

But it all pales compared to what Icarus and Daedalus discover on their 26,000-year journey to the center of the galaxy.

Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves...

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions—and feel incredible today—is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function—the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our wellbeing.

There is no bigger public health story now than the collapse in youth mental health. The numbers are terrifying and dominate our headlines. There has been much debate over how we got here, and what to do next, and bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is at the white-hot center of that discourse. Haidt has spent his career speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a public health emergency for Gen Z.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College―Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.
