The dour, Mr. Darcy is anything but popular with the Bennets, especially when he fancies a member of their clan. And as Elizabeth reluctantly deals with Mr. Darcy’s advances, their romance seems destined to fail. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice set the standard for romantic comedies when it debuted in 1813, and it still speaks to audiences worldwide through countless adaptations.

Set in New York during the Jazz Age, this new adaptation tells the tragic tale of self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby. Consumed with desire for his former lover, Daisy Buchanan, Gatsby draws new neighbor Nick Carraway into his desperate pursuit to win her back—and into their world of lavish wealth, wild parties, and free-flowing liquor.

Jerusha "Judy" Abbott's life is drastically changed one day when a mysterious and rich benefactor scoops her up from an orphanage - the only home she has ever known - and offers to pay her way through college. Her benefactor has many requests, the two most important being that she uses this opportunity to become a writer, and that she writes him monthly to update him on her studies.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

・ひそやかな交換 もうじき、六十三回目の誕生日を迎える。気がついたらそんな年齢になっていた。還暦を過ぎてからは、毎年の誕生日の意味が少し変わったように思える。 　それまでは、ひとつひとつ齢（よわい）を重ねるといった積み立て型だった人生が、還暦以後は積み立てた貯蓄を、ひとつひとつ引き出してそれを別なものと交換しているような心もちになってくる。 　積み立てた年齢はいったい何と交換できるのだろう。もとより、交換したからといって手元から年齢がひとつ無くなるわけではない。等価交換とは違う交換なのである。 　一方では確実に馬齢を重ねている。 　だが、もう一方でひそやかな交換が行われている。 　交換することによって減じるのは、積み立てた年齢ではなく、残余の時間なのかもしれない。　ここのところの機微が、うまく言葉にならない。(本文より)内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html
