纪事本末体史书。清谷应泰(1620~1690)撰。记载始自元至正十二年(公元1352年)朱元璋起兵,止于崇祯十七年(公元1644年),李自成攻下北京。把这300年间的重要史事,分为80个专题。《明史纪事本末》大约告成于顺治十五年(1658年),较后来的《明史》早了八十多年出版,《明史》凡三百三十二卷,洋洋洒洒二百八十万字,又何尝有一语提到明与后金的关系?又何尝有一字涉及清军的暴行?正是由于谷应泰对这些问题的巧妙回避,《明史纪事本末》才得以刊行,并且躲过了清廷的文字狱之害。顺治十七年(1660年),谷应泰遭到御史黄文骥弹劾,指斥书中有违碍之处。经朝廷查阅,书中尚无不妥之处,后选入《四库全书》。
「無頼派」「新戯作派」の破滅型作家を代表する昭和初期の小説家、太宰治の長編小説。初出は「展望」[1948(昭和23)年]。自分の幸福の観念と世の中のそれが、まるでくい違っているような不安に悩む大庭葉蔵の半生を自意識過剰に描いた、太宰文学随一の傑作。臼井吉見が言うように、太宰文学の「最高のかたち」の「遺書」であるとともに、日本近代文学を代表する作品。幼少時より、強い自意識に苛まれ、人を恐れながらも愛を求め続ける葉蔵。堕ちてゆく魂の行方は…。太宰の最高傑作との評価も高い自伝的作品。

Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. Orwell, a democratic socialist, was a critic of Joseph Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, an attitude that was critically shaped by his experiences during the Spanish Civil War.
