徒然草 第百十九段

2021年09月28日 | 徒然草を読む


【原文】  
 鎌倉の海に、鰹と言ふ魚は、かの境には、さうなきものにて、この比もてなすものなり。それも、鎌倉の年寄の申し侍りしは、「この魚、己れら若かりし世までは、はかばかしき人の前へ出づる事侍らざりき。頭は、下部も食はず、切りて捨て侍りしものなり」と申しき。
 かやうの物も、世の末になれば、上ざままでも入りたつわざにこそ侍れ。 

【現代語訳】  
鎌倉の海を泳いでいる鰹という魚は、この地方では高級魚として最近の流行になっている。その鰹も、鎌倉の爺様が言うには「この魚も、おいら達が若い頃には、真っ当な人間の食卓に出ることも無かったべよ。頭はゴミあさりでも切り取って捨てていたっぺ」と話していた。
そんな魚も世紀末になれば、金持ちの食卓に出されるようになった。

◆鎌倉末期の随筆。吉田兼好著。上下2巻,244段からなる。1317年(文保1)から1331年(元弘1)の間に成立したか。その間,幾つかのまとまった段が少しずつ執筆され,それが編集されて現在見るような形態になったと考えられる。それらを通じて一貫した筋はなく,連歌的ともいうべき配列方法がとられている。形式は《枕草子》を模倣しているが,内容は,作者の見聞談,感想,実用知識,有職の心得など多彩であり,仏教の厭世思想を根底にもち,人生論的色彩を濃くしている。

東野圭吾の最新長編書き下ろしは、「家族」の物語。

「死んだ人のことなんか知らない。
あたしは、誰かの代わりに生まれてきたんじゃない」
ある殺人事件で絡み合う、容疑者そして若き刑事の苦悩。
どうしたら、本当の家族になれるのだろうか。

閑静な住宅街で小さな喫茶店を営む女性が殺された。
捜査線上に浮上した常連客だったひとりの男性。
災害で二人の子供を失った彼は、深い悩みを抱えていた。
容疑者たちの複雑な運命に、若き刑事が挑む。

1958年、大阪府生まれ。大阪府立大学電気工学科卒業後、生産技術エンジニアとして会社勤めの傍ら、ミステリーを執筆。1985年『放課後』(講談社文庫)で第31回江戸川乱歩賞を受賞、専業作家に。1999年『秘密』(文春文庫)で第52回日本推理作家協会賞、2006年『容疑者χの献身』(文春文庫)で第134回直木賞、第6回本格ミステリ大賞、2012年『ナミヤ雑貨店の奇蹟』(角川書店)で第7回中央公論文芸賞、2013年『夢幻花』(PHP研究所)で第26回柴田錬三郎賞、2014年『祈りの幕が下りる時』で第48回吉川英治文学賞を受賞。

【読んだ理由】
久しぶりの「東野圭吾」作品

【最も印象に残った一行】
刑事というのは、真相を解明すればいいというものではない。取調室ではなく、本人たちによって引き出されるべき真実もある。その見極めに頭を悩ませるのが、いい刑事だ。

やはり素晴らしい作品だ。「東野圭吾」作品は。
