Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway.（あなたの心が正しいと思うことをしなさい。どっちにしたって批判されるのだから。）---- Eleanor Roosevelt

The Wife 天才作家の妻 -40年目の真実-

A wife questions her life choices as she travels to Stockholm to see her husband receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. After nearly forty years of marriage, Joan（Glenn Close／グレン･クローズ）and Joe Castleman（Jonathan Pryce／ジョナサン･プライス）are complements. Where Joe enjoys his public role as a great American novelist, Joan pours her considerable intellect, grace, charm, and diplomacy into the private role of his wife. This film interweaves the story of the couple's youthful passion and ambition with a portrait of a marriage, lifetime's shared compromises, secrets, betrayals, and mutual love.

The Recycling Party リサイクル･パーティー

"The Recycling Party" with my translation has been published this week. The author, Dr. Anat Gonen, is an architect and urban planner, and promotes environmental initiatives. She describes ways of reusing everyday products in a playful, imaginative and creative way in this book, and the book was amazingly illustrated by Yaara Eshet, whose illustrations were exhibited in the museum. I sincerely hope both children and adults will enjoy this adorable story about Benjy and Emma, who revive used containers, newspapers, and even furniture, both in English and Japanese.
今週、翻訳いたしました『リサイクル･パーティー』が出版されました。建築家であり、都市設計家でもある著者、アナト･ゴネン博士は、環境事業を振興しており、本書では毎日使う日用品の再利用法を遊び心と想像力に満ちた表現で描かれています。すばらしいイラストはヤーラ･エシェット氏によるもので、彼女の作品は美術館に展示されていました。 使い古された容器や新聞、さらには家具までもよみがえらせてしまうベンジーとエマについての可愛らしい物語を、英語と日本語のバイリンガルで子供も大人もお楽しみいただければ幸甚です。

I sincerely hope both children and adults can enjoy this adorable little gem both in English and Japanese.
