• 日本語の美しさを知る

  この本の中に、日本語の「さようなら」の美しさをたたえた文章があります。 「さようなら」という別れの言葉の本来の意味は「そうせねばならぬなら」。 これは、ドイツ語やフランス語のそれである「また会う日まで」よりも よほど真実を裏切っていないと、著者は述べています。 また会えるかどうかわからないのに、また会う日までしばしのお別れですね。と言うか。 それとも、別れねばならぬなら、ここでお別れですね。と言うか。 日本語は曖昧な言葉で偽善的、と言われているし、そう感じたこともありましたが 本当は誠実で、それでいて人への気遣いのある言葉なのかもしれません。 日本語を見直し、これからは本当の心を表すべく使っていこう、と思いました。 ちなみに、この本は表紙のデザインも素敵です。

• 印字が汚くて残念

  邦訳 『翼よ、北に』 の原書ペーパーバックです。 他の版にもレビューが載ってしまうので、このレビューは (Harvest Paperback) [ペーパーバック] 版に関してであることを先に記しておきます。 表紙はコーティングの光沢あるものできれい。本文の紙質も良い。 しかし印字は潰れかかったような汚いものです。また邦訳で約250ページの内容がこの本では約150ページに収められており、文字は窮屈に詰め込まれています。 そういう点で読んでいての快適さは低いです。 同じ著者のGift from the Sea （PANTHEON BOOKS） は余裕のある文字組みに印字もきれいで読みやすかったので、それと比較すると本の作りは劣りますね。

• Good book

• Anne Morrow Lindbergh is a gifted writer

  I've read several of Anne Lindbergh's books including "Listen the Wind" and "Bring Me a Unicorn." I bought this book to learn more of their flight to Japan and China. Anne was a practical lady performing navigation and radio operator duties from the back seat of the Lockheed Sirrus they were flying. It is a good insight to aviation of that era.

• bought for the wife- she loved it

  My wife was doing research on Charles Lindbergh and came across a book about Anne Lindbergh. She was interested in how controlling and demanding Charles was but how accepting and triumphant Anne was. Then she found out there were books written by Anne and indicated she wanted to read one. She liked this book so she is now looking for others. They are hard to find since they are no longer published. My wife recommends this book if you are interested in how Anne was able to overcome learning how to fly, how to navigate and how to work with Charles

• Anne Morrow Lindbergh would, I feel, have been ...

  Anne Morrow Lindbergh would, I feel, have been a successful, published writer eventually even if she had never married Charles Lindbergh. This book, of course, is about one of her trips with him, so it is doubly interesting. She writes extremely well. It is still worth reading and reflecting on people's adventures to see what motivated them to try and what they did to succeed once they had the idea.
