Description

[Machine Translation] We have collected 50 words from GAMAKU and Frog-kun that we would like to encounter again now that we have grown up. GAMAKU is a shy and laid-back person, and Frog is a good-natured and active person. The two good friends talk gently to each other, encourage each other when they make mistakes, and sometimes talk to themselves. Their words, simple and casual but touching, have been selected from 50 of the 20 stories in the series to be published in a book. Since the publication of "futari wa tomodachi" in 1970 (Japanese edition published by Bunka Publishing Bureau in 1972), the "Gamakun to kaerukun" series, which depicts the funny but warm friendship between two frogs, has been a long seller that has delighted children around the world. In Japan, "futari to kaeru-kun" has long been included in Japanese language textbooks for second grade elementary school students. The English original, illustrations, and author Taku Miki's excellent translation make "The Philosophy of Frogs" an enjoyable read. At the end of the book, there is a message from Mr. Miki for today's readers. The book is paperback size and designed to be kept close by. It would also make a great gift for a loved one.

Description in Japanese

かえるの哲学 / アーノルド・ローベル/文・絵 三木卓/訳

大人になった今もう一度出会いたい、がまくんとかえるくんの50の言葉を集めました。内気でのんびり屋のがまくんと、お人好しで行動派のかえるくん。仲良しのふたりは、やさしく相手に語りかけ、失敗すれば励まし、ときに独りごちます。シンプルで何気ないのに心にしみる、そんな彼らの言葉を、シリーズ全20作のお話の中から50選んで一冊の本にしました。ふたりのかえるのおかしくもあたたかい友情の日々を描いた「がまくんとかえるくん」シリーズは、1970年の『ふたりはともだち』(日本語版は1972年文化出版局より)刊行以来、世界中の子どもたちを楽しませてきたロングセラー。日本では長らく、小学2年生の国語の教科書に採用されている名作ですが、大人になって久しぶりに「がまくんとかえるくん」の言葉に触れ、子ども時代とは違う感動を覚える方も多いようです。英語の原文と絵、そして作家の三木卓さんによる名訳で味わう「かえるの哲学」。巻末には、現代の読者たちに向けた三木さんからのメッセージも収録しています。文庫サイズで、いつもそばに置いておきたいデザイン。大切なひとへのプレゼントにも、ぜひどうぞ。
