Strong in the Rain' is arguably the most famous and most memorized poem in modern Japan. It is a kind of compassionate incantation that symbolizes qualities of empathy and love for humanity. After the disaster of 11 March 2011, it was taken up by millions of Japanese as the single work that best expressed their deep feelings of consolation and hopes for recovery. 'The Nighthawk Star' is a beloved story among Japanese of all ages. It resembles, in some ways, Andersen's 'The Ugly Duckling', but goes further in its message of sacrifice for the good of all. Kenji was a vegetarian in his adult life and believed that all life--animal and plant--was sacred. He is one of the world's oldest advocates of animal welfare. This book is Dual Language, and ideal for beginner to intermediate students of both English and Japanese. 「雨ニモマケズ」と「よだかの星」 ロジャー・パルバース訳、ルーシー・パルバースの挿絵、読みやすい英語と原文が両方楽しめる！
