Coffee to Zuihitsu

[Machine Translation] Yuji Shono of Aalto Coffee, a popular roastery in Tokushima, and the author of "Coffee Picture Book", who has a deep knowledge of modern literature, has carefully selected essays to read while drinking coffee. A sister book to "Coffee and Novels," which was a great success, the two books can be enjoyed many times more if read in succession. As in the previous volume, the cover photo features popular singer-songwriter Yuko Ando as a symbol of the attractive women who appear in the book. The 20 essays are extremely interesting and easy to read, and resonate with those of us living in the modern age. Please enjoy them over a cup of coffee. New things get old, but good things never get old. People have never changed. Whether people read it a hundred years ago or a hundred years from now, they will probably laugh at the same parts and cry at the same parts. It would be my greatest pleasure if you could enjoy the sincere words of our great predecessors with a cup of coffee.
