Kiseki No Kyoshitsu Echi Sensei to "Gin No Saji" No Kodomo Tachi Densetsu No Nada Ko Kokugo Kyoshi Hashimoto Takeshi No Ryugi (Shogakukan Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Takeshi Hashimoto is now 100 years old. After the war, he started a class at Nada Junior High School, which was regarded as a stopgap measure for public schools, in which he read only the paperback book "The Silver Spoon" over a period of three years. In 30 years, only 1,000 students have been able to take Hashimoto's class, in which the story of a frail boy's growth is carefully retold in a sidetracked manner. In the third round of "The Silver Spoon" classes, the class that graduated in 1968 became the first private school in Japan to pass the entrance exam for Tokyo University. This book analyzes a year-long interview with Takeshi Hashimoto and his students to learn how the class gave them the "curiosity to keep learning all their lives without burning out," and how they are now opening up new paths in the real world that are not covered in textbooks. This inspiring nonfiction book, which sparked the slow-reading boom, is finally available in paperback.
