Love in the Palm of His Hand

Rinteku: Love in the Palm of His Hand 03

Love in the Palm of His Hand 03

Through sign language and acting, two young men seeking their places in the world discover a connection that transcends the spoken word. “I could only return to acting because there’s someone who believes in me.” Fujinaga is determined to give acting one last try as he performs in a stage play adaptation of a manga series, but his nerves get the better of him when he realizes that Keito will be there in the audience. While Fujinaga's talent is finally garnering him some public recognition, his worries and loneliness begin to eat him up from the inside. Can the special language he and Keito share form a bridge between them and help him resolve his frustrations? For Keito and Fujinaga, sign language will light the way along their journey of self-discovery and bind them together as nothing else can.

Love in the Palm of His Hand 02

Through sign language and acting, two young men seeking their places in the world discover a connection that transcends the spoken word. “To think that just what I’ve always wanted to hear would come from someone I just met.” Fujinaga is a university student who dreams of becoming an actor so he can do what he loves best—conveying emotion and story through physical expression.&nbsp;But after failing multiple auditions, his hopes are dashed and his confidence crushed. When he meets Keito, a fellow student with congenital hearing loss, Fujinaga is suddenly introduced to the world of sign language. Although clumsy at first, Fujinaga quickly picks up signing and surprises Keito with his astonishing talent of expressing emotions through action. Is it that only in a place beyond all verbal limitations can two people, both yearning to be understood, forge a bond they never expected?

Love in the Palm of His Hand 01

Dodging and Confronting Stigma examines the lives of people who were stigmatized or marginalized in Japan’s late classical and medieval ages. Often characterized as beggars, they in fact pursued a wide range of occupations and lifestyles, even while haunted by discrimination and exploitation. They developed skills, acquired property rights, and even manipulated the elite who controlled them, thereby achieving some degree of self-determination. Outcasts are frequently mentioned in the records of Buddhist temples, and the variety of references provides evidence for the many ways they participated in medieval religious life: as cleansers of pollution, as cremation and burial workers, as objects of salvific efforts—and as guards and enforcers in an increasingly militarized religious establishment. 	 	 	Complex and stratified, outcast society as a whole included people who demanded their rights through litigation and arms, just as did others in Japan’s medieval world. The emergence, especially in the late medieval age, of people who occupied marginal positions in society—neither wholly stigmatized nor wholly free of stigma—complicates the picture. Such marginal people included bearers of Japanese culture such as garden designers, theatrical performers, and shamans, making it impossible to simply write them off as social pariahs or victims of discrimination. Janet Goodwin demonstrates that outcast and marginal society was a complex one whose members fulfilled diverse functions necessary to medieval society, formed complex relationships with institutions and individuals of power, and made enduring contributions to medieval culture. 	 	 	Most studies of late classical and medieval Japan focus on elites: monarchs and courtiers, powerful warriors, and high-ranking religious figures. Indeed, these are the people who appear prominently in sources of the time. However, tantalizing pictures of outcast and marginal people appear in an array of sources such as aristocrats’ diaries, legal documents, tales, scrolls, and screen paintings, among others. In emphasizing people at the bottom of society and on its margins, and the ways that they dodged and confronted stigma, this book broadens the picture of Japanese society of the time.

I freed myself from your father, I thought this would be a new life for me and now it's starting all over, everything's starting all over again. The blazing new book from once-in-a-generation writer Édouard Louis, as he helps his mother escape from an abusive partner SELECTED AS A BOOK TO READ FOR 2026 BY THE FINANCIAL TIMES AND NEW STATESMAN One evening, during a writers' residency in Athens, Édouard receives a tearful phone call from his mother, Monique. She tells him that the man she lives with in Paris is abusive, inflicting upon her the same drunken behaviour as Édouard's father, repeating the same cycles of violence, shame and humiliation she fled from before. Step by step, they plan her escape, celebrating each small victory of Monique's new beginning. But how do you rebuild your life when you've never truly known freedom? Monique Escapes is an intimate and gripping portrait of a mother fighting for her self-determination, and of the son who becomes her ally. It is a story of reinvention, the price of liberty and the remaking of the relationship between a mother and a son who, despite the weight of their shared history, manage to find each other again. Translated by John Lambert 'One of the most important, politically vital and morally bracing writers of his generation' GUARDIAN 'I feel so lucky to be living and writing at the same time as Édouard Louis' MAGGIE NELSON 'One of the major writers of our time' GARTH GREENWELL

Melting Point

Driving Productivity reconstructs the industrial histories of the American and German automotive industries, offering a fresh perspective on their development. 
 
From the Fordist assembly line to Japanese lean production and Industry 4.0, Anthony J. Knowles critically examines major technical developments within the historical dynamics of capitalism. Both countries face the pressure to automate, transform labor, and increase efficiency, yet their responses differ due to divergent paradigms of integrating business, labor, and government. The book makes a strong case that improving productivity is a never-ending process that becomes a compulsory social imperative that industries must respond to but that is nevertheless responded to differently between countries.
