Join us for an exciting Meetup where we combine language exchange with exploring literature. This event is perfect for language enthusiasts and bookworms looking to enhance their language skills while discussing fascinating books.

This month, we will be discussing Exhalation by Ted Chiang.

A portal through time forces a fabric seller in ancient Baghdad to grapple with past errors and the temptation of second chances; an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications not just for his own people, but for all of reality; a newfound ability to glimpse into alternate universes forces a radical re-examination of the concepts of choice and free will.

In Exhalation, Ted Chiang addresses the most fundamental of issues – What is the nature of the universe? What does it mean to be human? – alongside others that no one else has even imagined. Each in its own way, the stories prove that complex and thoughtful science fiction can rise to new heights of beauty, meaning and compassion.

今月は、テッド・チャンの『息吹』を取り上げます。

古代バグダッドの織物商人は、タイムトラベルのポータルによって過去の過ちと二度目のチャンスへの誘惑に翻弄される。異星人の科学者は、自らの民のみならず現実世界全体に影響を及ぼす衝撃的な発見をする。異星の宇宙を垣間見る新たな能力は、選択と自由意志の概念を根本的に再考させる。

テッド・チャンは『Exhalation』の中で、宇宙の本質とは何か?人間であることの意味とは何か?といった最も根源的な問いに、誰も想像すらしなかった問いを投げかける。そして、それぞれの物語は、複雑で思慮深いSFが、美しさ、意味、そして慈悲の新たな高みに到達できることを証明している。
