Minako (TANAKA Yuko), begins her day running up and down the hills of her hometown delivering milk door to door. When that's done, she heads to her day job as a supermarket cashier. Minako is 50 and single. In one of the houses to which she delivers milk is a man with whom she has secretly been in love since high school. The man, Keita (KISHIBE Ittoku), lives with his wife Yoko, who is terminally ill. Caring for her at home, he works in the children's affairs section of the local municipal office. Though he insists that he wants nothing more than an "ordinary" existence, his life is in turmoil below the surface. The director uses a variety of narrative devises to portray the loneliness, isolation, and hope of these people who have seemingly allowed their goals and dreams to slip away, whilst keeping them agonizingly close to hand.

《论摄影》不仅是一本论述摄影者的经典著作，而且是一本论述广泛意义上的现代文化的经典著作。它不是一本专业著作，书中也没有多少摄影术语，尽管有志于摄影者，应人手一册。它的对象主要是知识分子、作家和文化人。
桑塔格深入探讨摄影的本质，包括摄影是不是艺术，摄影与绘画的相互影响，摄影与真实世界的关系，摄影的捕食性和侵略性。摄影表面上是反映现实，但实际上摄影影像自成一个世界，一个影像世界，企图取代真实世界。
对读者而言，这本书的丰富性和深刻性不在于桑塔格得出什么结论，而在于她的论述过程和解剖方法。这是一种抽丝剥茧的论述，一种冷静而锋利的解剖。精彩纷呈，使人目不暇接。桑塔格一向以庄严的文体著称，但她的挖苦和讽刺在这本著作中亦得到了充分的发挥。
《论摄影》出版于一九七七年，轰动一时，引起广泛的讨论，并荣获当年的全国图书批评界奖，至今仍被誉为“摄影界的《圣经》”。
本版配以60余幅世界摄影史上的珍贵照片，推出极具艺术品位与收藏价值的“插图珍藏本”，使《论摄影》真正成为图文并茂的文化经典。

1996 film by Shunji Iwai

这是一本独特的政治学兼文学著作，旨在讽刺英国文官制度。以一位大臣的亲身阅历展现英国官僚政治内幕。同名BBC电视剧曾在全球热播（当年在中国播出的“正大综艺版”也成为一代人追忆的经典），本书和续篇《是！首相》也在全世界风行。
“从这本写实的书中读者可以欣赏到圆熟的套语，逗乐的幽默、奇妙的行话，以及一连串非加注释不能懂的缩略语。书中每一章节都构成一个完整的故事，且情节曲折，引人入胜。”
