タイトル: Proses: Incomparable Parables! Fabulous Fables! Cruel Tales!著者: Garrett Caples出版社: Wave Books出版日: 2024年05月14日古本非常に良い。端が少し摩耗しているが、汚れのないきれいな本。製本状態は良好。ダスト ジャケットが付属している場合は、それも含まれます。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。In the grand tradition of poet's fiction, Proses: Incomparable Parables! Fabulous Fables! Cruel Tales! is a collection of nine phantasmagorical stories by beloved poet and City Lights editor, Garrett Caples.Resolutely turning its back on the ethos of traditional narrative, Proses draws on Marcel Schwob, magical realism, and speculative fiction for inspiration, projecting worlds dominated by dream logic and impossible (and often hilarious) dimensions. Spectral nuns, xenobots, explosive phraseology, and even Ringo Starr are just some of the unexpected dilemmas confronting the various protagonists of Proses. Poets such as Andrew Joron, Kit Schluter, and Claude Grind of Verdoux Books, make cameo appearances--including, at times, Caples himself! While each story is a standalone, the collection amounts to an intricate whole, as themes, objects, and even characters recur, encouraging readers to enjoy the book sequentially. Regardless of how it is enjoyed, Proses is at once a satire of the world of contemporary poetry and publishing and a celebration of that world's fantastic and infinite imagination.

It is the story of a flower that has made men mad. Greed, desire, anguish, devotion have all played their part in the development of the tulip from a wild flower of the Asian steppes to the world-wide phenomenon it is today. The U.S. alone imports three billion tulip bulbs each year, Germany and France even more.Why did the tulip dominate so many lives through so many centuries in so many countries? The author, a self-confessed tulipomaniac, has spent six years looking for answers. No other flower has ever carried so much cultural baggage; it charts political upheavals, illuminates social behavior, mirrors economic booms and busts, plots the ebb and flow of religious persecution.The tulip made great fortunes for people but was responsible for equally spectacular bankruptcies. Millions of "aficionados" now gaze in awe at the brilliant flower pieces painted in the early seventeenth century by masters such as Ambrosius Bosschaert. But at the time they were painted, these works or art were considered as cheap substitutes for the real flowers. Even Jan van Huysum, the grand master of Dutch flower painting, could rarely command more than 5,000 guilders for a painting. But at auction in Alkmaar, Holland in 1637, a single bulb of the red-and-white tulip "Admiral Liefkens' changed hands for 4,400 guilders.Roaming through Asia, India, Russia and the Ottoman Empire, the author tells how the tulip arrived from Turkey and took the whole of Western Europe by storm. In the petals of the exquisite English florists' tulips, still exhibited in competition by members of the Wakefield Tulip Society in Yorkshire, runs the blood of flowers first grownby John Evelyn in the middle of the seventeenth century.Sumptuously illustrated from a wide range of sources, the book also features descriptions of eighty wild-species tulips and several hundred garden varieties. This beautifully produced and irresistible volume will become a bible, a unique source book, a universal gift book and a joy to all who possess it.

古本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Retribution: The Battle for Japan, 1944-45 - Max Hastings (Knopf) 【紙書籍】 9780307263513

Searingly powerful (Andrew Roberts, The Sunday Telegraph), a riveting, impeccably informed chronicle of the final year of the Pacific war. In his critically acclaimed Armageddon, Hastings detailed the last twelve months of the struggle for Germany. Here, in what can be considered a companion volume, he covers the horrific story of the war against Japan. By the summer of 1944 it was clear that Japan's defeat was inevitable, but how the drive to victory would be achieved remained to be seen. The ensuing drama--that ended in Japan's utter devastation--was acted out across the vast stage of Asia, with massive clashes of naval and air forces, fighting through jungles, and barbarities by an apparently incomprehensible foe. In recounting the saga of this time and place, Max Hastings gives us incisive portraits of the theater's key figures--MacArthur, Nimitz, Mountbatten, Chiang Kai-shek, Mao, Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin. But he is equally adept in his portrayals of the ordinary soldiers and sailors--American, British, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese--caught in some of the war's bloodiest campaigns. With unprecedented insight, Hastings discusses Japan's war against China, now all but forgotten in the West, MacArthur's follies in the Philippines, the Marines at Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and the Soviet blitzkrieg in Manchuria. He analyzes the decision-making process that led to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki--which, he convincingly argues, ultimately saved lives. Finally, he delves into the Japanese wartime mind-set, which caused an otherwise civilized society to carry out atrocities that haunt the nation to this day. Retribution is a brilliant telling of an epic conflict from a master military historian at the height of his powers.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Consumerism and the Emergence of the Middle Class in Colonial America【電子書籍】[ Christina J. Hodge ]

＜p＞This interdisciplinary study presents compelling evidence for a revolutionary idea: that to understand the historical entrenchment of gentility in America, we must understand its creation among non-elite people: colonial middling sorts who laid the groundwork for the later American middle class. Focusing on the daily life of Widow Elizabeth Pratt, a shopkeeper from early eighteenth-century Newport, Rhode Island, Christina J. Hodge uses material remains as a means of reconstructing not only how Mrs Pratt lived, but also how these objects reflect shifting class and gender relationships in this period. Challenging the 'emulation thesis', a common assumption that wealthy elites led fashion and culture change while middling sorts only followed, Hodge shows how middling consumers were in fact discerning cultural leaders, adopting genteel material practices early and aggressively. By focusing on the rise and emergence of the middle class, this book brings new insights into the evolution of consumerism, class, and identity in colonial America.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Die Auswirkungen der Subprimekrise auf die Private Equity Branche【電子書籍】[ Melanie Stoll ]

＜p＞Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich VWL - Finanzwissenschaft, Note: 1,7, Hochschule Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Veranstaltung: Corporate Finance, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Vorwort In den letzten Jahren mehrten sich die Pressemeldungen im Bereich der Unternehmens?bernahmen durch so genannte Finanzinvestoren. Gemeint sind hier Private Equity Gesellschaften, die ihr Kapital in deutsche Unternehmen investieren und versuchen, diese Beteiligungen nach einer gewissen Zeit m?glichst renditetr?chtig weiterzuver?u?ern. Frei nach dem Prinzip 'Buy it, strip it, flip it' wird den Private Equity Gesellschaften von den deutschen Medien oft vorgeworfen, die Unternehmen zu kaufen, auszunehmen und dann m?glichst schnell wieder abzusto?en. 'Die Gier des gro?en Geldes' titelte auch DER SPIEGEL im Jahr 2006 und t?nte damit in eine ?hnliche Richtung. Doch haben die der Private Equity Gesellschaften tats?chlich nur den kurzfristigen Gewinn im Blick? Bereits um die Jahrtausendwende hatten Private Equity Fonds mit immens hohen Volumina den Standort Deutschland entdeckt und begonnen, in Unternehmen aller Gr??en zu investieren. Die Mengen an Geldern, die ihnen hierf?r von anderen Investoren und auch Banken zur Verf?gung standen, wuchsen immer weiter an und es schien kein Ende in Sicht. Doch dann wurde die Branche, so wie die gesamte Finanz- und Gesch?ftswelt, von der Subprimekrise getroffen. Hier stellt sich nun die Frage, inwiefern diese Entwicklungen den Markt f?r Unternehmensbeteiligungen ver?nderten und ob die Branchenangeh?rigen gezwungen waren, ihre bisherigen Strategien zu ?ndern. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Auswirkungen der Subprimekrise auf die Private Equity Branche darzustellen. Nach dem Grundlagenteil in Kapitel 1 werden hierzu in Kapitel 2 der Wandel der Branche sowie die Auswirkungen des Konjunktureinbruchs untersucht. In Bezug darauf bespricht Kapitel 3 ausgew?hlte Erfolgsfaktoren einer Private Equity Beteiligung an den Beispielen der Grohe Holding GmbH und der Berentzen-Gruppe AG. Au?erdem wird er?rtert, ob Private Equity tats?chlich eine Bedrohung f?r deutsche Unternehmen darstellt oder vielleicht sogar einen positiven Effekt f?r diese hat. Die Untersuchung wird auf die Private Equity Branche in Deutschland eingegrenzt. Ferner wird der Betrachtungszeitraum vom Jahre 2006, welches noch weitgehend unbeeinflusst von den Auswirkungen der Krise war, bis heute festgelegt.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Sch?nheit als Voraussetzung f?r politische Freiheit? Die Genese des utopischen Staates in Schillers ?sthetik【電子書籍】[ Bj?rn Heigel ]

＜p＞Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Theoretische (Erkenntnis, Wissenschaft, Logik, Sprache), Note: 1,0, Martin-Luther-Universit?t Halle-Wittenberg (Institut f?r Ethnologie und Philosophie), Veranstaltung: Hegels ?sthetik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Rezeption des Sch?nen und dessen Bedingungen spielt auch heute noch - will sagen gerade heute - eine au?erordentliche Rolle im Selbstverst?ndnis von Moderne und Postmoderne, die einen philosophischen Diskurs unentbehrlich werden l?sst. Lenzen, Erziehungswissenschaftler und Pr?sident der Universit?t Hamburg, spricht von einer ≫Renaissance des ?sthetischen, die bis heute andauert≪ und Philosophieprofessor Vo?k?hler sieht in den ?sthetischen ?berlegungen Kants und Schillers gar den Ursprung einer Art neuer Religiosit?t - der Kunst als einer ≫neuen Mythologie im Zeitalter der Moderne≪. Es scheint, als strebe der oft gepriesene Fortschritt, Motor von Wirtschaft und Politik, ebenfalls zu einer Formvollendung. Es ist nicht mehr der blo?e Zweck, an dem die Gesamtheit von etwas gemessen wird - sondern auch sein Design, seine Architektur - kurzum seine Sch?nheit. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass der Titel dieser Arbeit aufgrund seiner ungew?hnlichen Verkn?pfung einer Staatstheorie mit dem transzendenten Begriff der Sch?nheit zun?chst Verwirrung stiften wird. Hierzu sei angemerkt, dass bereits seine Zeitgenossen ≫Schillers Abhandlung daher auch als erste politische ?sthetik verstanden [haben].≪ Bei der Frage nach der ≫Kunstsch?nheit als Voraussetzung f?r politische Freiheit≪ handelt es sich also um eine leichte Modifikation der Schillerschen Hauptthese in den Briefen ?ber die ?sthetische Erziehung des Menschen, die den Hauptteil der Arbeit bestimmen und kritisch beleuchtet werden sollen. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit liegt also auf dem letzten gro?en ?sthetikprojekt Schillers, der seinerzeit, wenn auch fachfremd, wesentliche Anst??e und Beitr?ge zur philosophischen Forschung geleistet hat, ≫indem er die Kantischen Begriffe und Lehren seiner eigenen inneren Geistesform gem?? gestaltete, [...] die f?r den Fortgang der Nachkantischen Spekulation entscheidend geworden [sind].≪ Die enge Verkn?pfung der Gedanken dieser beider Philosophen ist kein Zufall und so bleibt es Tatsache, dass Schillers ?sthetische Schriften ohne ein Grundverst?ndnis der analytischen ?sthetik Kants und dessen Moralphilosophie schwer zu durchdringen sind, wenn ≫die Briefe ?ber die ?sthetische Erziehung [auch] nichtkantische Einfl?sse auf[weisen]≪. Aus diesem Anlass bietet der erste Teil der Arbeit, neben einem Abriss ?ber die Hauptthese(n) der ersten ?sthetischen Schrift Schillers in den Kallias-Briefen, auch eine Auseinandersetzung mit der ?sthetik Kants im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞The female body has been an object of oppression and control throughout history. 'Gender and Apocalyptic Desire' exposes the often-hidden links between the struggles of women and the conflict of good versus evil. The essays examine the collisions between feminist and apocalyptic thought, the ways in which apocalyptic belief functions as bodily discipline and cultural practice, and how some currents of apocalyptic desire can enable women's equality. A wide range of issues are examined, from anti-abortion terrorism to the stigmata of Christ and visions of Mary.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich BWL - Revision, Pr?fungswesen, Note: 1,0, Fachhochschule Rosenheim, Veranstaltung: Pr?fungswesen, 40 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Unternehmensbewertung wird zum wichtigsten Instrument der St?rken- und Schw?chenanalyse und der operativen und strategischen Unternehmenssteuerung durch das Management. Jedoch ist die Zukunft nicht genau prognostizierbar. Prognosen k?nnen eintreffen oder auch nicht. Das Ertragswertverfahren und das Discounted Cash Flow Verfahren sind die am h?ufigsten eingesetzten Verfahren in der Unternehmensbewertungspraxis. Problematisch sind die beiden Verfahren jedoch bei New Economy Firmen, wenn die Ertr?ge oder Cash Flows nur sehr schwer prognostizierbar sind und unerwartet stark schwanken. Die Weiterentwicklung des IDW Standards wird zu einer sachgerechteren und realit?tsn?heren Bewertung f?hren, die aber mit einer h?heren Komplexit?t verbunden ist. Die neuen Regelungen des Unternehmensbewertungsstandards des IDW werden in der Bewertung tendenziell zu niedrigeren Unternehmenswerten f?hren. In der Literatur lassen sich einige kontroverse Meinungen bez?glich des Kapitalisierungszinssatzes finden. In der Unternehmensbewertungspraxis sollte jedoch beachtet werden, dass eine Abzinsung mit dem Kapitalisierungszinssatz wenig sinnvoll erscheint, solange die zuk?nftigen Ertr?ge bzw. Cash Flows nur dilettantisch bzw. oberfl?chlich ermittelt wurden.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Ben and Edie McCormack worked their whole lives, trying to save up enough money to raise their two daughters and have a little left over for their retirement. But the market crash wiped out their savings and what little was left was swept away by the housing crisis, leaving them with a home in foreclosure and nowhere to go. So they decide to become camp hosts at the Silver Springs campground in Mount Rainier National Park, where they hope to find some peace and quiet and a place to live rent-free while they figure out how start over yet again. But the summer at Silver Springs will be anything but quiet for Ben and Edie, with an unexpected visit from their reality TV star daughter, Jillian, who's looking to make their story her next hit. They'll have to deal with Melanie, the park ranger with a voluntary case of Tourette's, and Skylar, their teenaged granddaughter who ends up at Silver Springs looking for love but finding trouble. But most disturbing is the dusty old Winnebago that rolls into camp, with the covered windows and the strange noises coming from within. Like a boy poking at a hornet's nest with a stick, Ben has no way to know that his curiosity will let loose a series of events that'll change all of their lives forever. Surviving the summer at Silver Springs will force Ben and Edie to summon the strength of their time-tested marriage, stripping away the weathered resentments between parents, children and siblings, revealing the resilience of an American family rebuilding their American dream.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich P?dagogik - Allgemein, Note: 1,3, Universit?t der Bundeswehr M?nchen, Neubiberg, 185 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Vorwort Die vorliegende Arbeit besch?ftigt sich mit der Thematik 'Work-Life-Balance'. Hinter diesem neudeutschen Anglizismus versteckt sich ein deutlich zunehmendes Spannungsverh?ltnis der Lebensbereiche Arbeit bzw. Beruf auf der einen Seite und Familie bzw. Freizeit auf der anderen Seite. Unser Interesse an der Arbeit begr?ndet sich aus der Teilnahme an der Lehrveranstaltung Postmoderne I und II, bei der Prof. Dr. Kh. GEI?LER und Dipl.P?d. Andreas THEODORFF uns den Blick f?r das Individuum in der heutigen Zeit er?ffnet haben. Mit dem vermittelten Grundverst?ndnis f?r die Entwicklungsdynamiken von der Moderne zur Postmoderne oder auch 'Reflexiven Moderne', wie sie beispielsweise von BECK et al. (1994) genannt wird, haben wir begonnen unsere eigene Situation zu reflektieren. Wir stellten fest, dass wir im Laufe unserer milit?rischen Laufbahn, genau wie viele junge Berufseinsteiger aber auch langj?hrig Berufst?tige, pers?nlich von einer Dysbalance in den verschiedenen Lebensbereichen betroffen waren bzw. sind. Die Erfordernisse der Arbeitswelt dehnen sich zunehmend in die angrenzenden Lebensbereiche aus. Dies f?hrt schlie?lich dazu, dass wir auch den privaten Bereich - vor allem in zeitlicher Hinsicht - zunehmend rationell gestalten m?ssen, um die heutigen Anforderungen zu bew?ltigen. HABERMAS (1981) hat dies als 'Kolonialisierung der Lebenswelt' bezeichnet und 'damit seiner Kritik an einer Gesellschaft Ausdruck verliehen, die sich nur noch an marktf?rmigen Rationalit?ten orientiert.' (THEDORFF 2004, S.48) Die Floskel 'keine Zeit' und das allgegenw?rtige Klagen ?ber Stress und ?berforderung werden zur Normalit?t und damit als unhinterfragte Entschuldigung f?r das mangelnde soziale Engagement bis hinunter auf die famili?re bzw. partnerschaftliche Ebene akzeptiert. Wir versuchen im Rahmen dieser Arbeit zu hinterfragen, woher dieser Stress und Druck resultiert, wo wir doch eigentlich heute mehr Freiheiten und auch mehr Freizeit denn je haben. Wir selbst haben im Rahmen der milit?rischen Ausbildung erlebt, was es hei?t sich den Anforderungen der Arbeit komplett unterzuordnen und auch den privaten, au?erberuflichen Lebensbereich daran auszurichten. Arbeiten bis sp?t in die Nacht, Wochenenddienste und tagelange bzw. wochenlange Gefechts?bung haben dabei einen teilweise sehr hohen Tribut gefordert. Wir stellen uns daher die Frage: Leben wir um zu arbeiten oder arbeiten wir um zu leben?＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Out of 19th century Australia rides a hero of his people and a man for all nations: Ned Kelly, the son of poor Irish immigrants, viewed by the authorities as a thief (especially of horses) and, as a cold-blooded killer. To the people, though, he was a patriot hounded unfairly by rich English landlords and their stooges. In the end, Kelly and his so-called gang (his younger brother and two friends) led a massive police manhunt on a wild goose chase that lasted twenty months, in which Ned's talents as a bushman were augmented by bank robberies and the support of nearly everyone not in a uniform. His one demand - for which he would have surrendered himself was his jailed mother's freedom. Executed by hanging more than a century ago, speaking as if from the grave, Kelly still resonates as the most potent legend in the land down under.

＜p＞America's leaders say the economy is strong and getting stronger. But the safety net that once protected us is fast unraveling. With retirement plans in growing jeopardy while health coverage erodes, more and more economic risk is shifting from government and business onto the fragile shoulders of the American family. In ＜em＞The Great Risk Shift＜/em＞, Jacob S. Hacker lays bare this unsettling new economic climate, showing how it has come about, what it is doing to our families, and how we can fight back. Behind this shift, he contends, is the Personal Responsibility Crusade, eagerly embraced by corporate leaders and Republican politicians who speak of a nirvana of economic empowerment, an "ownership society" in which Americans are free to choose. But as Hacker reveals, the result has been quite different: a harsh new world of economic insecurity, in which far too many Americans are free to lose. The book documents how two great pillars of economic security--the family and the workplace--guarantee far less financial stability than they once did. The final leg of economic support--the public and private benefits that workers and families get when economic disaster strikes--has dangerously eroded as political leaders and corporations increasingly cut back protections of our health care, our income security, and our retirement pensions. Blending powerful human stories, big-picture analysis, and compelling ideas for reform, this remarkable volume will hit a nerve, serving as a rallying point in the vital struggle for economic security in an increasingly uncertain world.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Verdict Did Labour Change Britain?【電子書籍】[ David Walker ]

＜p＞Did the Labour government improve people's lives? Are we healthier, wealthier or wiser; happier or safer than in 1997, when Labour came to power? If we are, how much do we have to thank Blair and Brown and their cabinets for? In ＜em＞The Verdict＜/em＞, Polly Toynbee and David Walker strip away spin, personality and political rhetoric to judge how our lives have changed. They consider Labour's lasting legacy and what its successors can learn from Labour's performance.＜br /＞ Travelling the country, Toynbee and Walker compare Labour's promises with people's own accounts of what they experienced in recent years. They drop in on a Sure Start centre and visit schools, hospitals and colleges - and estates plagued by disorder - to ask: what different did Labour make?＜br /＞ Combining sharp, witty writing, human stories and expert analysis, ＜em＞The Verdict＜/em＞ charts Labour's often bewildering array of initiatives, projects and schemes. It questions how many depended on bubble finance and how many will be missed as recent public spending cuts take hold. From the early optimism of 'Things can only get better' to the misery of the financial crisis, Toynbee and Walker hand down the definitive judgement on Labour's record.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Something for the Pain A Memoir of the Turf【電子書籍】[ Gerald Murnane ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Winner, Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for Non-Fiction, 2016＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞As a boy, Gerald Murnane became obsessed with horse racing. He had never ridden a horse, nor seen a race. Yet he was fascinated by photos of horse races in the ＜em＞Sporting Globe＜/em＞, and by the incantation of horses' names in radio broadcasts of races. Murnane discovered in these races more than he could find in religion or philosophy: they were the gateway to a world of imagination.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Gerald Murnane is like no other writer, and ＜em＞Something for the Pain＜/em＞ is like no other Murnane book. In this unique and spellbinding memoir, he tells the story of his life through the lens of horse racing. It is candid, droll and movingーa treat for lovers of literature and of the turf.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Gerald Murnane＜/strong＞ was born in Melbourne in 1939. He has been a primary teacher, an editor and a university lecturer. His debut novel, ＜em＞Tamarisk Row＜/em＞ (1974), was followed by nine other works of fiction, including ＜em＞The Plains＜/em＞ now available as a Text Classic, and most recently ＜em＞A Million Windows＜/em＞. In 1999 Murnane won the Patrick White Award and in 2009 he won the Melbourne Prize for Literature. He lives in western Victoria.＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘Murnane, a genius, is a worthy heir to Beckett.’ Teju Cole＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘Murnane is a careful stylist and a slyly comic writer with large ideas.’ Robyn Cresswell, ＜em＞Paris Review＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘Murnane is quite simply one of the finest writers we have produced.’ Peter Craven＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘Unquestionably one of the most original writers working in Australia today.’ ＜em＞Australian＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘＜em＞Something for the Pain＜/em＞ is Gerald Murnane at his best. His meticulous exploration of his lifelong obsession with horse racing is by turns hilarious, moving and profound. If Australian writing were a horse race, Murnane would be the winner by three and a half lengths.’ Andy Griffiths＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘A marvellous book about horse racing, one of the best this country has produced. It is full of fast and loose stories and colourful characters…and lots of laughs.’ Stephen Romei, ＜em＞Australian＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘＜em＞Something for the Pain＜/em＞ bears testament to a lifelong obsession and further illustrates the breadth and depth of meaningfulness that Murnane can draw from a seemingly straightforward spectacle.’ ＜em＞Australian Book Review＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘Murnane is a writer of the greatest skill and tonal control. Reading his description of the death of a racehorse in the arms of its owner-trainer at Flemington racecourse, tears rolled down my cheeks: “The man put his arms around the horse’s neck and pressed his face against the horse’s head. The man went on lying there. The light rain went on falling.”’ ＜em＞Financial Times＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘An absolute gem. It's literary, lucid, full of love for horses and racing and full of the strange highly-ordered madness of Murnane, full of a selfless disclosure. It’s marvellous. Funny, moving, beautiful. A brilliant book.’ Jonathan Green, Radio National Books and Arts＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘Murnane recounts his life through his abiding obsession with horse racing. But you don’t have to care about horse racingーit’s the quality of the obsessed mind that matters.’ Ben Lerner, ＜em＞New Yorker＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘Yes, this is about Murnane’s lifelong obsession with horseracing, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a memoir that illuminates his deliberately unusual life and his exquisite fiction.’ ＜em＞Australian＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘Murnane’s books are strange and wonderful and nearly impossible to describe in a sentence or two…His later works are essayistic meditations on his own past, a personal mythology as attuned to the epic ordinariness of lost time as Proust, except with Murnane it’s horse races, a boyhood marble collection, Catholic sexual hang-ups and life as a househusband in the suburban Melbourne of the 1970s.’ ＜em＞＜strong＞New York Times＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
