They hope to preserve their intellectual freedom and their lives, but soon find themselves caught up in the post-revolutionary chaos that sweeps across their ancient land and its people.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Written in the lyrical magical realism style of classical Persian story-telling, ＜em＞The Enlightenment of the Greengage＜/em＞ Tree speaks of the power of imagination when confronted with cruelty, and of our human need to make sense of trauma through the ritual of storytelling itself. Portentous dragonflies, forest jinns and mermaids suffuse the narrative that stand in stark contrast to the material circumstances that alter the character's lives. Through her unforgettable characters, Azar weaves a timely and timeless story that juxtaposes the beauty of an ancient, vibrant culture with the brutality of an oppressive political regime.＜/p＞ ＜p＞**Included in The *Guardian'*s ＜em＞'＜em＞Elena Ferrante names her 40 favourite books by female authors' ＜a href="www.theguardian.com/books/2020%20ov/21/elena-ferrante-names-her-40-favourite-books-by-female-authors#_=_"＞article＜/a＞.＜/em＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞'An extremely strong and meaningful story: an entry into a world far removed from our English language horizons.' - Lucie Campos, International Booker Prize Judge＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞＜em＞'The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree＜/em＞ is a fantastical tale set in post-revolutionary Iran that concentrates on a family's tragedies, loves, and losses.

【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！】A Gathering Darkness Thirteen Classic English Ghost Stories【電子書籍】[ DH Lawrence ]

＜p＞Thirteen Victorian and Edwardian ghost stories that send chills up the spine and create an atmosphere sure to make the reader turn on an extra light and push up the back of their armchair against the wall.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Set amidst crumbling, ill-maintained churches and imposing cathedrals, on desolate coastland, moors and marshes, even along unlit roads extending into the new suburbs of London, the stories have been chosen for their quality of writing, imaginative range and diversity of character. Here you will find strange, preoccupied gentleman farmers; scholars and antiquarians; administrators of the British Raj; cowering country girls drafted into service in leaky mansions; cussed, gnarled servants and remorseful clergymen; frustrated aristocrats, and their puzzled American cousins; crooked jurists, desperate children and modern women emancipated in ways they never imagined.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The stories, in short, are the quintessence of nineteenth century literature, except for that one small, and unexamined, crack in its magnificent window pane.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From Edith Nesbit and MR James to Wilkie Collins and WW Jacobs, late Victorian and Edwardian writers lived through a time of unparalleled change, and unprecedented challengeーbut also produced some of the finest ghost stories ever written. This collection explores the many dimensions of that rapidly-shifting world: a university curator’s annoyance at receiving an uninteresting picture turns to terror when it proves far more interesting than he first imagined; the wife of a colonial administrator experiences the unexpected consequences of love which endures death; a mill family makes nervous use of an Indian talisman offering the solution to any problem, at a price.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In these thirteen classic stories of the supernatural nothing is taken for granted except, perhaps, for fear.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Table of Contents＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜ol＞ ＜li＞MR James, The Mezzotint＜/li＞ ＜li＞Charlotte Riddell, Nut Bush Farm＜/li＞ ＜li＞Mary Elizabeth Braddon, The Shadow in the Corner＜/li＞ ＜li＞John Kendrick Bangs, The Water Ghost of Harrowby Hall＜/li＞ ＜li＞Wilkie Collins, Miss Jeromette and the Clergyman＜/li＞ ＜li＞Alice Perrin, The Summoning of Arnold＜/li＞ ＜li＞Edith Nesbit, John Charrington's Wedding＜/li＞ ＜li＞WF Harvey, Across the Moors＜/li＞ ＜li＞DH Lawrence, The Rocking-Horse Winner＜/li＞ ＜li＞Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Mr Justice Harbottle＜/li＞ ＜li＞Wallace Irwin, The Transplanted Ghost＜/li＞ ＜li＞WW Jacobs, The Monkey's Paw＜/li＞ ＜li＞May Sinclair, Where their Fire Is Not Quenched＜/li＞ ＜li＞Afterword: MR James, Stories I Have Tried to Write: Thoughts and Observations on the Writing of Ghost Stories＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞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！】Peter and Wendy - The Original Classic Edition【電子書籍】[ Barrie J ]

＜p＞Yes, there is darkness in Peter Pan - and in Alice, too, and in The Wizard of Oz - and certainly in Felix Saltons Bambi. These books, while written for young people, and which may be described as fantasy, have real plots and real characters who are not perfect. Peter Pan is selfish and stubborn as well as charming because children are not angels - they are little humans.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alice is highly critical of the adults in her dream world - adults who act very arbitrarily and often foolishly, as adults often do. Bambi is about the effects of human cruelty on animals; it deals with death and pain. One of the indications that these are good books, and not merely childrens books, is that they can be read at different stages of life with new layers of understanding. You dont have to outgrow them, and they are better than many a book written for adults.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The real Pan and Alice and Bambi may not be suitable for the very youngest children, but please dont deprive your children culturally by never giving them anything but Disneys cutesy interpretations.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For one thing, Barrie was a great writer who used words beautifully and had insightand feeling. Children deserve art as much as adults.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Peter is a boy that refuses to grow up. He lives in Neverland with his fairy, Tinkerbell, and the Lost Boys. He visits the nursery of Wendy, Michael, and John Darling to hear Wendys marvelous stories, and one night loses that pesky shadow. When he comes back to get it and tries to stick it back on, Wendy discovers this new boy in their nursery and soon learns about his amazing lifestyle. Entranced by thoughts of pirates, mermaids, and fairies, Wendy, Michael, and John embark on an amazing adventure into a world so unlike ours.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Its bittersweet, its insightful, its magical, its everything and more a child or an adult could ask for in a story. You wont want to leave Neverland, and some days, you may find yourself staring out the window, looking for that hint of light that is Tinkerbell or the boy effortlessly flying between trees and buildings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Without a doubt the greatest childrens story of all time, one that weve all heard, whether it was through a movie or a stage production. Experience the real magic though, and read Barries brilliant novel about the boy who wont grow up.＜/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＞ Alice Lange was just another small town college girl trying to find her place in the world. In her last undergraduate semester Alice enrolls in a class with Indiana’s renowned archaeologist, Andrew St. John, and her life is never the same. From the moment St. John enters the classroom Alice’s life is plunged into the dangerous waters of his past. For Andrew St. John carries a secret so dangerous it has caused the death of everyone he has ever cared about and Alice Lange has just made it to the top of death’s list. From one simple meeting, one longing glance witnessed by the darkness itself, would emerge a cause and effect storm of epic proportions. Can St. John save the woman he loves or, like everyone who came before her, will he lose her forever?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Unearthed, book two in The Immortal Legacy Series, is a tale of blood, passion, pain, abduction, death, and eternal life. Unearthed, touches on topics of vampirism as an immortal virus, the study of archaeology, and the religious and cultural practices of the Moche people in South America. Unearthed is set in the Midwestern college town of Bloomington, Indiana, but ventures forth into Peru, South America and Cody, Wyoming during important climactic scenes. The Immortal Legacy Series begins with book one, Unreal, and tells the story of a young woman and the two immortal men who stole her heart. The concept of immortality is portrayed in this series as a genetic trait that upon the death of its carrier restores life and limb. Unreal sets the stage for the series introducing the concept of immortality as genetic, while playing off of true historical concepts such as the Greco-Persian wars and the Persian King Xerxes’ “immortal” guard of ten-thousand men. As the series progresses further details of the character’s lives and immortality are revealed. Book three, Unchanged, introduces shape-shifters, set in the state of Wyoming and the Scottish Highlands. Book four, Unholy, set in Rome, Italy explains the genetic origins of immortals, shape-shifters, and vampires through the interrelations of gods and angels with humans and the angelic assassins tasked with wiping them from the face of the earth.＜/p＞ ＜p＞ ＜/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＞FOLLOW ELIZABETH DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE-AND MEET A WHOLE NEW ALICE. Elizabeth, a twenty-four-year-old interior designer living in Brooklyn, New York, encounters a little more than mental static when she sits down for her morning meditation, feeling disconnected from herself and her reality. As she meditates, she forces herself to confront her inner demons head on-including the darker parts that she would rather keep hidden from others, like her boyfriend, Adam. Her inner conflict leads her down a rabbit hole that is far different from the one she remembers from her favorite childhood story. When Elizabeth reaches the bottom of the rabbit hole, she follows a shadowy figure in a familiar blue dress who taunts her and coaxes her deeper into Wonderland. Unable to release herself from her meditation, Elizabeth chases Alice through Wonderland, guided by clues left by Alice, as well as the dark and strangely familiar characters she meets, like the Cheshire Cat, the Tweedle twins, and the Mad Hatter. In Wonderland, Elizabeth comes face to face with her inner light and darkness, and, finally, Alice-and discovers that Alice's secret might be what she has been searching for all along.＜/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！】Hope Leslie: Early Times in the Massachusetts (Complete)【電子書籍】[ Catharine Maria Sedgwick ]

＜p＞There were interested persons who were not slow in conveying to Sir William unfavourable reports of his nephew, and the young man received a summons from his uncle, who hoped, by removing him from the infected region, to rescue him from danger. Sir William’s pride was gratified by the elegant appearance and graceful deportment of his nephew, whom he had expected to see with the “slovenly and lawyer-like carriage” that marked the scholars of the times. The pliant courtier was struck with the lofty independence of the youth, who from the first showed that neither frowns nor favour would induce him to bow the knee to the idols Sir William had served. There was something in this independence that awed the inferior mind of the uncle. To him it was an unknown, mysterious power, which he knew not how to approach, and almost despaired of subduing. However, he was experienced in life, and had observed enough of human infirmity to convince him that there was no human virtue that had not some weak, some assailable point. Time and circumstances were not long in developing the vulnerability of the nephew. Alice Fletcher had been the companion of his childhood. They now met without any of the reserve that often prevents an intimate intercourse between young persons, and proceeds from the consciousness of a susceptibility which it would seem to deny. The intercourse of the cousins was renewed with all the frankness and artlessness of the sunny season of childish love and confidence. Alice had been educated in retirement by her mother, whom she had recently attended through a long and fatal illness. She had been almost the exclusive object of her love, for there was little congeniality between the father and daughter. The ties of nature may command all dutiful observances, but they cannot control the affections. Alice was deeply afflicted by her bereavement. Her cousin’s serious temper harmonized with her sorrow, and nature and opportunity soon indissolubly linked their hearts together. Sir William perceived their growing attachment, and exulted in it; for, as he fancied, it reduced his nephew to dependance on his will and whims. He had never himself experienced the full strength of any generous sentiment, but he had learned from observation that love was a controlling passion, and he now most anxiously watched and promoted the kindling of the flame, in the expectation that the fire would subdue the principles of civil and religious liberty with which he had but too well ascertained the mind of his nephew to be imbued. He silently favoured the constant and exclusive intercourse of the young people: he secretly contrived various modes of increasing their mutual dependance; and, when he was certain their happiness was staked, he cast the die. He told his nephew that he perceived and rejoiced in the mutual affection that had so naturally sprung up between him and his daughter, and he confessed their union had been the favourite object of his life; and said that he now heartily accorded his consent to it, prescribing one condition onlyーbut that condition was unalterable. “You must abjure, William, in the presence of witnesses,” he said, “the fanatical notions of liberty and religion with which you have been infected; you must pledge yourself, by a solemn oath, to unqualified obedience to the king, and adherence to the Established Church: you shall have time enough for the effervescence of your young blood. God send this fermentation may work off all impurities. Nay, answer me not now. Take a dayーa weekーa month for consideration; for on your decision depends fortune and love, or the alternative, beggary and exile.” If a pit had yawned beneath his feet and swallowed Alice from his view, William Fletcher could not have been more shocked. He was soul-stricken, as one who listens to a sentence of death. To his eye the earth was shrouded in darkness; not an object of hope or pursuit remained.＜/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。
