＜p＞The Severs are a family in turmoil. They are David, his teens Cassie and Jeff, and Carolyn, his estranged wife. David and Cassie possess latent abilities they toyed with when she was a child, dabbling unwittingly with a technique known as dream-walking.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Presently they find themselves doing it again, coinciding with dreams David is having of a circular cross shape and a Templar Knight. David's eccentricities surrounding his dream world are wreaking havoc throughout his family life. Carolyn seeks out new age church alternatives as her solution, while David is opposed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Cassie cares little for either, but is drawn to her father's dreams, and begins to share in them. Desiring only family preservation, her brother Jeff allies with their mother and her new found mentor Murro Vogt, a charlatan leader of a church known as The Gateway. As Vogt takes the two under his wing, his true motives in engaging this family, because of their ancestry line to the Knights Templar, slowly emerge.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Cassie's allegiance to her father and his resistance towards Vogt brings the two sides towards collision course, leading to Cassie's introduction to Sandra Nikells, a psychic consultant to the police department. Nikells appears when a tragedy of Vogt's making strikes the family. She coaches Cassie and David in the art of dream walking and the use of dream gates. As these skills are honed, the mystery of David's dream cross circles become clearer. They are revealed to be gateways of cross-over passage to the other side.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It is to this end, a mission pre-destined to the family Severs by their connection to the Templar Grand Master Peter de Severy, that their road of discovery leads. And once upon it, there is no turning back. The very author of the faith they wrestle over is the ONE who sets them forth on a tumultuous journey into the spiritual realm. Fraught with dark dangers and entities, they march into the unknown to find that which was lost, and unravel the secrets of the Cross Gate!＜/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＞"In the depths of an ancient and mysterious castle, nestled at the highest point of the dark Cliff, lies a secret hidden for generations.

But even in the deepest darkness, there is always a light that guides towards a new beginning.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Will they unravel the secrets of the dark Cliff and find the hidden legacy that awaits in its depths? Or will the past, like lost memories, fade into eternity, letting the shadows reclaim what is theirs?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Embark on this thrilling tale of mystery and suspense, where truth is hidden in every corner, and redemption awaits in the hearts of the brave who face the enigmas of the dark Cliff."＜/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。

新しい本, フィクション, 文学, 英語で予約する, 洋書Frequency of Magic - Anthony Joseph (Peepal Tree Press Ltd.) 【紙書籍】 9781845234553

タイトル: Frequency of Magic著者: Anthony Joseph出版社: Peepal Tree Press Ltd.出版日: 2020年03月12日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。Raphael is a would-be author, but there have been so many distractions to the novel he has been writing for forty-one years that many of the characters have lost patience and gone off to do their own thing...but somehow, miraculously, the novel seems to write itself. The Frequency of Magic traverses an array of lives connected to the village of Million Hills. There's the speculative imagination of Luke's travels through mythic landscapes pursued by his nemesis, the carnival figure of the Great Bandit. There's the psychological odysseys of the musician, a jazz saxophonist, and Ella, an actor, both long separated from Million Hills, working their ways across the USA and Europe. When the paths of these exiles cross, a love affair begins. Time in this richly ambitious novel is both circular and simultaneous, but moving, as Raphael ages, towards a sense of dissolution both of persons and of the culture of the village. Above all, there is Raphael's belief that in the making of his fiction, however messy and disobedient its materials, art can both challenge the destructive passage of time and make us see reality afresh. 当店利用時のご注意・当店の商品は原則として、「個人輸入」としての取り扱いになり、アメリカ合衆国から直接お客様のもとへお届けいたします。商品の配送手続きのために、アメリカ合衆国の事業者へお客様の注文情報が提供されます。注文情報の提供について同意いただいた上でご注文ください。アメリカ合衆国の個人情報保護法制等について確認する場合は、こちらのページ「https://corp.rakuten.co.jp/privacy/data-transfers.html」をご参照ください。・関税・輸入消費税が課税される場合があります。・課税額はご注文時には確定しておらず、通関時に確定しますので、商品の受け取り時に着払いでお支払いください。・個人輸入される商品は、全てご注文者自身の「個人使用・個人消費（日本に居住する者に寄贈される物で、当該寄贈を受ける者の個人的な使用に供される場合を含みます。）」が前提となります。第三者への譲渡・転売が法令で禁止されるもの（医薬品、医薬部外品、化粧品等を含みますが、これに限られません。）もございますのでご注意下さい。・商品お届けまでに、10日間程度かかります。

＜p＞＜strong＞"Details the record-breaking 1851 New York-to-San Francisco voyages of the clipper ship ＜em＞Flying Cloud＜/em＞, focusing on its navigator, Eleanor Creesy." ー ＜em＞Library Journal＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜br /＞ In 1851, navigator Eleanor Creesy set sail on the maiden voyage of the clipper ship ＜em＞Flying Cloud＜/em＞, traveling from New York to San Francisco in only eighty-nine days. This swift passage set a world record that went unbroken for more than a century. Illustrated with original maps and charts as well as historical photographs, Shaw's compelling narrative captures the drama of this thrilling adventure.＜br /＞ In a position almost unheard of for a woman in the mid-nineteenth century, Eleanor Creesy served as the ship's navigator. With only the sun, planets, and stars to guide her, she brought ＜em＞Flying Cloud＜/em＞ safely around Cape Horn at the height of a winter blizzard, faced storms, dodged shoals, and found her way through calms to make the swift passage possible. Along with her husband, Josiah, the ship's captain, she sailed the mighty 3-masted clipper through 16,000 miles of the fiercest, most unpredictable oceans in the world.＜br /＞ Shaw vividly recreates nineteenth-century seafaring conditions and customs, for both the crew and the passengers who entrusted their fate to an untested ship. Including excerpts from letters and diaries of passengers, Shaw recounts ＜em＞Flying Cloud＜/em＞'s victory in the face of adversityーincluding sabotage, insubordination, and severe damage to the clipper's mainmast that might have sunk her with all hands lost. But the ship triumphed and would ultimately sail the world. ＜em＞Flying Cloud＜/em＞ brings to life, for the first time, the glory of one of America's most important seafaring tales and one woman's incredible achievements.＜/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 Kings Who Were Erased The City of Witness, #3【電子書籍】[ Riaan Hayes ]

＜p＞Oakhaven has always believed its rulers were chosen by power, lineage, or decree. But beneath the city's streets, buried deeper than memory and older than any crown, lies a forgotten system that once determined who was truly worthy to lead.＜br /＞ When strange messages begin appearing on the city's wallsーwords rising through stone as if the city itself has begun to speakーLucen, Selyn, and Elara realize something has awakened beneath Oakhaven. The walls carry a single command that spreads through the streets like a dangerous rumor: "Let the city name him."＜br /＞ As panic spreads and the Crown's agents rush to erase the signs, the three companions uncover a hidden entrance beneath an abandoned bell tower. What they find is not simply a secret passage, but the remains of an ancient civic structureーa buried network of chambers designed long ago to test those who would rule. These rooms were not built to crown kings, but to judge them.＜br /＞ Each chamber reveals a forgotten principle that once bound power to responsibility. In the Hearing Room, the dead speak through the walls, forcing any potential leader to confront the testimonies of those who suffered under corrupt rule. In the Room of Fire, authority must accept visible burden, bearing marks that cannot be hidden from the people. In the Chamber of the Overturned Cup, a ruler must prove they can refuse privilege and leave space for the city rather than filling every place with their own will.＜br /＞ But these trials were erased for a reason.＜br /＞ Long ago, the system that held rulers accountable was dismantled by those who feared its power. Records were burned. Witnesses silenced. Entire bloodlines of rightful kings were removed from history until the city forgot the difference between leadership and control.＜br /＞ Now the forgotten chambers are waking again.＜br /＞ As Lucen pieces together fragments of the lost system and Selyn becomes unexpectedly marked by the trials themselves, the group begins to understand the terrifying truth: the buried city is not looking for a king by bloodline. It is searching for someone who can survive the burdens of rule without becoming corrupted by it.＜br /＞ Meanwhile, the rulers of Oakhaven have discovered what lies beneath their streetsーand they will do anything to destroy it before the city learns the truth.＜br /＞ Hunted through hidden passages and ancient halls that remember the city's darkest secrets, Lucen, Selyn, and Elara must uncover the remaining trials before their enemies reach them. But each chamber reveals another brutal requirement for leadership, and each step deeper forces them to confront their own past failures, fears, and sacrifices.＜br /＞ Because the system beneath Oakhaven does not reward ambition.＜br /＞ It exposes it.＜br /＞ And the greatest danger is no longer the Crown, the soldiers, or the agents trying to erase the past.＜br /＞ The greatest danger is the question the city has begun asking again:＜br /＞ If power must carry truth, sacrifice, and the weight of the people…＜br /＞ who could possibly survive becoming king?＜br /＞ In The Kings Who Were Erased, the third installment of The City of Witness series, the struggle for Oakhaven's future moves beyond rebellion and into revelation. The past rises from beneath the streets, the city begins to remember its forgotten laws, and the search for a ruler worthy of the people becomes more dangerous than anyone imagined.＜br /＞ Because some truths were buried not to be hidden…＜br /＞ …but to protect those who uncovered them.＜/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！】Contesting Trade in Central America Market Reform and Resistance【電子書籍】[ Rose J. Spalding ]

＜p＞In 2004, the United States, five Central American countries, and the Dominican Republic signed the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), signaling the region’s commitment to a neoliberal economic model. For many, however, neoliberalism had lost its luster as the new century dawned, and resistance movements began to gather force. ＜em＞Contesting Trade in Central America＜/em＞ is the first book-length study of the debate over CAFTA, tracing the agreement’s drafting, its passage, and its aftermath across Central America.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rose J. Spalding draws on nearly two hundred interviews with representatives from government, business, civil society, and social movements to analyze the relationship between the advance of free market reform in Central America and the parallel rise of resistance movements. She views this dynamic through the lens of Karl Polanyi’s “double movement” theory, which posits that significant shifts toward market economics will trigger oppositional, self-protective social countermovements. Examining the negotiations, political dynamics, and agents involved in the passage of CAFTA in Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, Spalding argues that CAFTA served as a high-profile symbol against which Central American oppositions could rally. Ultimately, she writes, post-neoliberal reform “involves not just the design of appropriate policy mixes and sequences, but also the hard work of building sustainable and inclusive political coalitions, ones that prioritize the quality of social bonds over raw economic freedom.”＜/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！】Free Thinker Sex, Suffrage, and the Extraordinary Life of Helen Hamilton Gardener【電子書籍】[ Kimberly A. Hamlin ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A story of transgression in the face of religious ideology, a sexist scientific establishment, and political resistance to securing women’s right to vote.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞When Ohio newspapers published the story of Alice Chenoweth’s affair with a married man, she changed her name to Helen Hamilton Gardener, moved to New York, and devoted her life to championing women’s rights and decrying the sexual double standard. She published seven books and countless essays, hobnobbed with the most interesting thinkers of her era, and was celebrated for her audacious ideas and keen wit. Opposed to piety, temperance, and conventional thinking, Gardener eventually settled in Washington, D.C., where her tireless work proved, according to her colleague Maud Wood Park, "the most potent factor" in the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Free Thinker＜/em＞ is the first biography of Helen Hamilton Gardener, who died as the highest-ranking woman in federal government and a national symbol of female citizenship. Hamlin exposes the racism that underpinned the women’s suffrage movement and the contradictions of Gardener’s politics. Her life sheds new light on why it was not until the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that the Nineteenth Amendment became a reality for all women.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Celebrated in her own time but lost to history in ours, Gardener was hailed as the "Harriet Beecher Stowe of Fallen Women." ＜em＞Free Thinker＜/em＞ is the story of a woman whose struggles, both personal and political, resound in today’s fight for gender and sexual equity.＜/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 Legends and Myths of Hawaii: The Fables and Folk-lore of a Strange People【電子書籍】[ David Kalakaua ]

＜p＞The legends following are of a group of sunny islands lying almost midway between Asia and Americaーa cluster of volcanic craters and coral-reefs, where the mountains are mantled in perpetual green and look down upon valleys of eternal spring; where for two-thirds of the year the trade-winds, sweeping down from the northwest coast of America and softened in their passage southward, dally with the stately cocoas and spreading palms, and mingle their cooling breath with the ever-living fragrance of fruit and blossom. Deeply embosomed in the silent wastes of the broad Pacific, with no habitable land nearer than two thousand miles, these islands greet the eye of the approaching mariner like a shadowy paradise, suddenly lifted from the blue depths by the malicious spirits of the world of waters, either to lure him to his destruction or disappear as he drops his anchor by the enchanted shore. The legends are of a little archipelago which was unknown to the civilized world until the closing years of the last century, and of a people who for many centuries exchanged no word or product with the rest of mankind; who had lost all knowledge, save the little retained by the dreamiest of legends, of the great world beyond their island home; whose origin may be traced to the ancient Cushites of Arabia, and whose legends repeat the story of the Jewish genesis; who developed and passed through an age of chivalry somewhat more barbarous, perhaps, but scarcely less affluent in deeds of enterprise and valor than that which characterized the contemporaneous races of the continental world; whose chiefs and priests claimed kinship with the gods, and step by step told back their lineage not only to him who rode the floods, but to the sinning pair whose re-entrance to the forfeited joys of Paradise was prevented by the large, white bird of Kane; who fought without shields and went to their death without fear; whose implements of war and industry were of wood, stone and bone, yet who erected great temples to their gods, and constructed barges and canoes which they navigated by the stars; who peopled the elements with spirits, reverenced the priesthood, bowed to the revelations of their prophets, and submitted without complaint to the oppressions of thetabu; who observed the rite of circumcision, built places of refuge after the manner of the ancient Israelites, and held sacred the religious legends of the priests and chronological meles of the chiefs. As the mind reverts to the past of the Hawaiian group, and dwells for a moment upon the shadowy history of its people, mighty forms rise and disappearーmen of the stature of eight or nine feet, crowned with helmets of feathers and bearing spears thirty feet in length. Such men were Kiha, and Liloa, and Umi, and Lono, all kings of Hawaii during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; and little less in bulk and none the less in valor was the great Kamehameha, who conquered and consolidated the several islands under one government, and died as late as 1819. And beside Umi, whose life was a romance, stands his humble friend Maukaleoleo, who, with his feet upon the ground, could reach the cocoanuts of standing trees; and back of him in the past is seen Kana, the son of Hina, whose height was measured by paces. And, glancing still farther backward through the centuries, we behold adventurous chiefs, in barges and double canoes a hundred feet in length, making the journey between the Hawaiian and more southern groups, guided only by the sun and stars. Later we see battles, with dusky thousands in line. The warriors are naked to the loins, and are armed with spears, slings, clubs, battle-axes, javelins and knives of wood or ivory.＜/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！】1914 and 1914-1919 Poems【電子書籍】[ Earl of Ypres John Denton Pinkstone French & John Oxenham & Rupert Brooke & Maurice Baring ]

＜p＞For years past I had regarded a general war in Europe as an eventual certainty. The experience which I gained during the seven or eight years spent as a member of the Committee of Imperial Defence, and my three years tenure of the Office of Chief of the General Staff, greatly strengthened this conviction. For reasons which it is unnecessary to enter upon, I resigned my position as Chief of the Staff in April, 1914, and from that time I temporarily lost touch with the European situation as it was officially represented and appreciated. I remember spending a week in June of that year in Paris, and when passing through Dover on my return, my old friend, Jimmie Watson (Colonel Watson, late of the 60th Rifles, A.D.C. to the Khedive of Egypt), looked into my carriage window and told me of the murder of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his Consort. I cannot say that I actually regarded this tragedy as being the prelude which should lead ultimately to a great European convulsion, but in my own mind, and in view of my past experience, it created a feeling of unrest within me and an instinctive foreboding of evil. Then came a few weeks of the calm which heralded the stormーa calm under cover of which Germany was vigorously preparing for "the day." One afternoon, late in July, I was the guest at lunch of the German Ambassador, Prince Lichnowski. It was a small party, comprising, to the best of my recollection, only Princess Henry of Pless, Lady Cunard, Lord Kitchener, His Excellency and myself. The first idea I got of the storm which was brewing came from a short conversation which I had with the Ambassador in a corner of the room after lunch. He was very unhappy and perturbed, and he plainly told me that he feared all Europe would be in a blaze before we were a fortnight older. His feeling was prophetic. His surprising candour foreshadowed the moral courage with which Prince Lichnowski subsequently issued his famous apologia. On July 28th Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. The military preparations of the Dual Monarchy inevitably led to a partial mobilisation by Russia against Austria, whereupon the German Emperor proclaimed the "Kriegsgefahrszustand" on July 31st, following this up by declaring war against Russia on August 1st. On August 2nd German troops entered Luxemburg and, without declaration of war, violated French territory. Great Britain declared war against Germany on August 4th and against Austria on August 12th, France having broken off relations with Austria two days earlier. On Thursday, July 30th, I was sent for by the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, and was given private intimation that, if an expeditionary force were sent to France, I was to command it. On leaving the room I found some well-known newspaper correspondents in the passage. I talked a little with them and found that great doubt existed in their minds as to whether this country would support France by force of arms. This doubt was certainly shared by many. I remember well that on the morning of Saturday, August 1st, the day upon which Germany declared war on Russia, and it was known that the breaking out of hostilities between Germany and France was only a question of hours, I received a visit from the Vicomte de la Panouse, the French Military Attach? in London. He told me that the Ambassador was much disheartened in mind by these doubts and fears. We talked matters over, and he came to dinner with me that night. Personally, I felt perfectly sure that so long as Mr. Asquith remained Prime Minister, and Lord Haldane, Sir Edward Grey and Mr. Winston Churchill continued to be members of the Cabinet, their voices would guide the destinies of the British Empire, and that we should remain true to our friendly understanding with the Entente Powers. As the result of the long conversation I had with the Vicomte de la Panouse, I think I was successful in causing this conviction to prevail at the French Embassy.＜/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！】Sir John Franklin: Expeditions to Destiny Expeditions to Destiny【電子書籍】[ Anthony Dalton ]

＜p＞After Royal Navy captain Sir John Franklin disappeared in the Arctic in 1846 while seeking the Northwest Passage, the search for his two ships, Erebus and Terror, and survivors of his expedition became one of the most exhaustive quests of the 19th century. Despite tantalizing clues, the ships were never found, and the fate of Franklin’s expedition passed into legend as one of the North’s great and enduring mysteries.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Anthony Dalton explores the eventful and fascinating life of this complex and intelligent man, beginning with his early sea voyages and arduous overland explorations in the Arctic. After years in Malta and Tasmania, Franklin realized his dream of returning to the Far North; it would be his last expedition. Drawing from evidence found by 19th-century Arctic explorers following in Franklin’s footsteps and investigations by 20th-century historians and archaeologists, Dalton retraces the route of the lost ships and recounts the sad tale of Franklin, his officers and men in their final agonizing months.＜/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 Phantom of The Opera【電子書籍】[ Gaston Leroux ]

＜p＞It was the evening on which MM. Debienne and Poligny, the managers of the Opera, were giving a last gala performance to mark their retirement. Suddenly the dressing-room of La Sorelli, one of the principal dancers, was invaded by half-a-dozen young ladies of the ballet, who had come up from the stage after "dancing" Polyeucte. They rushed in amid great confusion, some giving vent to forced and unnatural laughter, others to cries of terror. Sorelli, who wished to be alone for a moment to "run through" the speech which she was to make to the resigning managers, looked around angrily at the mad and tumultuous crowd. It was little Jammesーthe girl with the tip-tilted nose, the forget-me-not eyes, the rose-red cheeks and the lily-white neck and shouldersーwho gave the explanation in a trembling voice: "It's the ghost!" And she locked the door. Sorelli's dressing-room was fitted up with official, commonplace elegance. A pier-glass, a sofa, a dressing-table and a cupboard or two provided the necessary furniture. On the walls hung a few engravings, relics of the mother, who had known the glories of the old Opera in the Rue le Peletier; portraits of Vestris, Gardel, Dupont, Bigottini. But the room seemed a palace to the brats of the corps de ballet, who were lodged in common dressing-rooms where they spent their time singing, quarreling, smacking the dressers and hair-dressers and buying one another glasses of cassis, beer, or even rhum, until the call-boy's bell rang. Sorelli was very superstitious. She shuddered when she heard little Jammes speak of the ghost, called her a "silly little fool" and then, as she was the first to believe in ghosts in general, and the Opera ghost in particular, at once asked for details: "Have you seen him?" "As plainly as I see you now!" said little Jammes, whose legs were giving way beneath her, and she dropped with a moan into a chair. Thereupon little Giryーthe girl with eyes black as sloes, hair black as ink, a swarthy complexion and a poor little skin stretched over poor little bonesーlittle Giry added: "If that's the ghost, he's very ugly!" "Oh, yes!" cried the chorus of ballet-girls. And they all began to talk together. The ghost had appeared to them in the shape of a gentleman in dress-clothes, who had suddenly stood before them in the passage, without their knowing where he came from. He seemed to have come straight through the wall. "Pooh!" said one of them, who had more or less kept her head. "You see the ghost everywhere!" And it was true. For several months, there had been nothing discussed at the Opera but this ghost in dress-clothes who stalked about the building, from top to bottom, like a shadow, who spoke to nobody, to whom nobody dared speak and who vanished as soon as he was seen, no one knowing how or where. As became a real ghost, he made no noise in walking. People began by laughing and making fun of this specter dressed like a man of fashion or an undertaker; but the ghost legend soon swelled to enormous proportions among the corps de ballet. All the girls pretended to have met this supernatural being more or less often. And those who laughed the loudest were not the most at ease. When he did not show himself, he betrayed his presence or his passing by accident, comic or serious, for which the general superstition held him responsible. Had any one met with a fall, or suffered a practical joke at the hands of one of the other girls, or lost a powderpuff, it was at once the fault of the ghost, of the Opera ghost. After all, who had seen him? You meet so many men in dress-clothes at the Opera who are not ghosts. But this dress-suit had a peculiarity of its own. It covered a skeleton. At least, so the ballet-girls said. And, of course, it had a death's head.＜/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＞This collection of poems was born from a project, that of writing significant moments of our lives as men, aroused by the reading of passages, significant for me of the Bible.＜br /＞ Beginning with the passage from Genesis that speaks of the lost Paradise, Eden.＜br /＞ From that place from which we all come and to which we all tend.＜br /＞ If we strip ourselves of our desires, of the desire to be the center of the universe, the god to whom we sacrifice everything starting from health, love, children, money, then we will discover within us the desire to return to Jesus, the desire to be loved simply for what we are.＜br /＞ If we let the child who cries out in the depths of the soul speak, then in that darkness we will discover His light, His love.＜br /＞ We will finally see who we are and His outstretched hand ready to lead us with Him forever.＜br /＞ This collection of poems is made up of three moments of my life's journey and a moment of contemplation.＜/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 Wisdom of Midlife Reclaim Your Passion, Power and Purpose【電子書籍】[ Frank Natale ]

＜p＞It is inevitable, between the ages of 39 and 55, that each of us will be confronted with a profound crisis of identity. “Now what?” we ask. The Wisdom of Midlife presents the opportunity to reclaim the passion, power and purpose we have either lost or denied. “The difficulty with this passage is that it is seen as a breakdown, an emotional and psychological failing,” Frank Natale writes. “Middle age is not the beginning of decline. This is a time to reach for the highest in our selves. Middle age is a pause to re-examine what we have done and what we will do in the future. This is the time to give birth to our power.” For thousands of years, conscious cultures have celebrated life as a circular path with rites of passage and spiritual completions. Midlife is the most powerful because, at this turning point, we often feel betrayed, unfulfilled and face our mortality for the first time. “Once we are able to think and live in circles rather than lines,” Natale counsels. “We are rewarded with passages that guide our consciousness in its spiritual development and greater awareness. When we experience life as a circle we are complete.” Frank Natale created and presented Rites of Passage seminars throughout the United States and Europe. This book shares Natale’s unique perspectives on the passages that precede midlife, from coming of age through the realization of betrayal, so we may transform this traumatic period of chaos and confusion with a clear map for conscious living.

＜p＞Picture this: "It was a simple life; a peaceful life," muses Tara, the vibrant narrator of Ram Khatri's graphic novel. But hold on, buckle up, because ＜em＞Justice＜/em＞ takes you on an emotional roller-coaster through her Nepali farming family, flipping her innocent childhood upside down. We're talking about early 2000s chaos, where Nepal became a battleground between Maoist revolutionaries and government forces. Tara's dad? Pressured to pick a side. Neighbors? Turning on each other. Young folks? Dragged away to fight. Tara's parents? Trying to dodge the drama, until Maoist rebels and government soldiers visit their home one after another, turning their barn into a hiding spot. And when the worst happens, Tara's left blaming herself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But here's the twist - the storytelling in ＜em＞Justice＜/em＞ isn't your typical tearjerker; it's a tense, heartfelt saga casting shadows over what was once a sunny childhood. This isn't just any story; it's a unique tale standing tall in the mainstream book market, rooted in the Nepali Civil War with characters and settings that pop off the page.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Let's talk about Tara's family, living the farm life during the Maoist armed conflict (1996-2006). Her elder brother? Abducted by Maoist rebels and disappeared. Cue the upheaval - threats, blame, and beatings from government soldiers. The family becomes the village outcasts, and they've got no choice but to ditch their cozy village home for a safer spot with relatives. Amidst all this, Tara and her sister, Maya, still hit the books as tensions soar.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But wait, there's more! Tara's parents, hungry for justice, head to Kathmandu, and spoiler alert - it's not a smooth ride. Dad passes away, Mom continues the hunger strike, and Tara spills all the feelings - sentiments, tensions, and worries about what the future holds for her family. Oh, and Tara's brother, Sudeep? He makes a mysterious comeback to their abandoned house, leaving us all on the edge of our seats, wondering what went down.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Justice＜/em＞, you're not just reading a story; you're diving into a roller-coaster of resilience, complexities, and a few good plot twists. So grab a seat, because this graphic novel isn't just a page-turner; it's a heart-pounder, a tearjerker, and a jaw-dropper all in one.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Fact Behind Fiction＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the tumultuous decade of the 'People's War' in Nepal during the 2000s, the toll was devastating - more than 17,000 lives were lost, and thousands of innocent civilians endured abduction and violence at the hands of both government and Maoist forces. Despite the passage of years since the war's conclusion, the fate of nearly 1,400 missing individuals remains unknown. This enduring uncertainty serves as a stark reminder of the unresolved aftermath of the conflict.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The narrative of ＜em＞Justice＜/em＞ derives its strength from the grim realities of this post-war era in Nepal. While the characters in the story are fictional, their experiences are grounded in the events that unfolded during and after the Civil War, providing a poignant portrayal of the profound impact on the lives of individuals and the nation as a whole. The narrative thus becomes a powerful conduit for understanding the lasting repercussions of the conflict and the challenges faced by a society attempting to heal from the wounds of war.＜/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。
