＜p＞＜strong＞This collection of short mysteries by the international-bestselling author of ＜em＞Dust and Shadow＜/em＞ “belongs on the top shelf with the very best of Doyle’s” (Nicholas Meyer, author of ＜em＞The Seven-Per-Cent Solution＜/em＞).＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, Edgar Award?finalist Lyndsay Faye has masterfully woven these quintessential characters into her own works of fictionーfrom her acclaimed debut novel, ＜em＞Dust and Shadow＜/em＞, to a series of short stories for the ＜em＞Strand Magazine＜/em＞, whose predecessor published the first Sherlock Holmes story in 1892.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The best of Faye’s Sherlockian tales, including two new works, are brought together in a collection that spans the character’s career, from self-taught upstart to lauded detective, both before and after he faked his own death over a Swiss waterfall in 1894. In “The Lowther Park Mystery,” the unsociable Holmes is forced to attend a garden party at the request of his politician brother and improvises a bit of theater to foil a conspiracy against the government. “The Adventure of the Thames Tunnel” brings Holmes’s attention to the murder of a jewel thief in the middle of an underground railway passage.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With Holmes and Watson encountering all manner of ungrateful relatives, phony psychologists, wronged wives, outright villains, and even a peculiar species of deadly red leech, ＜em＞The Whole Art of Detection＜/em＞ is a must-read for any fan of historical crime fiction.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞“If Lyndsay Faye’s byline weren’t on the cover, readers might deduce that the Sherlock Holmes mysteries in ＜em＞The Whole Art of Detection＜/em＞ actually came from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.” ーDavid Martindale, ＜em＞Fort Worth Star-Telegram＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/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＞＜strong＞Winner ? NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work (Fiction)＜br /＞ Winner ? Anne Izard Storytellers’ Choice Award＜br /＞ Holiday Gift Guide Selection ? ＜em＞Indiewire＜/em＞, ＜em＞San Francisco Chronicle＜/em＞, and ＜em＞Minneapolis Star-Tribune＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞These nearly 150 African American folktales animate our past and reclaim a lost cultural legacy to redefine American literature.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing from the great folklorists of the past while expanding African American lore with dozens of tales rarely seen before, ＜em＞The Annotated African American Folktales＜/em＞ revolutionizes the canon like no other volume. Following in the tradition of such classics as Arthur Huff Fauset’s “Negro Folk Tales from the South” (1927), Zora Neale Hurston’s ＜em＞Mules and Men＜/em＞ (1935), and Virginia Hamilton’s ＜em＞The People Could Fly＜/em＞ (1985), acclaimed scholars Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Maria Tatar assemble a groundbreaking collection of folktales, myths, and legends that revitalizes a vibrant African American past to produce the most comprehensive and ambitious collection of African American folktales ever published in American literary history. Arguing for the value of these deceptively simple stories as part of a sophisticated, complex, and heterogeneous cultural heritage, Gates and Tatar show how these remarkable stories deserve a place alongside the classic works of African American literature, and American literature more broadly.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Opening with two introductory essays and twenty seminal African tales as historical background, Gates and Tatar present nearly 150 African American stories, among them familiar Brer Rabbit classics, but also stories like “The Talking Skull” and “Witches Who Ride,” as well as out-of-print tales from the 1890s’ ＜em＞Southern Workman＜/em＞. Beginning with the figure of Anansi, the African trickster, master of improvisationーa spider who plots and weaves in scandalous waysー＜em＞The Annotated African American Folktales＜/em＞ then goes on to draw Caribbean and Creole tales into the orbit of the folkloric canon. It retrieves stories not seen since the Harlem Renaissance and brings back archival tales of “Negro folklore” that Booker T. Washington proclaimed had emanated from a “grapevine” that existed even ＜em＞before the American Revolution＜/em＞, stories brought over by slaves who had survived the Middle Passage. Furthermore, Gates and Tatar’s volume not only defines a new canon but reveals how these folktales were hijacked and misappropriated in previous incarnations, egregiously by Joel Chandler Harris, a Southern newspaperman, as well as by Walt Disney, who cannibalized and capitalized on Harris’s volumes by creating cartoon characters drawn from this African American lore.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Presenting these tales with illuminating annotations and hundreds of revelatory illustrations, ＜em＞The Annotated African American Folktales＜/em＞ reminds us that stories not only move, entertain, and instruct but, more fundamentally, inspire and keep hope alive.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Annotated African American Folktales＜/em＞ includes:＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞Introductory essays, nearly 150 African American stories, and 20 seminal African tales as historical background＜/li＞ ＜li＞The familiar Brer Rabbit classics, as well as news-making vernacular tales from the 1890s’ ＜em＞Southern Workman＜/em＞＜/li＞ ＜li＞An entire section of Caribbean and Latin American folktales that finally become incorporated into the canon＜/li＞ ＜li＞Approximately 200 full-color, museum-quality images＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞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！】In Search of Lost Time: Swann's Way: A Graphic Novel【電子書籍】[ Marcel Proust ]

＜p＞With its sweeping digressions into the past and reflections on the nature of memory, Proust’s oceanic novel ＜em＞In Search of Lost Time＜/em＞ looms over twentieth-century literature as one of the greatest, yet most endlessly challenging, literary experiences. Influencing writers like Virginia Woolf and James Joyce, and even anticipating Albert Einstein in its philosophical explorations of space and time, ＜em＞In Search of Lost Time＜/em＞ is a monumental achievement and reading it is a rite of passage for any serious lover of literature.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Now, in what renowned translator Arthur Goldhammer says might be “likened to a piano reduction of an orchestral score,” the French illustrator St?phane Heuet re-presents Proust in graphic form for anyone who has always dreamed of reading him but was put off by the sheer magnitude of the undertaking. This ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ best-selling graphic adaptation reveals the fundamental architecture of Proust’s work while displaying a remarkable fidelity to his language as well as the novel’s themes of time, art, and the elusiveness of memory. As Goldhammer writes in his introduction, “The reader new to Proust must attend closely, even in this compressed rendering, to the novel’s circling rhythms and abrupt cross-cuts between different places and times. But this necessary attentiveness is abetted and facilitated by the compactness of the graphic format.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this first volume, ＜em＞Swann’s Way＜/em＞, the narrator Marcel, an aspiring writer, recalls his childhood whenーin a now-immortal moment in literatureーthe taste of a madeleine cake dipped in tea unleashes a torrent of memories about his family’s country home in the town of Combray. Here, Heuet and Goldhammer use Proust’s own famously rich and labyrinthine sentences and discerning observations to render Combray like never before. From the water lilies of the Vivonne to the steeple and stained glass of the town church, Proust’s language provides the blueprint for Heuet’s illustrations. Heuet and Goldhammer also capture Proust’s humor, wit, and sometimes scathing portrayals of Combray’s many memorable inhabitants, like the lovelorn Charles Swann and the object of his affection and torment, Odette de Cr?cy; Swann’s daughter, Gilberte; local aristocrat the Duchesse de Guermantes; the narrator’s uncle Adolphe; and the hypochondriac Aunt L?onie.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Including a Proust family tree, a glossary of terms, and a map of Paris, this graphic adaptation is a surprising and useful companion piece to Proust’s masterpiece for both the initiated and those seeking an introduction.＜/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 Insider Malcolm Cowley and the Triumph of American Literature【電子書籍】[ Gerald Howard ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A delightful and majestic reckoning with the ascent of American fiction in the twentieth century through the prism of the under-known man who had an astonishing amount to do with it＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Malcolm Cowley is not a household name today, but the American literary canon would look very different without him. A prototypical “man of letters” of his generationーHarvard University, a volunteer in the French ambulance corps in World War I, a rite of passage in Paris after the warーhe became one of the few truly influential critics of the 1920s and ’30s, along with his close ＜em＞New Republic＜/em＞ colleague Edmund Wilson. Cowley’s early support of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and their setーand indeed for framing this group in generational terms in the first placeーsecured his place in literary history.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Most people are lucky to be part of a single game-changing era in their careers; for Cowley, it happened again and again. After emerging from the political fray of the thirties badly damaged, he retreated behind the scenes as a tastemaker whose import has awaited Gerald Howard to be brought into full view. The process of canon formation is a murky business, and Cowley was a prime mover in it for the better part of four decades, through the Lost Generation, the Beat Generation, and the counterculture of the sixties. Without him, the odds would be much longer that the names William Faulkner, Jack Kerouac, and Ken Kesey, to name just three, would have ever echoed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞The Insider＜/em＞, Gerald Howard gives an intimate accounting of the fever graph of a fascinating and multifaceted career in the literary trade that uses that career to tell a much bigger story of how American literature took the course that it did from the 1920s to the 1960s. It’s a story of an art form, and an industry, and a country experiencing wrenching change, and the people who made a home in the storm and in no small part shaped it. Howard’s own career as a literary weathermaker is justly acclaimed, and he has brought all his talents of head and heart to bear in crafting this extraordinary book. It’s a gift to booklovers and a major contribution to the cultural history of this country.＜/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 Last Things【電子書籍】[ Joseph Agar Beet ]

＜p＞THIS volume embodies the careful research and thought of thirty years. During the whole of that time the topics of which it treats have been matters of keen controversy between sincere and earnest servants of Christ and frequently between members of the same Church. The volume is therefore to a large extent polemic. But everywhere I have made controversy subordinate to positive teaching. And my aim throughout has been to reproduce the teaching of the Bible.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Two chief subjects are here discussed: the Second Coming of Christ, and the Future Punishment of Sin.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Of these topics, the former has been discredited by attempts to read into the unfulfilled prophecies of Holy Scripture predictions of modern history. Undeterred by the failures of earlier interpreters, successive writers have attempted to delineate the course of events in the future; pushing the dates further and further forward as earlier anticipations have been disproved. The failure and manifest folly of these attempts have led many thoughtful people to turn away from the whole subject of unfulfilled prophecy as having no bearing on the practical life of to-day. Even the plainly foretold return of Christ to judge the world, which occupies so large a place in the New Testament, has been in great measure overlooked. To others, this oversight has given to the subject undue importance.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The practical use of the future punishment of sin as a means of moral suasion has made it in all ages a favourite topic in the pulpit. And popular preachers have used a free hand in delineating the sufferings of the lost. But, in modern times a quickened moral sense has revolted against the heartless and awful pictures in which some preachers have indulged. The analogy of righteous human government has taught them that divine punishment must be in harmony with the proportion and fitness of things. This revolt against the rhetoric of the pulpit has demanded and compelled a reconsideration of the whole subject.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This reconsideration has suggested, in opposition to the popular theory of the endless torment of the lost, other milder theories of the future punishment of sin. And the advocates of these theories have claimed for them, with more or less confidence, the authority of the New Testament.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this volume I have endeavoured to reproduce, impartially and fully, the teaching of the New Testament on both departments of the subject before us. In so doing, I have dealt with each writer separately, endeavouring to comprehend his teaching as a whole and as distinguished from that of other sacred writers. I have then put together these various types of teaching and looked at them as a whole. This method enables us to see in theological perspective the doctrines before us, to estimate their proportionate place in the New Testament and in the Gospel of Christ and the amount and decisiveness of the evidence on which they rest.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The result of our inquiry is a definite and harmonious general doctrine of the Second Coming of Christ resting securely on the testimony of various sacred writers. Along with this general doctrine, which we may accept with confidence, we find in one passage of the Book of Revelation teaching not easy to harmonise with it; and we find here and there in the New Testament indications of an expectation of an early return of Christ not justified by the event. Various theories ancient and modern of the Future Punishment of Sin have been found to contradict or to go beyond the teaching of the New Testament. But we have found underlying the teaching of all the writers of the New Testament, and have been able to formulate, a doctrine which claims the reverent approval of the moral sense of man, is in harmony with all we know about sin and about God, and is a powerful deterrent from sin.＜/p＞ ＜p＞WESLEYAN COLLEGE, RICHMOND,＜br /＞ 13th September, 1897.＜/p＞ ＜p＞CrossReach Publications＜/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！】Willy A Novella【電子書籍】[ I. J. Singer ]

＜p＞While Willy has neither the multi-generational sweep nor the moral gravitas of I. J. Singer’s family sagas, its themes are nonetheless timeless, its struggles archetypal. A father and son quarrel, and, in the process, a richly compact narrative emerges. Their respective stories define what is lost and what is gained in immigrant passage to the new world. The eponymous hero, Volf RubinーWilly (Vili) Robin in Americaーis the rare agon who shares center stage with his antagonist, that is, his more voluble paterfamilias. The sententious Hirshーmodeled on the chief rabbi of Nyesheve and Singer's own painful childhood encounters with his savage brutalityーtenaciously holds on to some of the more merciless pronouncements derived from a literalist reading and application of Jewish law. Such is the heavy baggage which, according to Volf, should have been left behind in steerage.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Volf's lapsed Judaism is his father’s dystopian nightmare: a collection of Halakhic transgressions, and worse, his renunciation of study. Volf’s school is the meadow, the farm, and the stable: all comprise an idyllic revision of the scene of instruction. He is a devotee of nature, its flora and especially its fauna. Volf’s love for his horses is steadfast and “unbridled”: he holds on to their manes without the mediation of man-made straps of leather. Through an unforeseen turn of events and peripety, Hirsh finds undeserved recompense. Volf, on the other hand, has subverted his own life-long effort to spurn his father's spiritual patrimony. Hence the dual narrative of father and son, deriving from orthodox observance and heterodox dissent respectively, has been lifted wholesale from Europe to America and obtains with equal force on both sides of the Atlantic.＜/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！】Lost Shepherd What Believers Once Knew about Psalm 23 That the Modern World Has Forgotten【電子書籍】[ Mark Fugitt ]

＜p＞＜strong＞You are not the first sheep to follow the Shepherd; and you will not be the last.＜/strong＞ For 3,000 years, people of faith have found meaning and comfort in the 23rd Psalm. This widely known song has had an impact across time and culture. But in the twenty-first century, this psalm appears idle. For many, it only serves as a short reading at the end of funerals. How did this happen? Most books about Psalm 23 focus only on the author's interpretation. Many are wonderful, yet they offer only perspectives of modern Christians. ＜em＞Lost Shepherd＜/em＞ seeks to enrich the meaning of a passage many Christians believe is almost "too familiar" to appreciate. This book is the perfect cure to break Psalm 23 out of the category of nostalgia and return it to relevance in our daily lives by looking far into the past. ＜em＞Lost Shepherd＜/em＞ allows you to stand with the sheep who have gone before, revealing a better look into the face of our Shepherd. Each chapter examines a line from the psalm and discusses how it has encouraged devotion over the centuries and continues to feed our souls today. Rediscover lost interpretations and consider how Psalm 23 can form your spirit, serving as a source of wisdom for a new generation of Christians.＜/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＞＜em＞"Splashing the Memories"＜/em＞ is a poetic exploration of love and loss, set against the vivid symbolism of water's constant flow and change. The story follows Noah and Emilia as their once-hopeful relationship gradually dissolves into emotional turbulence, trust erodes, and memories fragment like broken reflections. Through a series of vivid, action-driven scenes, the narrative depicts their struggle to hold onto love amid doubt, regret, and inevitable separation. As their connection ebbs and their worlds drift apart, they become trapped in a cycle of longing, silence, and despair, culminating in a profound ending where hope is drowned, and the story fades into emotional oblivion. Ultimately, the novel captures the relentless, unstoppable passage of time and the tragic beauty of love lost to the inexorable currents of change.＜/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＞Bishop and Maggie are determined not to let their parents’ tragic deaths ruin their long-awaited vacation to Ireland. Then a puckish leprechaun grants their most secret wish…the forbidden taboo passion they’ve both secretly dreamed about! Anything can happenーanything at allーwhen two horny teenagers travel into the Irish hills, and churning lust and leprechaun magic collide!＜/p＞ ＜p＞~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~＜/p＞ ＜p＞Cynthia had always resented Maggie, whose ethereal waiflike beauty had made her seem big and clumsy in comparison.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She hadn’t been clumsy in bed, he thought wistfully. Far from it. But he hadn’t loved her; walking away after that last stormy argument had been easy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And her caustic accusations had stung, especially because they’d been so insulting. “I swear you two act more like lovers than siblings! Sleeping in her bed is just perverted, Bishop…and don’t give me that old song about how she’s so lost and afraid right now! So what if she has nightmares? They’ll never stop if you keep coddling her like an invalid! How long before she turns to you for everything?” And it had been clear from her revolted expression that ‘everything’ included explosive, illicit sex.＜/p＞ ＜p＞That had been the final straw, and he’d stalked from her apartment in a cold fury.＜/p＞ ＜p＞He’d made the right decision. No way he could keep dating someone who said such vile things about his little sister!＜/p＞ ＜p＞He’d never lifted his hand to a woman before, but she ought to be grateful he hadn’t slugged her on the way out!＜/p＞ ＜p＞He missed the sultry pleasure he’d always found between her parted thighs, though.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Cynthia was wrong. There was nothing evil or perverted about offering comfort to a sobbing teenage girl whose tender heart had been broken.＜/p＞ ＜p＞He adored Maggie…of course he did! She was his little sister! But he didn’t feel the slightest sexual attraction for her. Why, even the thought of gliding his hands over her petite body was…＜/p＞ ＜p＞Oddly disturbing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞He realized, with sudden horrified shock, that he was getting hard, and his eager shaft was straining mindlessly against his jeans zipper.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Cynthia’s fault, he sternly reminded himself. She’d been a delusional, treacherous bitch, but there was no denying she’d been dynamite in bed. Absolutely anything had been fair game, and she’d been incredibly inventive!＜/p＞ ＜p＞Down, boy! he commanded his eager shaft when it thrust up even higher, and swelled to its full impressive size. You aren’t going to be deprived forever. When we get back to the States… Or maybe we’ll meet up with a cute Irish lass who’ll be just as warm and willing as Cynthia was, and she’ll help us ease the tension.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Briefly he tried to imagine seducing the pretty barmaid who’d served them last night. Her curvy body had been lush, and her teasing wink had been inviting. If Maggie hadn’t been there, he’d have invited her to his hotel room, eased her out of that skimpy uniform, stretched her out on the bed, spread her long legs wide, and…＜/p＞ ＜p＞The zipper was starting to bite into his sensitive flesh. Flushing, he dropped back a few paces, then hastily rearranged his briefs to ease the growing pain. That helped a little…＜/p＞ ＜p＞But the moment his willful mind began wandering again, the sassy barmaid’s ripe body morphed into perfectly-shaped creamy skin that quivered beneath his eager palms and tasted like ambrosia. And the breathless voice that rose in ecstatic delight when he thrust deep into her tight little passage was far too familiar.＜/p＞ ＜p＞He jolted so violently that Maggie cast him a startled glance, and he hastily swatted at a nonexistent bug before she could ask what was wrong.＜/p＞ ＜p＞He wasn’t getting unbearably aroused by fantasizing about his pretty little sister; the very idea was unthinkable!＜/p＞ ＜p＞So why couldn’t he stop thinking about it?＜/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＞Excerpt: ""Heaven aid me! here am I nowーwhich way shall I turnーadvance or retire?" exclaimed Balgonie, as his horse came plunging down almost on its knees, amid wild gorse and matted jungle. A cold day in the middle of April had passed away; a pale and cheerless sun, that had cast no heat on the leafless scenery and the half-frozen marshes that border the Louga in Western Russia, had sunk, and the darkness of a stormy night came on rapidly. The keen blast of the north, that swept the arid scalps of the Dudenhof (the only range of hills that traverses the ancient Ingria), was bellowing through a gorge, where the Louga poured in foam upon its passage to the Gulf of Finland, between steep banks that were covered by gloomy pines, when the speaker, a mounted officer in Russian uniform, who seemed too surely to have lost his way, reined up a weary and mud-covered horse on the margin of the stream, and by the light that yet lingered on the tops of the tall pines, and gilded faintly the metal-covered domes of a distant building on the opposite bank, looked hopelessly about him for the means of crossing the dangerous river."＜/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。

Maybe it's the passage of time that has dulled his memory ... or maybe it's the wheelchair in which Mason is confined.＜br /＞ As the two wait to be rescued, Mason recalls their six month love affair -- its uncertain beginning, its athletic highs both on and off the field, its romantic peacefulness spent at the Grant's remote lake cabin, as well as its painful lows and horrific conclusion.＜br /＞ The teenage Mason realized there were two sides to his lover -- the confident Parker, an athletic hero popular with both teammates and female students, and the private Parker, who is unsure, sexually submissive, and needs to be cuddled and petted. All Mason wanted then was for Parker to love him, and not diminish what they shared by giving in to the social pressures that demanded he play out the role of football jock and studly lady killer.＜br /＞ Now that they're grown men, what happens when Parker sees past Mason's wheelchair and realizes who's trapped in the elevator with him?＜/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！】Accelerating the Clock【電子書籍】[ Astern Blatt ]

＜p＞＜em＞"Accelerating the Clock"＜/em＞ is a poignant exploration of love and loss, told through the symbolism of clocks and the relentless march of time. It follows Noah and Emilia, whose relationship gradually unravels as they become prisoners of their perceptions of time slipping away. From hopeful beginnings, they drift into silence, broken gears, and frozen moments, ultimately accepting that some love cannot be rewound. Their actionsーsilent gestures, futile repairs, and silent goodbyesーhighlight the inevitable decay of what once was. As their internal clocks stop ticking, they retreat into solitude, haunted by memories and the weight of lost moments. The story culminates in a bleak acknowledgment: some clocks are meant to be stopped forever, and some love stories are destined to fade into silence, leaving behind only the echoes of what once was. A haunting meditation on the passage of time, regret, and the impossibility of reclaiming what has slipped beyond reach.＜/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 Day of Resis【電子書籍】[ Lillian Frances Mentor ]

＜p＞Excerpt: "The following letter and document were the first causes of the long journey, and strange adventure. "Dear Miss Cameron:ーYou will probably be much surprised to hear from me in this out-of-the-way place, but knowing the pleasure you take in everything pertaining to Africa, I thought you might be interested in a matter which came before my notice recently. Some months ago I joined a hunting party bound for the interior of Africa, and on our return march at Rehenoko we fell in with another caravan bound for the coast. Having a common destination, Zanzibar, we travelled together. An Abyssinian, Sedai by name, was in charge of this caravan. He is a large, powerful man, and very intelligent. I often talked with him during the long marches, and one day he told me that he had on this trip, come across a strange manuscript, a part of which he had been able to decipher, but some words of which he could not make out. He asked me to help him decipher the difficult phrases; so that evening, after everything had been made snug for the night, Sedai produced a piece of goat-skin, on which was inscribed the following strange tale. 'Name Philip HardingーEnglishーleft England July 6, 1801ーZanzibar, February 16, 1802ーexpedition just left Bagamayoーmyself and nine other sailors started to overtake itーon 26th, lost our wayーwandered long and farーhostile tribesーfightーfour men killedーothers escapedーthree die with fever, reach mountainsーone man killed by lionーdiscover opening into mountainーmake torches and enterーcompanion starvedーdiscovered line of broken stonesーfollowed theseーfound bridgeーcrossed thisーfollowed stones againーfound secret doorーLand of Onーpeople thought me from another planetーlived in templeーstrange peopleーno knowledge or connection with outside worldーhighly civilized in their wayーhave strange Day of Resisーmysterious ceremonies on this dayーpeople never mention itーday sacredーhere nineteen years one month and sixteen daysーmade escapeーlooked five days for opening keyーremoved stone set in cliff behind palm tree under eagle's rock mountainーlifted lever seen in springーrock door turned giving time to pass throughーpassed into caveーcrossed bridgeーdropped torches in lake, am lostーexhaustedーstarvingーif document ever found write friendsーgrowing weakerーcan write no moーー' Here the writing ended. The first part, or that part which had been written before entering the cave was in regular lines, but the last was evidently written after entering the dark cave, or passage, as the characters were scattered and very irregular. Sedai intends placing the matter before the next party who are about to enter the interior, and have them look up the mysterious cave and land. He says that the old man, of whom he got the manuscript, is still living, and knows the entrance to the cave, in which he found the body of Harding still warm, and on it this strange document."＜/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＞Young readers who love a swashbuckling yarn will be captivated by The Dark Frigate, winner of the 1924 Newbery Medal as the year's most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. Abounding in intrigue, battles, and acts of derring-do, the story takes place in the 17th century and charts a course from England to the Caribbean. The hero, Philip Marsham, lost his mother at an early age and was raised aboard various ships by his sea captain father. Alas, a premature death also claims 19-year-old Philip's father, and now he's truly alone in the world. When an accident forces him to flee from London, Philip looks to the sea for his livelihood. Upon meeting some sailors bound for the port of Bideford, Philip joins them in signing on with the Rose of Devon, a frigate bound for Newfoundland. Their transatlantic passage is disrupted by an encounter with a floating wreck, and their rescue of the survivors is repaid with foul treachery by these "gentlemen of fortune" ー a band of bloodthirsty pirates who coerce Philip and the rest of the crew into joining in their murderous deeds. Will Philip hang alongside them when the buccaneers are brought to justice?＜/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。
