＜p＞This book is for all the lovers out there. I send this to you with all my love. Has your heart been broken? You loved once but that love was not returned or you have lost your true love. A poem can be like that sad song we love to play over and over. When we are feeling down can touch or speak to us deep within, comforting somehow, offering a beacon of light. This is a book of poems written from that place, when we can't yet see the light at the end of the tunnel. The idea of writing enough poems for a book surprised me more than anyone, but here it is, and I still have more poems to include in future books. I hope you enjoy 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。

She is the image of Bendog, although smaller and much younger.＜br /＞ The children, Matt 10 years old and his sister Lucy 8 years old are delighted and comforted by the resemblance to their old Bendog. Lucy believes she can ‘talk dog’ and begins speaking secret messages into the little dog’s ears.＜br /＞ They return from their days outing to find an awesome discovery of lost treasure sitting outside their gate. Great jubilations are abundant as Lucy’s resolve of being able to ‘talk dog’ gather momentum and are ushered quickly into the garden to meet ‘The Nan’ before falling foul to rotten tomatoes etc. hurtling through the warm air from retired neighbors as they cling to their precious siesta time.＜br /＞ A plan is hatched to take our new arrival around the neighbourhood in case she is recognised and reunited with her owner. We drop into the local bar for refreshments and pass the perky peacocks on our route home.

【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！】Slacker Manifesting - The Art of Chilling Out to Get What You Want【電子書籍】[ Jeannette Maw ]

＜p＞Some of us have been misinformed about what it takes to succeed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞We were taught to work hard, never give up, and pay our dues with blood, sweat and tears in order to get what we want.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And lots of us have been practicing that ? slowly but surely driving ourselves into a state of overwhelm and exhaustion.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It turns out that was bad advice.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For a variety of reasons.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Because working hard for what you want doesn't actually work that well. It's unreliable, it's a long road there, and it isn't much fun. Not to mention we we wear ourselves ? physically and emotionally ? in the process.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There's a better way to bring your dreams to life ? and although it seems radical it makes perfect sense from a physics perspective and is also proven to be highly effective. I'm talking about doing less to get more. About embracing the art of doing "nothing" while still creating lots of good "something."＜/p＞ ＜p＞It's called Slacker Manifesting: the art of chilling out to get what you want.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If you've been driving yourself to exhaustion without getting the results you really want, this book is for you.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It covers what slacker manifesting is, why it makes all the difference in dreams coming true, and how to practice it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Including how to get past the "yeah buts" that keep us from being willing to slow down and enjoy life more:＜/p＞ ＜blockquote＞ ＜blockquote＞ ＜p＞But don't some things HAVE to be done?＜br /＞ If I don't do it, no one will.＜br /＞ Isn't anything worth having worth working hard for?＜br /＞ Others will think I'm lazy.＜br /＞ It sounds too good to be true (that doing less results in more).＜br /＞ I don't know how to change.＜br /＞ I tried it and it didn't work.＜br /＞ I don't have the freedom to practice this.＜/p＞ ＜/blockquote＞ ＜/blockquote＞ ＜p＞It also includes slacking success stories in a variety of areas of life, including weight loss, a cancer cure, a financial windfall, gaining new skills, knocking out to do lists, finding a lost dog, and more.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I wrote Slacker Manifesting specifically for:＜/p＞ ＜blockquote＞ ＜blockquote＞ ＜p＞people who don't understand why they're exerting more effort than ever but getting less than fabulous results＜br /＞ for those who unknowingly sabotage their success by working too hard for it＜br /＞ for folks who are afraid that if they let their guard down and enjoy life a little, they'll fall behind＜br /＞ and for people who might understand (theoretically) that working harder doesn't work ? but have a hard time trusting and practicing it.＜/p＞ ＜/blockquote＞ ＜/blockquote＞ ＜p＞The reality is many of us are trying very hard to create what we want, not realizing that trying hard actually keeps us from the happy ending we want.＜/p＞ ＜p＞So if you're curious about another alternative; if you'd like to let go of the struggle; if you suspect there's more to life than you're experiencing; and if you would like to investigate a way to enjoy the journey while STILL getting the goods, this book is for you.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Slacking your way to success requires a willingness to drop old habits, to ignore the opinion of those around you still doing things the old way, and to consciously restructure your beliefs. But the rewards are well worth it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And if you've already read it, I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences here on the Slacker facebook page.＜/p＞ ＜p＞My sincere thanks for playing with a new way of getting what you want.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The world will be a more more satisfied and happier place because of you and your slacker ways!＜/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！】Memorable Meals with Quilty Illustrated by Ohm Pattanachoti【電子書籍】[ Rip William ]

＜p＞'Memorable Meals with Quilty' is a book of seven short stories about the love of food and wine. It is a romantic look at dining on the grand scale, harking back to when people ate extravagantly. Quilty, a man of considerable size and personality, is at the end of his life, so he enlists our narrator, Sprite, to join him on his final quest, revisiting his favourite haunts for one last meal.＜br /＞ Each whimsical journey is an epicurean delight, and through the use of fictional restaurants a particular style of cuisine is championed. Quilty, the passionate gourmet, passes along interesting and informative tidbits from his long experience to our storyteller. No meal, however, is truly memorable without the addition of a little humour and pathos. So the recipe for each story is a sprinkling of nonsense, a dash of sorrow, and a final touch of folly.＜br /＞ Award winning Thai Artist Ohm Pattanachoti has contributed drawings for each story.＜br /＞ Stories include:-＜br /＞ 'The Last Champion of Escoffier' reminds people of the important contribution this famous chef has made to modern cooking, and at the same time we discover Quilty's passion for food and wine came about as a result of unrequited love.＜br /＞ 'A Tuscan Tarantella' turns out to be more than a feast celebrating one of Italy's finest food areas, we learn of Quilty's amazing ability to dance.＜br /＞ 'A Greek Drama' finds Quilty caught in a clash between traditional cooking and modern interpretation, and in true Hellenic fashion, catharsis results.＜br /＞ 'A Chinese Rebellion' - It's not just the Peking Duck that gets a roasting in this Cantonese feast when Quilty loses his temper.＜br /＞ 'Lunching with Carmen' - Back on his feet after suffering a mild heart attack Quilty makes a nostalgic visit to a famous Spanish restaurant, and despite the fact it has changed with the times the presence of the owner's fiery daughter ignites youthful passions.＜br /＞ 'Divine Wind' ? Quilty, confined to quarters as a result of a minor stroke, gets his old friend Yoshi Agastuma to cook a Japanese lunch at his home, however a foreboding atmosphere of mortality pervades the feast.＜br /＞ 'The Tears of Lebanon'- With Quilty's passing Sprite tenderly recalls their final lunch together at Madame Habib's famous Lebanese restaurant, and reveals a surprising secret.＜/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！】Twisted【電子書籍】[ Vanessa Wright ]

＜p＞A collection of 22 short stories from the bizarre to the truly chilling as the author takes you along for a roller coaster ride, welcoming you to the darker side of humanity. She delves into the shadowy world of obsessions, addictions, death and the loss of innocence and imagination. She takes an honest, in depth look at things that happen all around us, yet we tend to ignore. Here we are forced to look at the pain of what it means to be human in all its various facets and to truly explore the face that looks back at us in the mirror. No one is truly good or truly evil; nothing is exclusively beautiful or ugly, we are a sublime mix of the two, walking the tightrope median between the two opposites. The author expects the reader to think about what he has just read and to question the so called normalcy of everyday life. She peels back the layers to reveal the hidden skeletons in the closet. Fear, doubt, depression, loneliness, bulimia are only some of the elements which are open for discussion. As a society we have shied away from the darker aspects that are certainly part and parcel of who we are. Surely the path to true wisdom and resolution of these issues lies in the enlightenment thereof, the dusting off of the cobwebs in the cupboard. From the age of mythology as in The other side of truth, the human race has given free rein to this dark element; whilst the lesson of being careful what you wish for is humorously explored in What the cat dragged in, a modern take on an age old fairy tale. Throughout life we lose innocence, childish imagination and the sheer joy at the creation of a new life. These elements are highlighted in the stories, Imagination as well as The Foetus. As a native of South Africa one of the stories has been set specifically in the Apartheid era, revealing the pain of having a different coloured skin than has been deemed normal- Outsider. Cyber Voyeur explores the obsession we have developed with social networking as a whole; whilst Spring cleaning and Grave tears explores the world of murderous intentions, both premeditated and involuntary. The stories truly run the gamut of the human experience and are richly and superbly portrayed.＜/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＞Kisses from a Distance is an engaging, true story that examines the Lebanese ethos through the lives and travails of three families before and after immigration to America. The tale begins in 1895 at a remote convent in the mountains of Lebanon where a young postulant, the author's grandmother, is abducted and given into an unanticipated, and unwanted, marriage.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book takes the reader on a personalized journey through the tragedies caused by war, famine, pestilence, and death, one that examines an emerging post-feudal Lebanese society, and the conditions that impelled the great migration that took place between 1885 and 1914.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"The population had long since exceeded the land's ability to sustain it, and soon the few pebbles that tumbled down the mountain and rolled onto ships heading west, became an avalanche of humanity seeking passage to the land of opportunity."＜br /＞ Kisses from a Distance; Chapter 3, p. 37.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This work is not the normal nostalgic reminiscences of a memoir writer but an important historical document told in an engaging non-historical style. There are no dry recitations of dates and events but instead an interestingly woven tale of circumstances as lived by the principal characters in the story. The reader is taken on a rewarding journey that utilizes rare documents to relate the story in the characters' own words.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Reviewer Sam Hazo, Director of the International Poetry Forum in Pittsburgh, Pa. had this to say: "This book has something for all whose personal or family history includes immigration.

古本, フィクション, 文学, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Education of Little Tree - Forrest Carter (Univ of New Mexico Pr) 【紙書籍】 9780826308795

タイトル: Education of Little Tree著者: Forrest Carter出版社: Univ of New Mexico Pr出版日: 1990年07月01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。Forrest Carter, from the age of four or five, was inseparable from his part-Cherokee grandfather, who owned a farm and ran a country store nearby. Granpa called him Little Sprout; when he grew taller, he became Little Tree. From Granpa he absorbed the Cherokee ethic; to give love without expecting gratitude, to take from the land only what you need. Little Tree watches a mountain storm when Nature is birthing Spring, learns bird signs and wind songs and which crops to plant by the dark of the moon. He hears the true story of the Cherokee Trail of Tears, and why it is not the Indian who wept, but the watching white man. From a Jewish peddler who came every season to Granpa's store he learns a lesson in charity; from a sharecropper he learns to understand misplaced pride. He escapes death through Granpa's courage and confronts, for the first time, the hypocrisy and brutality of white Americans.Much of the lore passed from generation to generation by word of mouth is found in these stories in "The Education of Little Tree," autobiographical if not all factually accurate. For instance, Granma is based on family memories of Carter's great-great-great grandmother (Granpa's great-grandmother), who was a full Cherokee, combined with the author's own mother, who read Shakespeare to him when he was a child. But Granpa is all and forever true in this storyteller's memoir of a time that ended when Little Tree was ten and Granpa died.

At one meeting Evie Pikler asked to sing a song she'd written more than thirty years before. Evie sang 'Australia Calls Us Home'. Tears welled in my eyes after she finished her song.

【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！】Poetry Against Terror【電子書籍】[ Fabrizio Frosini ]

＜p＞Terrorism, which is one of the most important topics in the world today, refers to any act designed to cause 'terror' by means of violence or the threat of violence. As a fundamental rule, terrorism is politically and emotionally charged, because it is meant to instill fear within, and thereby intimidate people ? an entire country or even the whole world. Terrorism is certainly frightening, but the best way we can fight it is by living our lives without terror.＜br /＞ At the UN webpage on terrorism, we read: "Countering this scourge is in the interest of all nations and the issue has been on the agenda of the United Nations for decades."＜br /＞ Now we can understand why Poets from 43 different countries have written a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and to the Presidents of each of the countries whence they come from.＜br /＞ As stated in the letter to Mr Ban Ki-moon: “Through the poems, we wish to express our unanimous desire for universal peace and to add our voice to those other unequivocal voices at the United Nations who say 'NO' to the scourge of terrorism”.＜br /＞ It is a symbolic gesture, but it highlights their commitment as "Poets against Terror".＜/p＞ ＜p＞As Fabrizio Frosini, the publisher, says: “I started this editorial project after the murdering of so many innocents in Paris, on November 13, 2015, as a tribute to them and to the countless other victims of terror, worldwide. I started the project, but it is a collective book: a compilation of poems written by poets from 43 different countries, worldwide, who believe in peace and brotherhood, and are against any kind of 'terror'.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Other voices of the Poets:＜/p＞ ＜p＞This project is about compassion for the victims of terrorism, it's a celebration of a simple equation: 'violence = more violence; peace = peace'. We have made it clear, we are not debating causes, but mourning a particular 'effect' which is the intentional murder of innocents''. - D.J. Brick, USA＜/p＞ ＜p＞As someone born in Sri Lanka, a country that will always be remembered as the birth place of the suicide bombing, I can only offer my own tears to lessen the pain and to heal from this terrible plague and my own sweat to lay one brick to build a universal home for peace. - D. Gunawardana, Sri Lanka＜/p＞ ＜p＞Наши потери мучительны, но террор - это инструмент манипуляции через запугивание, поэтому нам следует искать истинные причины, а не реагировать слепо.＜br /＞ Our losses are painful, but terror is a tool of manipulation via frightening, so we should search for the true reasons and not react blindly. - G. Italyanskaya, Russia＜/p＞ ＜p＞The most difficult aspect to accept about all the senseless violence in the world is the fact that we are doing this to each other, and that by now negative political, religious and social dynamics have become so complex that it is hard to believe in a better future. Therefore, each person must begin with him- or herself in contributing peace and non-violent solutions to our shared humanity. - B. B. Linder, Germany＜/p＞ ＜p＞Iwe neni tikabatana, nyika inobudirira (in Shona)＜br /＞ You are because I am, together we can make the world a better place - T. Makadho, Zimbabwe＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jag s?rjer och st?djer med all min v?nlighet ,med tanken p? alla oskyldiga offer och anh?riga,och tyst gr?tande hj?rtan,min tro bygger p? ett liv utan grymhet, och ord som v?gar uttrycka solidaritet.＜br /＞ I gave rise to much kindness, I think of all the people and children and the hearts of silence cry, I admit a new faith without cruel life, how to find words how dare to dare. - I.

＜p＞“A Tragic & Inspirational Story Told by a Woman Who Can Not Speak”＜br /＞ What would you do if you suddenly found everything you knew was taken away from you? What if in the blink of an eye, you no longer were able to speak, walk, work, or dress yourself? What would you do if you could not even tell your children that you loved them? For Debbie Killebrew, these horrible questions came true in one night of drinking that changed her life forever. However, Debbie has fought to overcome the impossible, even when she was told that she would never walk again, never drive again, and never live a normal life again. Her inspiring true story will show you that no matter what twists and turns life takes, you can get up and keep going ? and also serves as an unfortunately realistic testimony about how drinking and driving can truly take away everything you know.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“If she could form the words she would talk of regret for ignoring her twin boys when they begged her not to leave that night. If she could cry, she would try to wash away the sorrow. But the tears can’t come. If she had full use of her hands, she might try to hold on to the past.

【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！】Under Her Spell【電子書籍】[ Isabella Ashe ]

＜p＞Zachary Callahan is the darkly handsome editor of a magazine dedicated to proving that cold, hard scientific fact reign supreme. When he hears about a small-town shop selling "love potions", he's determined to prove that there's no such thing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To his chagrin, shop proprietor Bryony Lowell -- with her wide, dreamy green eyes and enchanting red-gold hair -- won't sell him her allegedly magical elixir. It's only when he accepts a bet and agrees to take the potion himself that he realizes that his heart's in danger.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Will Zach fall under Bryony's spell? He's determined to win the bet, but for some reason he can't stop thinking about what it would be like to tangle his fingers in her coppery hair and draw her close for just one kiss....＜/p＞ ＜p＞EXCERPT＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Just listen, please? Both of you. I've got the solution to this whole mess."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Zach shrugged. "It can't hurt to hear her out."＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Fine, but that's all I'm doing," Bryony said. "Listening."＜/p＞ ＜p＞She stuck out her bottom lip like a rebellious child and stole a peek at Zach. He was rocking back on his heels, his muscular arms crossed, his brows arched in amused anticipation. He looked totally cool and collected, the opposite of how she felt. Her cheeks still burned, and her throat ached with suppressed tears.＜/p＞ ＜p＞How dare he, she thought. Underneath the outrage, however, lurked a different sentiment. Discovering Zach's true identity, Bryony had suddenly seen herself through his eyes. He must view her as just another flaky female to ridicule and expose.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Three sets of eyes focused on Vivien, who was obviously relishing her role as the center of attention. "I propose a test," she said. "A test of Bryony's love elixir. We'll prove it works -- to your satisfaction, Mr. Callahan."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Zach snorted. "How will you manage that?"＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Because you'll be the guinea pig."＜/p＞ ＜p＞"What?" three incredulous voices chorused.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"That's right," Vivien said, relishing the moment. "Zach will drink the potion. When he falls in love, he'll know its magical powers are authentic."＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Ah," Zach said, smiling. "And who's the lucky lady?"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Bryony glared daggers at her sister, warning her not to say it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Vivien ignored her. "Why, Bryony, of course," she said. "Who else?"＜/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！】Note to Self: Stream of Consciousness【電子書籍】[ Tim Yearneau ]

＜p＞Two weeks, that's all I had. Sent to be a delegate the votes could wait, but Atlanta wouldn't. I became part prophet, part tourist with a splash of barbeque and Hollywood to boot. Southern hospitality ruled strong, yet tears rolled down my cheeks. I crooned in the life of luxury, but this led to a paradox.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Browsing the streets were a cast of humanity - the Georgia Peach, an officer of the law, and a soccer fanatic. They came to where dreams come true. And they all had one thing in common, they talked to me. It didn't stop with them; an owner's daughter speaks, Naughty girl met denial, Duckman swallowed, and Abe Lincoln said let's make a deal. All in a days work.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Sherman started his famous March to the Sea in Atlanta. Here, in this travel memoir, Mr. Y. makes his own March to Atlanta. It's where moral conflict broods and serendipity percolates from irrevocable moments. In the here and now Ghandi stands with Martin Luther King. The past becomes the present and the present fades to the past.＜/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。
