For Alice Marie Johnson the answer lies with God.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For years, Alice lived a normal life without a criminal recordーshe was a manager at FedEx, a wife, and a mother. But after an emotionally and financially tumultuous period in her life left her with few options, she turned to crime as a way to pay off her mounting debts. Convicted in 1996 for her nonviolent involvement in a Memphis cocaine trafficking organization, Alice received a life sentence under the mandatory sentencing laws of the time. Locked behind bars, Alice looked to God. Eventually becoming an ordained minister, she relied on her faith to sustain hope over more than two decadesーuntil 2018, when the president commuted her sentence at the behest of Kim Kardashian West, who had taken up Alice's cause.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this honest, faith-driven memoir, Alice explains how she held on to hope and gave it to others, from becoming a playwright to mentoring her fellow prisoners. She reveals how Christianity and her unshakeable belief in God helped her persevere and inspired her to share her faith in a video that would go viralーand come to the attention of celebrities who were moved to action.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Today, Alice is an icon for the prison reform movement and a humble servant who embraces gratitude and God for her freedom. In this powerful book, she recalls all of the firsts she has experienced through her activism and provides an authentic portrait of the crisis that is mass incarceration. Linking social justice to spiritual faith, she makes a persuasive and poignant argument for justice that transcends tribal politics. Her story is a beacon in the darkness of despair, reminding us of the power of redemption and the importance of making second chances count.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞After Life＜/em＞ features 16 pages of color photographs.＜/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＞＜strong＞“He was persuaded he could know no happiness but in the society of one with whom he could for ever indulge the melancholy that had taken possession of his soul.”＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Castle of Otranto＜/em＞ is a macabre tale that revolves around a haunted castle. Manfred, the lord of Otranto, finds his son, Conrad, smashed by an enormous helmet on his wedding day. It is soon revealed that according to an ancient ambiguous prophecy Conrad's death might have been an ominous event that signifies the end of his lordship. To rectify the situation Manfred decides to marry his son's bride despite having a wife. Will Manfred plot succeed? Is he indeed a true prince of the castle?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Walpole got the inspiration for this bizarre story from a dream. He gave his novel a very authentic embellishment using the plan of Strawberry Hill castle for the set in the novel. He also went as far as to make a believable spoof in the Preface to the first edition that the novel was recovered and translated from an old Italian manuscript. Not as culturally present and talked about a title as other Gothic classics like ＜em＞Frankenstein＜/em＞ or ＜em＞Dracula＜/em＞, ＜em＞Otranto＜/em＞ became the cornerstone text of the genre. The echoings of ＜em＞Otranto＜/em＞ are even noticeable in more contemporary gothic tales such as Toni Morrison's ＜em＞Beloved＜/em＞ where a building is more than a location but an entire mysterious entity in itself.＜/p＞ ＜hr /＞ ＜p＞The ＜em＞Legend Classics＜/em＞ series:＜br /＞ Around the World in Eighty Days＜br /＞ The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn＜br /＞ The Importance of Being Earnest＜br /＞ Alice's Adventures in Wonderland＜br /＞ The Metamorphosis＜br /＞ The Railway Children＜br /＞ The Hound of the Baskervilles＜br /＞ Frankenstein＜br /＞ Wuthering Heights＜br /＞ Three Men in a Boat＜br /＞ The Time Machine＜br /＞ Little Women＜br /＞ Anne of Green Gables＜br /＞ The Jungle Book＜br /＞ The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories＜br /＞ Dracula＜br /＞ A Study in Scarlet＜br /＞ Leaves of Grass＜br /＞ The Secret Garden＜br /＞ The War of the Worlds＜br /＞ A Christmas Carol＜br /＞ Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde＜br /＞ Heart of Darkness＜br /＞ The Scarlet Letter＜br /＞ This Side of Paradise＜br /＞ Oliver Twist＜br /＞ The Picture of Dorian Gray＜br /＞ Treasure Island＜br /＞ The Turn of the Screw＜br /＞ The Adventures of Tom Sawyer＜br /＞ Emma＜br /＞ The Trial＜br /＞ A Selection of Short Stories by Edgar Allan Poe＜br /＞ Grimm Fairy Tales＜br /＞ The Awakening＜br /＞ Mrs Dalloway＜br /＞ Gulliver’s Travels＜br /＞ The Castle of Otranto＜br /＞ Silas Marner＜br /＞ Hard Times＜/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。
