【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！】Unearthed【電子書籍】[ Jennifer Musgrave ]

＜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。

【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 FIRST BOOK OF AN EXOTIC【電子書籍】[ Samcy Kodumon ]

＜p＞A graveyard, fresh dirt, bleak skies--these are the things that Alice is left to fill the void of the passing of her husband, John. Her memories alone of their love that started in a small village in Kerala, India, is not enough to comfort her in the darkness of a cemetery in the United States, so far away from home. Brought overseas by the nursing gap in the 1970s that so desperately left the United States in a health-care crisis, Alice is a displaced nurse who brought her family, including her brother, Jose, with her on this arduous journey. Although Alice's profession is essential to building the economy, she is not met with a welcome committee or happiness on arrival. She suffers through rejection, discrimination, and prejudice at the hands of the men and women who begged for her and others like her to be here.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The passion of her brother, Jose, was for writing, and he yearned to go back to his home country with the money needed to kick-start his career. He soon discovers that the American dream is nothing but a mirage--he realizes that the invitation to this monumental country does not come with instructions on how to survive it. As America becomes more polarized, they are forced to lose their dignity, self-worth, culture, and honor to make it day by day in a country whose people see them as a threat. Through the struggle, Jose intensely questions humanity. Will he, his friends, and sister, Alice, succumb to the unintended role they play as Atlas in carrying the burdens of the exotics that are now trapped here?＜/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！】VAMPIRES FIRST BLOOD VOLUME II THE VAMPIRE LADIES【電子書籍】[ James Grant Goldin ]

＜p＞The literary evolution of the female vampire begins with the legendary LILITH...but is she a cursed monster, or a symbol of the rebellious, independent woman? While the male vampire has gone from monster to anti-hero to dream boyfriend, the path of his sister in blood has been more complex and mysterious. James Grant Goldin presents a curated anthology of the original texts, some freshly translated, that trace the evolution of the vampire lady through the end of the 19th century. In this anthology, there are, to be sure, monsters--VESPERTILIA of "A Mystery of the Campagna," ONEIZA of "Thalaba the Destroyer" and BRUNHILDE of "Wake Not The Dead"--but there are also vampire women in love, like CLARIMONDE, the airborne ALICE of Turgenev's "Phantoms," or the lesbian CARMILLA. There are vampires seeking justice or vengeance, like THE LADY BRIGHT. And there are characters like CLARA CROFTON or ALINSKA, who are both predators and victims. VAMPIRES: FIRST BLOOD VOLUME II - THE VAMPIRE LADIES collects the original adventures of the daughters of darkness who returned from the dead to pit their supernatural powers against the entrenched forces of patriarchy. This anthology comes complete with introductory notes and detailed glossaries to make these surprisingly contemporary stories come alive for a new generation＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lilith, from "The Alphabet of Ben Sira"＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Bride of Corinth, by Goethe＜/p＞ ＜p＞Oneiza, from Southey's "Thalaba the Destroyer"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Brunhilda, from Raupach's "Wake Not the Dead"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alinska, from Lamothe-Langon's "The Vampire, or the Virgin of Hungary"＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Vampire Bride, by Liddell＜/p＞ ＜p＞Clarimonde, from Gautier's "The Dead in Love"＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Lady Bright, from Maxwell's "The Vampire"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Clara Crofton, from Rymer's "Varney the Vampyre"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alice, from Turgenev's "Phantoms"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Vespertilia, from Crawford's "A Mystery of the Campagna" and Watson's "Vespertilia"＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Woman Who Did Not Care, from Kipling's "A Fool There Was"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Countess Dolingen, from Stoker's "Dracula's Guest"＜/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。

Other stories tell of Yalies whose sophisticated exteriors hide a seething hunger for recognition. A few stories go full-on eerie, such as the shy catalog artist who is not the person he seems to be, and the unseen man in Room 11 of the Duncan Hotel, whose daily activities are a mystery to the hotel staff.

The chance to bring together some of my favorite writers, in my adopted hometown (in every place I bartended, the cook or the manager carried a .38 in his waistband, and I can still make ten kinds of boilermakers), was a joy and a privilege. Every single story is a noir gem...If you are an optimist, noir may be an antidote, a crisp, dry balance for your sunny outlook. If you are a pessimist (or, as we say, a realist), noir is your home ground, your tribe. It's not just that you expect ants to come to the picnic; you know damned well that there will be ants at the picnic. When they come, you're relieved. When they crawl up your brother's leg, you're reassured and possibly delighted. But the other side of noir is the moral center. The center may be shabby, frayed, and in serious need of a facelift, but it is a center. It's not necessarily heroic. It's likely to be cynical, and its resilience is not the showy kind. Mean streets, as Raymond Chandler once said, not but mean.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞That's New Haven.＜/em＞＜/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。

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。

【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。

＜p＞Initially, she felt lost and abandoned amid grief and loneliness among many fears. She knew that she was not alone for there was someone there in the darkness with her. How could this be?, she would often ask herself. She knew that family and friends were holding her hands, rather in person or spiritually. They were there but not like the presence sitting beside her. The love she felt surrounding her led her through that darkness onto a pathway she had yet to explore--one that allowed her to build a successful career, to reconnect with a lost love, to become entangled in an inappropriate relationship, to forgiveness.
