【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！】Sense and Sensibility【電子書籍】[ Jane Austen ]

＜p＞Sense and Sensibility is a novel by Jane Austen, published in 1811. It was published anonymously; By A Lady appears on the title page where the author's name might have been. It tells the story of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor (age 19) and Marianne (age 16 1/2) as they come of age. They have an older half-brother, John, and a younger sister, Margaret, 13.＜br /＞ The novel follows the three Dashwood sisters as they must move with their widowed mother from the estate on which they grew up, Norland Park. Because Norland is passed down to John, the product of Mr. Dashwood's first marriage, and his young son, the four Dashwood women need to look for a new home. They have the opportunity to rent a modest home, Barton Cottage, on the property of a distant relative, Sir John Middleton. There they experience love, romance, and heartbreak. The novel is likely set in southwest England, London, and Sussex between 1792 and 1797.＜br /＞ The novel, which sold out its first print run of 750 copies in the middle of 1813, marked a success for its author. It had a second print run later that year. It was the first Austen title to be republished in England after her death, and the first illustrated Austen produced in Britain, in Richard Bentley's Standard Novels series of 1833. The novel has been in continuous publication since 1811, and has many times been illustrated, excerpted, abridged, and adapted for stage and film. In March 2020, there were 20 different editions available as new books.＜br /＞ Plot summary＜br /＞ Henry Dashwood, his second wife, and their three daughters live for many years with Henry's wealthy bachelor uncle at Norland Park, a large country estate in Sussex. That uncle decides, in late life, to will the use and income only of his property first to Henry, then to Henry's first son (by his first marriage) John Dashwood, so that the property should pass intact to John's three-year-old son Harry. The uncle dies, but Henry lives just a year after that and he is unable in such short time to save enough money for his wife Mrs Dashwood, and their daughters, Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret, who are left only a small income. On his deathbed, Mr Henry Dashwood extracts a promise from his son John to take care of his half-sisters. But before Henry is long in the grave, John's greedy wife, Fanny, persuades her husband to renege on the promise, appealing to his concerns about diminishing his own son Harry's inheritance, despite the fact that John is already independently wealthy thanks to both his inheritance from his mother, and his wife's dowry. Henry Dashwood's love for his second family is also used by Fanny to arouse her husband's jealousy, and persuade him not to help his sisters financially.＜br /＞ John and Fanny immediately move in as the new owners of Norland, while the Dashwood women are treated as unwelcome guests by a spiteful Fanny. Mrs Dashwood seeks somewhere else to live. In the meantime, Fanny's brother, Edward Ferrars, visits Norland and is attracted to Elinor. Fanny disapproves of their budding romance, and offends Mrs Dashwood by implying that Elinor must be motivated by his expectations of coming into money.＜br /＞ Mrs Dashwood moves her family to Barton Cottage in Devonshire, near the home of her cousin, Sir John Middleton. Their new home is modest, but they are warmly received by Sir John and welcomed into local society, meeting his wife, Lady Middleton, his mother-in-law, the garrulous but well-meaning Mrs Jennings, and his friend, Colonel Brandon. Colonel Brandon is attracted to Marianne, and Mrs Jennings teases them about it. Marianne is not pleased, as she considers the thirty-five-year-old Colonel Brandon an old bachelor, incapable of falling in love or inspiring love in anyone.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A 19th-century illustration by Hugh Thomson showing Willoughby cutting a lock of Marianne's hair＜br /＞ While out for a walk, Marianne gets caught in the rain, slips, and sprains her ankle. The dashing John Willoughby sees the accident and assists her, picking her up and carrying her back to her home. After his rescue of her, Marianne quickly comes to admire his good looks and his similar tastes in poetry, music, art, and love. His attentions, and Marianne's behaviour, lead Elinor and Mrs Dashwood to suspect that the couple are secretly engaged. Elinor cautions Marianne against her unguarded conduct, but Marianne refuses to check her emotions. Willoughby engages in several intimate activities with Marianne, including taking her to see the home he expects to inherit one day and obtaining a lock of her hair. When an engagement, or at least the announcement of one, seems imminent, Mr Willoughby instead informs the Dashwoods that his aunt, upon whom he is financially dependent, is sending him to London on business, indefinitely. Marianne is distraught and abandons herself to her sorrow.＜br /＞ Edward Ferrars pays a short visit to Barton Cottage, but seems unhappy. Elinor fears that he no longer has feelings for her, but she will not show her heartache. After Edward departs, sisters Anne and Lucy Steele, vulgar cousins of Mrs. Jennings, come to stay at Barton Park. Lucy informs Elinor in confidence of her secret four-year engagement to Edward Ferrars that started when he was studying with her uncle, and she displays proof of their intimacy. Elinor realises Lucy's visit and revelations are the result of her jealousy and cunning calculation, and it helps Elinor to understand Edward's recent sadness and behaviour towards her. She acquits Edward of blame and pities him for being held to a loveless engagement to Lucy by his sense of honour.＜br /＞ Elinor and Marianne accompany Mrs Jennings to London. On arriving, Marianne rashly writes several personal letters to Willoughby, which go unanswered. When they meet by chance at a dance, Willoughby is with another woman. He greets Marianne reluctantly and coldly, to her extreme distress. She leaves the party completely distraught. Soon Marianne receives a curt letter enclosing their former correspondence and love tokens, including a lock of her hair. Willoughby is revealed to be engaged to a young lady, Miss Grey, who has a large fortune. Marianne is devastated. After Elinor reads the letter, Marianne admits to Elinor that she and Willoughby were never engaged. She behaved as if they were because she knew she loved him and thought that he loved her.＜br /＞ As Marianne grieves, Colonel Brandon visits and reveals to Elinor that Willoughby seduced, impregnated, then abandoned Brandon's young ward, Miss Eliza Williams. Willoughby's aunt subsequently disinherited him, and so, in great personal debt, he chose to marry Miss Grey for her money. Eliza is the illegitimate daughter of Brandon's first love, also called Eliza, a young woman who was his father's ward and an heiress. She was forced into an unhappy marriage to Brandon's elder brother, in order to shore up the family's debts, and that marriage ended in scandal and divorce while Brandon was abroad with the Army. After Colonel Brandon's father and brother died, he inherited the family estate and returned to find Eliza dying in a pauper's home, so Brandon took charge of raising her young daughter. Brandon tells Elinor that Marianne strongly reminds him of the elder Eliza for her sincerity and sweet impulsiveness. Brandon removed the younger Eliza to the country, and reveals to Elinor all of these details in the hope that Marianne could get some consolation in discovering Willoughby's true character.＜br /＞ Meanwhile, the Steele sisters have come to London as guests of Mrs Jennings. After a brief acquaintance, they are asked to stay at John and Fanny Dashwood's London house. Lucy sees the invitation as a personal compliment, rather than what it is: a slight to Elinor and Marianne who, being family, should have received such an invitation first. Too talkative, Anne Steele betrays Lucy's secret engagement to Edward Ferrars, Fanny's brother. As a result, the sisters are turned out of the house, and Edward is ordered by his wealthy mother to break off the engagement on pain of disinheritance. Edward, still sensitive of the dishonour of a broken engagement and how it would reflect poorly on Lucy Steele, refuses to comply. He is immediately disinherited in favour of his brother, Robert, which gains him respect for his conduct and sympathy from Elinor and Marianne. Colonel Brandon shows his admiration by offering Edward the living (a clergyman's income) of the Delaford parsonage, so to enable him to marry Lucy after he takes orders.＜br /＞ Mrs Jennings takes Elinor and Marianne to the country to visit her second daughter, Mrs. Charlotte Palmer, at her husband's estate, Cleveland. Marianne, still in misery over Willoughby's marriage, goes walking in the rain and becomes dangerously ill. She is diagnosed with putrid fever, and it is believed that her life is in danger. Elinor writes to Mrs. Dashwood to explain the gravity of the situation, and Colonel Brandon volunteers to go and bring Marianne's mother to Cleveland to be with her. In the night, Willoughby arrives and reveals to Elinor that his love for Marianne was genuine and that losing her has made him miserable. He elicits Elinor's pity because his choice has made him unhappy, but she is disgusted by the callous way in which he talks of Miss Williams and his own wife. He also reveals that his aunt said she would have forgiven him if he married Miss Williams but that he had refused.＜br /＞ Marianne recovers from her illness, and Elinor tells her of Willoughby's visit. Marianne realises she could never have been happy with Willoughby's immoral, erratic, and inconsiderate ways. She values Elinor's more moderated conduct with Edward and resolves to model herself after her courage and good sense. Edward later arrives and reveals that, after his disinheritance, Lucy jilted him in favour of his now wealthy younger brother, Robert. Elinor is overjoyed. Edward and Elinor marry, and later Marianne marries Colonel Brandon, having gradually come to love him. The two couples live as neighbours, with both sisters and husbands in harmony with each other.

【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！】Plague of Pythons【電子書籍】[ Frederik Pohl ]

＜p＞LAGUE OF PYTHONS＜/p＞ ＜p＞When the police arrested him they had not been gentle. There were four of them. They were from the plant's own security force and carried no guns. They didn't need any; Chandler had put up no resistance after the first few momentsーthat is, he stopped as soon as he could stopーbut the police hadn't stopped. He remembered that very clearly. He remembered the nightstick across the side of his head that left his ear squashed and puffy, he remembered the kick in the gut that still made walking painful. He even remembered the series of blows about the skull that had knocked him out.＜br /＞ The bruises along his rib cage and left arm, though, he did not remember getting. Obviously the police had been mad enough to keep right on subduing him after he was already unconscious.＜br /＞ Chandler did not blame themーexactly. He supposed he would have done the same thing.＜br /＞ The judge was having a long mumble with the court stenographer apparently about something which had happened in the Union House the night before. Chandler knew Judge Ellithorp slightly. He did not expect to get a fair trial. The previous December the judge himself, while possessed, had smashed the transmitter of the town's radio station, which he owned, and set fire to the building it occupied. His son-in-law had been killed in the fire.＜br /＞ Laughing, the judge waved the reporter back to his seat and glanced around the courtroom. His gaze touched Chandler lightly, like the flick of the hanging strands of cord that precede a railroad tunnel. The touch carried the same warning. What lay ahead for Chandler was destruction.＜br /＞ "Read the charge," ordered Judge Ellithorp. He spoke very loudly. There were more than six hundred persons in the auditorium; the judge didn't want any of them to miss a word.＜br /＞ The bailiff ordered Chandler to stand and informed him that he was accused of having, on the seventeenth day of June last, committed on the person of Margaret Flershem, a minor, an act of rapeー"Louder!" ordered the judge testily.＜br /＞ "Yes, Your Honor," said the bailiff, and inflated his chest. "An Act of Rape under Threat of Bodily Violence," he cried; "and Did Further Commit on the Person of Said Margaret Flershem an Act of Aggravated Assaultー"＜br /＞ Chandler rubbed his aching side, looking at the ceiling. He remembered the look in Peggy Flershem's eyes as he forced himself on her. She was only sixteen years old, and at that time he hadn't even known her name.＜br /＞ The bailiff boomed on: "ーand Did Further Commit on that Same Seventeenth Day of June Last on the Person of Ingovar Porter an Act of Assault with Intent to Rape, the Foregoing Being a True Bill Handed Down by the Grand Jury of Sepulpas County in Extraordinary Session Assembled, the Eighteenth Day of June Last."＜br /＞ Judge Ellithorp looked satisfied as the bailiff sat down, quite winded. While the judge hunted through the papers on his desk the crowd in the auditorium stirred and murmured.＜br /＞ A child began to cry.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The judge stood up and pounded his gavel. "What is it? What's the matter with him? You, Dundon!" The court attendant the judge was looking at hurried over and spoke to the child's mother, then reported to the judge.＜br /＞ "I dunno, Your Honor. All he says is something scared him."＜br /＞ The judge was enraged. "Well, that's just fine! Now we have to take up the time of all these good people, probably for no reason, and hold up the business of this court, just because of a child. Bailiff! I want you to clear this courtroom of all children underー" he hesitated, calculating voting blocks in his headー"all children under the age of six. Dr. Palmer, are you there? Well, you better go ahead with theーprayer." The judge could not make himself say "the exorcism."＜br /＞ "I'm sorry, madam," he added to the mother of the crying two-year-old. "If you have someone to leave the child with, I'll instruct the attendants to save your place for you." She was also a voter.＜br /＞ Dr. Palmer rose, very grave, as he was embarrassed. He glared around the all-purpose room, defying anyone to smile, as he chanted: "Domina Pythonis, I command you, leave! Leave, Hel! Leave, Heloym! Leave, Sother and Thetragrammaton, leave, all unclean ones! I command you! In the name of God, in all of His manifestations!" He sat down again, still very grave. He knew that he did not make nearly as fine a showing as Father Lon, with his resonant in nomina Jesu Christi et Sancti Ubaldi and his censer, but the post of exorcist was filled in strict rotation, one month to a denomination, ever since the troubles started. Dr. Palmer was a Unitarian. Exorcisms had not been in the curriculum at the seminary and he had been forced to invent his own.＜br /＞ Chandler's lawyer tapped him on the shoulder. "Last chance to change your mind," he said.＜br /＞ "No. I'm not guilty, and that's the way I want to plead."＜br /＞ The lawyer shrugged and stood up, waiting for the judge to notice him.＜br /＞ Chandler, for the first time, allowed himself to meet the eyes of the crowd.＜br /＞ He studied the jury first. He knew some of them casuallyーit was not a big enough town to command a jury of total strangers for any defendant, and Chandler had lived there most of his life. He recognized Pop Matheson, old and very stiff, who ran the railroad station cigar stand. Two of the other men were familiar as faces passed in the street. The forewoman, though, was a stranger. She sat there very composed and frowning, and all he knew about her was that she wore funny hats. Yesterday's had been red roses when she was selected from the panel; today's was, of all things, a stuffed bird.

＜p＞Most people think the Cold War ended when the Soviet Union collapsed. Though the USSR may have been beaten, their war infrastructure and resentment didn’t simply go away.

His aim is to strike a devastating blow to the United States while pinning the blame on an impressionable young Arab man, thus initiating a global crisis.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Meanwhile, one of Sergei’s former colleagues is scrambling to stop the weapon from being deployed and recruits an unlikely team that includes his son (now a banker in Oklahoma), a former Stasi agent, and an American writer named Evan. Together they must shed light on foes hiding in the dark and save the world from unthinkable destruction.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Crypto codes, numbers stations, and sleeper agents all factor into this ultra-high-stakes story of international intrigue.

＜p＞This is the annotated version of the original book. We had annotated this by adding a handy summary of about 19000 approximate words which consists of 55% to 65% of the original book at the end of this book in red fonts. The brief summary of the book is written as follows:-＜/p＞ ＜p＞She had no hesitation in admitting that, though she had so long resisted my entrance, it had only been from the fear of the consequences and she had all along been as anxious as I was for the crowning pleasure from the first moment when she had viewed the potent charms of my pleasure-giver, and she had been as much disappointed and annoyed at the unsatisfactory manner in which our intercourse had hitherto been conducted; and she even went on to say that whatever the consequences might be to her, she has rejoiced I had had the courage to make her breakthrough the restraint she had imposed on herself. She said that whatever might really have been the case, everyone would at once say from the difference in our ages that she must have seduced me and that she would never be able to show her face again in society, and that moreover, she could not think of inflicting such a penalty on me as to saddle me for life with a wife older than myself when she had been as much to blame in the matter as I had. I then told her that as to the first objection she might set her mind perfectly at ease, for from what I had already seen of Sir Charles, his instrument I knew was so much larger than anything that had found its way into her and he would find so much difficulty in getting it in for the first time that he would never suspect any intruder had been before him, and that if, as she easily might, she insisted in the operation being performed in the dark, I could supply her with a contrivance by which a little red liquid might be applied so as to produce the natural appearance of an effusion of blood. I thought the best plan was to acknowledge that from our early intimacy, and the kindness she had always shown me, I did take a great interest in her and that it was perhaps only my being sensible that she could neither look up to nor respect one so much younger than herself that prevented this feeling from ripening into a warmer attachment, but that I was old enough to be able to wish to promote her happiness even if I could not myself be the means of doing so, and that from what I had seen of her feelings towards him, I had always thought they might be happy together, and consequently had wished him success. He said that if she had any difficulty on this ground, nothing could be easier than to obviate it, for as far as he was concerned it would give him the greatest satisfaction to dispense with all formalities, except necessary settlements which he would take care should not occupy much time, and they might be quietly married at their own church in the neighborhood without making any fuss about it; that with the exception of his mother and sister he had no relations he cared anything about or whom he would wish to be present so that Laura could have everything her own way.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Keywords & Categories＜/p＞ ＜p＞Best Victorian Erotica Novel＜/p＞ ＜p＞Laura Middleton (Summary)＜/p＞ ＜p＞Laura Middleton (Summarized)＜/p＞ ＜p＞Best Erotica Novel＜/p＞ ＜p＞Best English Erotica Novel＜/p＞ ＜p＞Best Romance Erotica Novel＜/p＞ ＜p＞Erotica Related to Modern age＜/p＞ ＜p＞You can get great books at the cheapest cost and other wholesale products please visit:-www.myebooksbuy.com＜/p＞ ＜p＞You can get the best grocery products at best-grocery.com/＜/p＞ ＜p＞Everything about loans, insurance, and other finance:- loanspolicy.com/＜/p＞ ＜p＞For Loans, Insurance, finance in India:- loanspolicy.in/＜/p＞ ＜p＞For Getting Premium Products on weight loss at an affordable price you can visit:- www.weightlossmanners.com＜/p＞ ＜p＞For Best Products on Making Money Online and Offline:- www.profitaddition.com＜/p＞ ＜p＞We are here to help you get the best resources at the least possible price.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Thanks＜/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 Handy Candy Man Solving The 1960 Cold Case Of Alice L. Lee【電子書籍】[ Cheryl S. Justice ]

＜p＞＜em＞The Handy Candy Man＜/em＞ is a non-fiction, historical, biographical, crime novel about the life of a pedophile who molested young girls for decades before he murdered seven-year-old Alice Louise Lee. Many knew about his deeds but none spoke up.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alice Lee went missing before noon, without a trace, from Swan's Bean Yard in Trent, Oregon on August 29th,1960. It was a shock to the small rural community and it spread throughout the countryside and then across the country. How could she disappear from the midst of a close knit community in broad daylight? The mystery struck fear into the hearts of the residents of Lane County and quickly changed the carefree, friendly culture into one of caution and suspicion. For three weeks they were left wondering what happened to Alice Lee. And for sixty years now they've been asking, "Who killed her?"＜/p＞ ＜p＞This fascinating narrative started as a simple quest to identify the killer and grew into a biography which reveals where he came from, and tries to give some insight into who he was. It clearly shows that individuals have a free will. Even the best of parents can raise a child who goes his own way and does not conform to family values or societal norms.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The quest for finding a killer after the case grows cold becomes exponentially more difficult. Especially in a case like this where the physical evidence was not properly stored, so there's no DNA evidence to examine. The murderer is long dead. How can the truth be found and brought to light? In this cold case, the resolution of the crime hinged on personal confessions, and on the truth buried in documents not available to the public until the Freedom of Information Act made them accessible.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Handy Candy Man＜/em＞ is solidly based on information found in newspaper articles and archived documents (family letters, Walla Walla Penitentiary records, Lane County Oregon police reports and court proceedings, Oregon State Hospital records, reports, medical tests and evaluations), genealogical research, historical research, eyewitness testimonies and, yes, confessions.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Handy Candy Man＜/em＞ is a story about the lives of real people in authentic locations. The names of the main characters are accurate. However, situations, thoughts, conversations and some fictional characters have been added to enrich and advance the story line. It stays as close to reality as possible, using fiction to fill in gaps consistent with the known facts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The truth shared in this book is more than just telling the world what happened to Alice Louise Lee and the Handy Candy Man. It shares an astounding example of the danger of keeping secrets. Caretakers are challenged to make sure children are properly supervised at all times; even in public places considered safe. And it shines the light on the shameful and dastardly practices of a sociopath who is a pedophile..＜/p＞ ＜p＞It is also a spiritual book. Alice Lee loved Jesus. Her parents were devoted Christians and the parents of the killer were too. This book is filled with references to God and church because many of the real people in the story were Christians or at least attended church. It's about a time when the United States of America was clearly identified as a Christian nation and not ashamed to say so. A time before unpatriotic forces undermined our constitution and corrupted our public school system by banning God, the Ten Commandments and prayer.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book discusses the age old question of who is to blame when bad things happen. If you haven't already given that question a lot of deep thought, it may broaden your perspective for the good and perhaps help you process some anger, bitterness, lack of forgiveness and grief. It shares the truth about some of the most important issues in life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Plus it has all the ups and downs of an emotional adventure story, and solves a mystery. Do yourself a favor and get this book!＜/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。

Then Danny learns that Gabriel warned the city about the poisonings in a threat that included a crazy demand for money and a bacteria sample with a biohazard warning.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The news that Tony's death could have been prevented leaves Danny reeling. He becomes obsessed with revenge and hunts for Gabriel while the number of victims skyrockets and the death count soars. Botulism spreads through the city. Its source can't be found until a test of Gabriel's sample reveals that common bacteria have been modified using the CRISPR technology to produce botulism. The city is quarantined.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Gabriel sends another threat and begins poisoning the money supply. The death count jumps again. The search becomes so desperate that government reaches an uneasy truce with the scientists. Danny continues his hunt for vengeance while social upheaval upends society.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Gabriel releases his final threat: Pay me now or I'll publish the genetic code that turns any living organism into a plague. Then he publishes his secret before he can be paid. Why? If not the money, what did Gabriel really want?＜/p＞ ＜p＞New plagues appear outside the quarantine line, diseases added onto modified bacteria found in every human mouth or gut. Flesh-eating bacteria and worse horrors, spread by a touch, a kiss, or just a sigh. The quarantine line collapses, then reverses. Instead of the outside world locking the city in, the city tries to lock the world out. Danny loses hope of revenge as he loses his family, his city, his confidence in the future. Everything has changed. He has no idea who or what to blame. He isn't even sure blame matters. He just needs to find his way in a world where maps are redrawn from day to day and the needle on his moral compass spins out of control.＜/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＞NATIONAL BESTSELLER＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Was one of the most unheralded captains of the Toronto Maple Leafs also one of the greatest players in the history of hockey's most popular team? In telling his story of turmoil in Toronto's Ballard years (and with Don Cherry's Mississauga Ice Dogs), growing up in an environment filled with alcohol and alcoholism, and his own struggles and battles, Rick Vaive finally sets the record straight.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the storied history of the Toronto Maple Leafs, no player scored fifty goals in a season until Rick Vaive in 1981-82. He did it three years in a row (only two others have scored 50 since) before being unceremoniously stripped of his captaincy and traded out of town, and he did it for a promising team that was nonetheless largely stuck at the bottom of the standings. So why isn't his number 22 hanging from the rafters of the Leafs' rink and his name as revered in Leafs lore as Gilmour, Sundin and Clark?＜/p＞ ＜p＞You could blame it on a team that lost far more than it won. You could blame Harold Ballard and his erratic ownership. You could blame the fans, the media...Rick Vaive doesn't blame anybody. Sometimes, life just doesn't go your way. He'd know. Growing up in a household plagued by alcoholism, the gifted young hockey player took shelter in the company of his grandmother and a blind and severely disabled uncle. Rick learned quickly that there are more valuable things in life than hockey. Even after his promising coaching career stopped dead when it ran into Don Cherry in Mississauga--one of the worst seasons in Ontario junior hockey history--he still doesn't point fingers. Life is too sweet for regrets, but learning that lesson can be one hell of a ride.＜/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。

古本, フィクション, 文学, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Cold Hard Light - Christopher Amenta (Blackstone Publishing, Inc.) 【紙書籍】 9798200705016

タイトル: Cold Hard Light著者: Christopher Amenta出版社: Blackstone Publishing, Inc.出版日: 2022年08月02日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。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。The Cold Hard Light is a spare and bracing literary debut that tells the story of a new father who falls into the grip of obsession.The novel begins when the man who assaulted Andrew Harrison's sister is released from prison. Benjamin Williams was barely more than a kid when he was sentenced to eleven years, but it is impossible to know what he has become since. Andrew, nicknamed H, is compelled to learn for himself when his uncle Billy hands him a gun and says to go find the man. As H's interest in Williams grows, he struggles to keep his world in balance. His hockey career has stalled, his girlfriend suffers from postpartum depression that is neither understood nor diagnosed, and the allure of vengeance threatens to erase his moral self.Set in present-day Boston, The Cold Hard Light explores the drama of modern American urban life, where the poor work gig jobs that cater to the rich, where race can be weaponized, guns are treated like toys, and the desire to blame others trumps the need to understand them. These forces and more weigh upon the characters in this crystalline novel, hurtling them toward an irrevocable conclusion.
