【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！】Escape to the Volga【電子書籍】[ D. Philipp Kaiser ]

＜p＞Escape to the Volga is the third of my novels spinning the tales of the struggles of three different German families and their many descendants, as they emigrated ever farther and farther away from the old homeland. It begins in the village of Darmstadt in 1738. A happily married couple of the Lutheran Faith, coachmaker Conrad Simon and wife, is caught up in who is to blame for a terrible accident. Others, actually to blame, but out to protect their wealth and their lives, easily take advantage and force this innocent couple to run for their very lives. As you move through the next 172 years, you will meet many more additional characters spinning out their lives. I hope you enjoy it as a fictional story; but remember, this is fiction and fantasy, and not a research manual, and you should not assume any of it true. Some of it is, much of it is not! Hopefully, reading it may spark questions about your own ancestors. Even better, it may help you think about GOD, from who these amazing people got their strength to overcome all obstacles.

Mohamed Arazi, a young student from Morocco, has planned and executed a suicide bombing that killed Marian’s husband Bill and her twenty-two year old son Rob.

Marian’s transformation from grieving widow to avenger collides with Rashid’s efforts to complete his mission while overcoming his growing horror at the devastation his bombs unleash.

【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 Suburbs of Hell Text Classics【電子書籍】[ Randolph Stow ]

＜p＞＜em＞His eyes are on the one eye of the rifle. His mouth splits open his brown beard. He throws up a hand, palm outward, in an unwilled, futile gesture to ward off death.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞A killer is hounding the seaside town of Old Tornwich. Residents are gripped by fear and suspicion, and the finger of blame is pointed in all directions. But the bodies keep falling and the crimes remain unsolved, the culprit at large. No mere whodunnit, ＜em＞The Suburbs of Hell＜/em＞ーits story inspired by a real-life serial killerーis a profoundly disturbing psychological drama with a devastating conclusion, the final work of one of Australia’s greatest writers.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Julian Randolph 'Mick' Stow＜/strong＞ was born in Geraldton, Western Australia, in 1935. He attended local schools before boarding at Guildford Grammar in Perth, where the renowned author Kenneth Mackenzie had been a student.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While at university he sent his poems to a British publisher. The resulting collection, ＜em＞Act One＜/em＞, won the Australian Literature Society’s Gold Medal in 1957ーas did the prolific young writer's third novel, ＜em＞To the Islands＜/em＞, the following year. ＜em＞To the Islands＜/em＞ also won the 1958 Miles Franklin Literary Award. Stow reworked the novel for a second edition almost twenty-five years later, but never allowed its two predecessors to be republished.＜/p＞ ＜p＞He worked briefly as an anthropologist’s assistant in New Guineaーan experience that subsequently informed ＜em＞Visitants＜/em＞, one of three masterful late novelsーthen fell seriously ill and returned to Australia. In the 1960s he lectured at universities in Australia and England, and lived in America on a Harkness fellowship. He published his second collection of verse, ＜em＞Outrider＜/em＞; the novel ＜em＞Tourmaline＜/em＞, on which critical opinion was divided; and his most popular fiction, ＜em＞The Merry-Go-Round in the Sea＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Midnite＜/em＞.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For years afterwards Stow produced mainly poetry, libretti and reviews. In 1969 he settled permanently in England: first in Suffolk, then in Essex, where he moved in 1981. He received the 1979 Patrick White Award.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Randolph Stow died in 2010, aged seventy-four. A private man, a prodigiously gifted yet intermittently silent author, he has been hailed as ‘the least visible figure of that great twentieth-century triumvirate of Australian novelists whose other members are Patrick White and Christina Stead’.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Praise for ＜em＞The Suburbs of Hell＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘Both a traditional murder mystery and a meditation on the random depredations of death.’ ＜em＞Australian Book Review＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘Poetic accuracy is only one aspect of a rich talent…Mr Stow has a narrative gift as well…He is, in fact a real novelist.’ ＜em＞Observer＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘A cleverly crafted whodunit… Stow is an example of the high calibre of Australian writers of yesterday. Many of these authors have been forgotten or perhaps overlooked. It’s pleasing to see that Text Publishing released this edition in 2015 and continue to foster some of Australia’s buried talents by re-publishing under Text Classics. For fans of the psychological thriller and those readers who enjoy a foray into a metaphorical tale, Stow delivers the goods.’ ＜em＞Salty Popcorn＜/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。

＜p＞In June of 1934, newly-divorced Glynis Hampton and Woodhill Fire Department Captain Freddy Pratter find they share an interest in photography. They start going out on Sunday afternoons to snap pictures, and Freddy builds a darkroom in his apartment for developing film. Dalebridge Fire Chief Max Roper asks Freddy to investigate some field fires that Max believes were started by disgruntled farmers. Dalebridge firefighters Joe Lindbloom and Charlie Cooper, also are present. Shortly afterward, Glynis' brother, Mark Barneshill, who lives on his family's dairy farm, and is also a Dalebridge volunteer, warns Charlie to stay away from Glynis, making an enemy of Charlie. Another field fire is set in Dalebridge. Then, a suspicious fire in an abandoned barn in Woodhill is followed by a fire in an abandoned house where the body of a man is found in the basement. Joe Lindbloom, having helped Charlie set the first field fires, tells Charlie he will no longer help him. In turn, Charlie threatens Joe that if he doesn't continue to help, Charlie will make sure Joe is blamed for the death of the man in the basement. Mark and his father, Ben, argue and Mark takes off. That same night a farm fire in Woodhill results in the death of a child. Joe accuses Charlie of setting that fire and Charlie puts the blame on Mark. One afternoon when Glynis is alone in Freddy's apartment developing film, she sees an ad for an impotence cure. That same day, Freddy learns that Glynis' ex-husband is a homosexual. When Freddy and Glynis confront each other with their newly-found knowledge, each is mortified, and an argument ensues. While setting another fire, Charlie tells Joe that he can easily abduct Joe's wife or daughters if Joe implicates Charlie in the fires. After that fire is extinguished, Charlie further taunts Joe by suggesting that Joe's wife ran off with Mark. When Joe realizes that Charlie has been inside his house, he and Charlie fight. Charlie boasts that he is going to make sure Mark dies in a fire at the Barneshill farm. Joe tries to warn Ben, but is too badly injured to make himself understood. As Glynis drives Joe to the hospital, Joe admits his part in the fires. In the meantime, Charlie sets a fire in the Barneshill's dairy barn and lures Mark into the lower level of the barn thinking the upper-level floor will collapse, crushing Mark to death. The floor holds, Mark is rescued, and Charlie attempts to escape using Glynis as a hostage. Glynis manages to break free and Charlie is caught. Following Charlie's arrest, Freddy and Glynis make up and explain their reasons to each other for keeping their friendship platonic. As soon as they separate, though, they each regret their words. The next day, Freddy asks Glynis to marry him and she joyfully accepts.＜/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＞When Kelly Anderson's best friends were murdered on a vacation to Mexico, it rocked her world, and forever changed her life. After graduating in Psychology from college, Kelly has made it her goal to help other people deal with tragedy in order to move on with their lives. As a Grief Counselor who works directly with the police department, her current case concerns a little 8 year old girl named Angelita, who is so traumatized by her 11 year old brother's death, that she cannot talk. She could be a potential eyewitness for the crime, however, and that puts her in great danger. Kelly becomes embroiled in an international murder/smuggling/kidnapping crime spree, all for diamonds, that takes her to Lima Peru, and brings together a Latin family that no one knew existed. Mike Torres, the lead detective on this case, follows Kelly to South America. His head tells him it’s just business, but his heart has other ideas. He just can’t seem to resist this beautiful blonde clumsy tornado that has whirled into his life and heart. Things come to a climax in a shootout that pits Father against son, and gives a Grandfather a whole new family he knew nothing about. A story about how pain and grief are part of our world, but with help of family and friends and a good sense of humor, they do not have to 'define' our life. Kelly finds love and new purpose in her life. Young Angelita finds love and a new family, while Luis Oliveri is stripped of everything that he thought made life worth living, his wealth, fame, and his business empire. There is, of course, no one to blame but Kelly Anderson, and his sole purpose in life becomes the destruction of Kelly and all of the things that are important to her. Revenge can turn a man's soul to darkness and his heart as black as the night.＜/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＞Incubus Again (Paranormal Adult Romance)＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞For a thousand years the Sex Fae had hidden in plain sight among the Humans. After the Great Purge when the Aristocracy of the Supernatural Community attempted to exterminate the Incubus and Succubus for being able to control everyone else, those few who survived worked to erase themselves from collective memory. They became vague impressions and old wives tales. Shapeshifters who could assume any human form, they easily became what one desired the most. They fed on the sexual energy of a partner, but unlike a Vampire, they didn’t just take. They ＜em＞gave＜/em＞ーthe most fantastic orgasm the partner would ever experience. ＜em＞Incubus Again＜/em＞ follows the stories of the Incubus Luka and the younger Incubus Stan as they navigate the sexuality of the 21st Century＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Big Bad Incubus＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Luka is Summoned for the Vengeance of a Spurned Lover.

She wanted to be dominated the way no one would dominate her in the day or at her work. She wanted to give up all responsibility for her sexual desires. She wanted to be the innocent one, and blame the Big Bad Incubus. I enjoyed a sip of the scotch and she drank half of hers in one swallow. Scotch should only be taken that way as self-medication. I took another step forward, giving my movement the slightest hint of menace. Her heart beat sped up.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“How did you escape the Circle?” Her arousal spiked.

The price of his new alliance with his Hungarian captors is the king’s cousin Ilona.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Ilona does not wish to be married. In particular, she doesn’t wish to marry Vlad.

Ilona’s family blame Vlad; Vlad vows to discover the truth and sets out by unconventional means to bring back the woman who once enchanted him. Among court intrigues, international maneuverings and political deceptions, Vlad reveals himself more victim than villain. But he’s still more than capable of reclaiming his lost rights to both Wallachia and Ilona; and Ilona, when it counts, has enough strength for them both.＜/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！】Martial A Social Guide【電子書籍】[ Art L. Spisak ]

＜p＞In the past both the significance and purpose of Martial's poetry have often been misinterpreted or missed altogether because of the particular literary and social background and context that inform his poetry. For example, literary histories have given the impression that Martial wrote 'unobjectionably trivial' poems merely to cull favour from patrons; they also suggest that he had little to say that was serious. In contrast, this book argues that Martial with his poetry played a serious and vital role in his community as a social guide or conscience. The book's unique approach to Martial's poetry places him within the reactionary tradition of Indo-European blame/praise poetry. Poets in this tradition served a vital function for their community: in reaction to the perceived deterioration of the behaviour and conditions of their day they either praised ideal behaviour, or, more commonly, ridiculed socially aberrant and destructive behaviour. By linking Martial with this particular tradition we are better able to account for, understand, and appreciate his themes and methods, and the effect of his poetry.＜/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 Succession Crisis in Nigeria【電子書籍】[ Wale Adefarasin ]

＜p＞The Succession Crisis in Nigeria is one of the most important books you will ever read on generational succession planning. It zeroes in on Nigeria and identifies the failure in establishing generational succession planning as one of the most critical problems facing fathers, business leaders, corporate leaders, community leaders, government leaders and church leaders in the country. It also explains the benefits of raising successors with the right kind of values and why a generational perspective is vital when considering succession planning. For many Nigerians who have been alive since before the nation’s independence in 1960, the half century between then and now may truly be called ‘The Era of the Decline of Institutions’. It is difficult to find one important institution in the country that has not lost a discernible part of its quality and value in the period. Equally, it is becoming impossible to find a community anywhere in Nigeria in which societal values have survived undamaged. Indeed, Wale Adefarasin is convinced that “the core of our national malaise in Nigeria is a catastrophic loss of values.” From this, we may be tempted to draw the simple conclusion, either that past generations of Nigerians have not added much value to their country, or, at least, that they have not ? in the words of Scripture ? been able to bear “fruit that will last.” [John 15:16] Yet we know that we would be hugely mistaken to come to such a conclusion. We are able to recall the names of many Nigerians of excellence who have passed through our land, people who qualify to be described as people of excellence precisely because they brought great glory to their country on account of the nobility and loftiness of their value contribution both at home and internationally. This book reflects the agitation in the mind of the author as he sees that much of that excellent quality has withered away, leaving behind a society that now looks a shadow of itself. We often pray for our friends that their “shadow may never grow less”; but as the substance of the Nigerian persona has diminished, so has its ‘shadow’ suffered progressive diminution! It has been said that, “leaders are tenants of time and context”. If previous generations added good value in their own time, can we then justifiably lay the blame at the door of their successor generations for failing to maintain and improve that which they inherited? Wale Adefarasin’s thesis is that our real problem is that we have been very poor at managing succession from one generation to the next, not just in terms of passing on responsibility, but particularly in effectively transferring values and standards across generations. Today, businesses have come to acknowledge the wisdom of managing succession, not only between today’s job-holder and his immediate successor, but at multiple levels, as deep into the organisation as is practicable. Current events and trends suggest that we have, in fact, a crisis of succession in Nigeria. Pastor Wale Adefarasin has shown much courage and determination in sharing his thoughts and concerns at a time like this. This is completely understandable when we remember the eminence of his pedigree as well as the consistency with which he has pursued his chosen calling and responsibility for capacity building as a pastor. He is a successful practitioner who continues to demonstrate the certainty of achievement in anything to which we truly give our heart. He reminds one constantly that Apostle Paul did not over-state his injunction ? “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” [Colossians 3:23] These attributes confirm the certainty that those who read this book will find much of real benefit in doing so, and thereby, come closer to the possibility that, indeed, we may all leave this nation, Nigeria, in a better state than that in which we found her. - Dr. Christopher Kolade, CON.＜/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。
