【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！】Die Gebr?der Kip Inkastadt-Expedition im Amazonas: Abenteuer und Gefahr des 19. Jahrhunderts【電子書籍】[ Jules Verne ]

＜p＞In "Die Gebr?der Kip" entfaltet Jules Verne eine abenteuerliche Erz?hlung, die den Leser in die unber?hrte Wildnis und die Geheimnisse des amerikanischen Westens entf?hrt. Die Protagonisten, die Br?der Kip, sind auf der Suche nach einem verschwundenen Vater, was sie in eine Welt voller Gefahren und unerwarteter Wendungen f?hrt. Vernes besonderes Talent, spannende und detaillierte Landschaftsbeschreibungen mit technischen Erkl?rungen zu verkn?pfen, verleiht diesem Buch eine Dynamik und Tiefe, die es zu einem bedeutenden Werk seiner Zeit macht. Der literarische Stil ist gepr?gt von Abenteuergeist und einer tiefen Faszination f?r Naturwissenschaften, die in den Kontext der damals aufkommenden Erkundungsreisen und Kolonialisierungen eingebettet ist. Jules Verne, oft als einer der V?ter der Science-Fiction betrachtet, sch?pft in "Die Gebr?der Kip" aus seinem reichen Erfahrungshorizont als Reisender und Schriftsteller. Geboren 1828 im Elsass, zeichnete er sich durch eine unstillbare Neugier f?r die Welt aus, die ihn dazu motivierte, komplexe technische und geografische Themen in zug?nglicher Form zu pr?sentieren. Vernes Interesse an Innovation und Entdeckung spiegelt sich in den spannenden Erlebnissen seiner Figuren wider und zeigt, wie Wissenschaft und Phantasie sich gegenseitig befruchten. F?r den Leser, der sich f?r Abenteuer, Entdeckungen und die Herausforderungen der menschlichen Natur interessiert, ist "Die Gebr?der Kip" ein unverzichtbares Werk. Es l?dt ein zu einer Reise in eine vergangene Zeit, in der die Welt noch gro? und geheimnisvoll war. Vernes einzigartige Erz?hlweise und die tiefen Einblicke in das menschliche Streben nach Wissen und Verst?ndnis machen dieses Buch zu einem fesselnden Erlebnis, das sowohl zum Denken anregt als auch Unterhaltung bietet.＜/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！】Women in Power Classical Myths and Stories, from the Amazons to Cleopatra【電子書籍】

＜p＞**Recommended by Mary Beard as one of the BBC History Magazine's Books of the Year＜/p＞ ＜p＞Classical stories about women who wield power, from the Amazons to Dido to Cleopatra＜/p＞ ＜p＞A Penguin Classic**＜/p＞ ＜p＞There is no other anthology that brings together similar stories of ancient women in power. These women threaten male power by stepping into the roles traditionally held by men. They command armies, exercise sexual autonomy and even dominance, speak in public, issue laws, and subject others (even masculine heroes and citizen men) to their control. All of these stories were written by men, and none of them can be read as affirmations or celebrations of women in power. They are instead misogynistic tales that aim to shore up masculine authority by exposing the consequences when women rather than men wield it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The sexist attitudes voiced in these stories continue to justify women’s exclusion from power in our contemporary world. Yet despite the fear and suspicion the male authors direct toward these women, we can find much to admire in their tales, from the coordinated action of the women of Aristophanes’s ＜em＞Assemblywomen＜/em＞, to Dido’s questioning of the male value system that leads Aeneas to abandon her, to the righteous anger of Boudicca against sexual violence by men in power, to the successful resistance of Amanirenas against Rome’s colonial expansion. Read differently, these tales testify to the long history of women in power and help us forge new paths for female empowerment.＜/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！】Born into Fear BORN INTO, #1【電子書籍】[ David Ballinger ]

＜p＞Born into Fear is a harrowing autobiographical account that delves into the author's traumatic childhood, marred by relentless abuse and psychological torment inflicted by his stepfather, a former nuclear submarine commander. The narrative unveils a grim reality where the author's mere existence becomes a constant reminder of his mother's infidelity, fueling his stepfather's deep-seated rage and hatred.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From the very first chapter, the author vividly depicts the nightmarish episodes of violence, humiliation, and emotional manipulation that punctuated his formative years. The stepfather's sadistic tendencies escalate, leading to near-fatal confrontations and a chilling disregard for the author's well-being. Despite fleeting glimpses of hope for intervention, the system and those entrusted with protecting the child fail him time and again, leaving him utterly alone in his suffering.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As the narrative progresses, the author's psyche fractures, and he dissociates from reality, existing in a numb, fugue state as a means of survival. The realization that his physical features mirror those of his mother's "one true love" further exacerbates the rift, cementing his role as a living embodiment of her perceived betrayal and his stepfather's resentment.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Throughout the memoir, the author grapples with existential questions, questioning the very nature of reality and the boundaries of human depravity. The profound trauma he endures shapes his worldview, leaving him disillusioned and haunted by the notion that the world itself is a carefully orchestrated facade, sustained by unseen forces or a cold, uncaring machine mind.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Born into Fear is a harrowing exploration of the depths of human cruelty and the resilience of the human spirit. It is a testament to the author's strength and perseverance in the face of unimaginable adversity, offering a glimpse into the lasting scars inflicted by childhood trauma and the relentless pursuit of survival against all odds. Previous versions published on Amazon had there comments tainted by the mother portrayed in the story. He writes a review claiming it's full of lies but contradict himself by saying he wasn't mentioned as an abused party. He goes on to say play his role as an apologist for the mother by telling her side of the story Wich are lies she has programed him to regurgitate. Controversy bring it.＜/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。

But, can she save his soul?＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Absolutely riveting psychological thriller about a serial killer from the killer's point of view," a haunting story of self-discovery gone amok. "Killing them was my language; killing you was my last message to you," writes Roman L. in a letter to Charlotte, his infernal lover, written after he had murdered her. As he seeks redemption and forgiveness, Roman discovers a chilling truth of the madness within and the mayhem it had caused without.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The murders he had committed with such a ferocious, savage intensity would send shivers down your spine every time you’d reflect on his brutally honest confessions. He writes about “sinking into the terrifying Hell of my own soul, a cold, utter darkness of the scariest, most painful insanity that peels off your skin while your brain screams, crushed by madness.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Jung’s Demon” is a chilling, intricately twisted book; it is as hallucinogenic as Hunter S. Thompson and as powerful as Oscar Zeta Acosta. It is as tragic as Malcolm Lowry and as funny as David Foster Wallace. Moreover, think Franz Kafka on acid and sprinkle some humor over it; that's also “Jung’s Demon.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞The readers are raving:＜/p＞ ＜p＞????? “The most enjoyable novel I’ve read in years, since I’d read Bulgakov’s “Master and Margarita.” (Amazon US review)＜br /＞ ?????

＜p＞This book is a fast-paced story about the fabled Inca city of gold that has been lost somewhere deep in the Amazon jungles of Peru for five hundred years. Against his better judgement, Dr. Fred Myers returns to that green hell called the Amazon jungle. But, this time, he brings twelve men with him to assist him as they encounter the perils of the Amazon, which include six-foot electric eels that can render a horse paralyzed; vampire bats that attack without provocation; flesh-eating fish; large swarms of bugs attacking them every night as they swarm over the campsites, biting and stinging; and thousands of flies laying their larva in their open wounds. They have a run-in with cannibals and headhunters deep within the Amazon and even encounter treachery within their own group.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Gold! Gold! Down through the ages, the search for lost gold treasures has motivated men to endure despicable dangers and hardships to discover riches beyond their wildest dreams. The two hundred Spanish conquistadors conquered ten million Incas and became rich.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There have been many pirates that have buried their treasures such as Captain Morgan, who buried his treasure somewhere along the coast of Panama; Captain Kidd, who buried his treasure somewhere along the coast of Virginia; the Beale treasure, said to be worth 45 million dollars; several Spanish galleons carrying millions in gold and silver back to Spain from the Incas and the Aztecs that got caught up in hurricanes and were sunk somewhere in the Caribbean; the lost Dutchman gold mine in Arizona; lost Nazi gold of World War II; the California gold rush; and the Alaska gold rush, to name a few.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This Indiana Jones-type of adventure brings to light many unanswered questions about how the Incas first arrived in Peru. Where did the white-skinned people from the mountainous regions of Northern Peru migrate from? Could they be the lost tribes of Juda? Come with me now as our heroes once more attempt to destroy the aliens, once and for all, before they destroy earth.＜/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！】Destiny Comes with Strings Attached【電子書籍】[ Kim Ekemar ]

＜p＞Did you ever ponder the events that control our fates?＜br /＞ From this collection of short story gems you will understand that our destinies are not ruled by chance but that they are in the hands of someone … perhaps even in yours, should you be among the fortunate ones.＜br /＞ Meet a genius with a bottle, a juggler with words and spouses traded in their husbands' interest. Strings are pulled in a courtesan's letters, and ? with the use of manipulated pictures ? they cause the downfall of a Caribbean dictator.＜br /＞ As food for thought: stars are sold for peanuts, a vineyard turns out sour grapes and wild strawberries evoke past passion.＜br /＞ A mistake turns a castle in the air into reality. The arrival of death comes as virtual relief from the venomous tongue of a mother-in-law. Curses arrive carried by the winds: one in the shape of a written note and others brought by a black eagle.＜br /＞ If you believe our lives are made up of haphazard events, you're in for a surprise. After you've read these twelve tales, your heart will feel a gentle tug to remind you that your destiny, too, comes with strings attached.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Ekemar is a prodigious wordsmith, and the collection's descriptive narratives, fully developed characters and scenes, poetry, lively dialogue and wit exhibit his flair for expression and engaging prose while remaining true to the collection's thematic thrust. The anthology's first story, 'Homage to a Man of Letters', honors the literary legacy of the indomitable yet fictional English scholar and 'wizard of words' Zachariah Abercrombie. In 26 essays commemorating Abercrombie's adoration of letters, the equally fictional contributors venerate his influence on their careers, personal lives and intellectualism. The homage is a stellar example of Ekemar's own word wizardry. Eclectic and entertaining, this solid collection satisfies from beginning to end." - BlueInk Review＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Told in engaging, balanced prose, this is a collection of frank and unpretentious short fiction." ? Amazon Editorial Review＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Ekemar offers a collection of twelve unique short stories that focus on the concept of control. The author employs a variety of themes, settings, and plots in these tales, which are about lost or exploited control. … The variety of stories guarantees that there will be something to everyone's liking. Ekemar's writing and plotting abilities are evident in the stories in historical settings, which display his skill at description. A winning compilation of tales." ? Kirkus Reviews＜/p＞ ＜p＞"While the theme is consistent through every tale, the individual stories vary greatly in subject, and the stories also hopscotch across time and place. Given that the stories cover a wide range of subjects, times, and places, any subconscious and inherent similarities in the writer's voice is not evident. That's well done, considering stories from different places in different time periods risk flatness of voice. The variety of settings and time periods makes the collection appealing. In fact, the twelve stories are distinctive because of nicely accomplished settings. Sure to appeal to those who appreciate literary fiction, Ekemar's 'Destiny Comes with Strings Attached' intriguingly collects twelve short stories on human beings trapped by destiny." - Foreword Clarion Reviews＜/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。

Her subjects range from shaving her knuckles in grade school, to a shopping trip gone horribly awry, to dealing with internet trolls, to feeling out of place at an Indian wedding (as an ＜em＞Indian＜/em＞ woman), to parsing the trajectory of fears and anxieties that pressed upon her immigrant parents and bled down a generation. Alongside these personal stories are pointed observations about life as a woman of colour, where every aspect of her appearance is open for critique, derision or outright scorn. Where strict gender rules bind in both Western and Indian cultures, forcing her to confront questions about gender dynamics, racial tensions, ethnic stereotypes and her father’s creeping mortalityーall as she tries to find her feet in the world.＜br /＞ With a clear eye and biting wit, Scaachi Koul explores the absurdity of a life steeped in misery. And through these intimate, wise and laugh-out-loud funny dispatches, a portrait of a bright new literary voice emerges.＜/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＞The story of a boy from Baltimore who evolves from a safecracking, jewel-heisting, deep-sea diving, ultimate-fighting, international playboy into a globetrotting humanitarian.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Stefan Templeton was born a child of extremes. The son of Ebba, an aristocratic Norwegian love child, and Roye, a militant African American philosopher, Stefan spent his early years shuffling between the discipline of his father's house and dojo in decaying west Baltimore and the eccentricities of his mother's life as a healer and artist in the wealthiest enclaves of Europe. The confusion formed a singular man who had nothing but his own abilities. By age eighteen Stefan was a skilled fighter, philosopher, lover, horseman, and swimmer who exuded confidence and competence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞His highs came from adventure, always. He hunted in Macon, France; brawled in Oxford, England; lived as a kept man off the Champs-?lys?es; served as a medicine man in Colombia; escaped death on the Amazon; and trained to serve on Cousteau's ＜em＞Calypso＜/em＞ in Marseilles. Love of the mother of his first child temporarily settled Stefan in Norway, but poverty and adrenaline addiction soon kicked in.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Eventually, Stefan found himself in a labyrinthine criminal world-where he pulled off one of the biggest jewel heists in Scandinavia's history as a player in a smuggling consortium. He eluded capture, but the downward spiral continued until he hit bottom one night in Tokyo.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alone and in need of redemption, Stefan lost himself in the south Asian jungle, but fate brought him an opportunity to help the wretched Karen people of Burma. By serving the forgotten, Stefan could begin his restitution. This Renaissance man at last utilized his uncommon skill set to embrace the call of humanitarian relief. Disasters like the Indonesian tsunami and the Sudanese civil war and drought required all of him.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The adventure of Stefan Templeton tests the bounds of human possibility, and even the most hardened of skeptics will be gripped by this account of David Matthews, Stefan's childhood friend and sometimes harshest critic.＜/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。
