There's one nestled into a cliff, one with a giant Buddha looking down on it, and another one with bird-egg-like stones.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I'll show you a hidden cafe that looks like a treehouse, perched on a mountain top, with spectacular views over the city and the coast.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is the first Quy Nhon guidebook ever published. There isn't even one in Vietnamese:＜/p＞ ＜p＞In my previous guidebooks, we explored Saigon and Hanoi. I showed you Da Nang years before it became popular. Now let's discover Quy Nhon.

＜p＞Passengers on the early railways took their lives in their hands every time they got on board a train. It was so dangerous that they could buy an insurance policy with their ticket.

【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！】Italian Ways: On and Off the Rails from Milan to Palermo On and Off the Rails from Milan to Palermo【電子書籍】[ Tim Parks ]

＜p＞The best-selling author of ＜em＞Italian Neighbors＜/em＞ returns with a wry and revealing portrait of Italian lifeーby riding its trains.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Tim Parks’s books on Italy have been hailed as "so vivid, so packed with delectable details, [they] serve as a more than decent substitute for the real thing" (＜em＞Los Angeles Times Book Review＜/em＞). Now, in his first Italian travelogue in a decade, he delivers a charming and funny portrait of Italian ways by riding its trains from Verona to Milan, Rome to Palermo, and right down to the heel of Italy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Parks begins as any traveler might: "A train is a train is a train, isn’t it?" But soon he turns his novelist’s eye to the details, and as he journeys through majestic Milano Centrale station or on the newest high-speed rail line, he delivers a uniquely insightful portrait of Italy. Through memorable encounters with ordinary Italiansーconductors and ticket collectors, priests and prostitutes, scholars and lovers, gypsies and immigrantsーParks captures what makes Italian life distinctive: an obsession with speed but an acceptance of slower, older ways; a blind eye toward brutal architecture amid grand monuments; and an undying love of a good argument and the perfect cappuccino.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Italian Ways＜/em＞ also explores how trains helped build Italy and how their development reflects Italians’ sense of themselves from Garibaldi to Mussolini to Berlusconi and beyond. Most of all, ＜em＞Italian Ways＜/em＞ is an entertaining attempt to capture the essence of modern Italy. As Parks writes, "To see the country by train is to consider the crux of the essential Italian dilemma: Is Italy part of the modern world, or not?"＜/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＞“Surely one of the most ingenious love lettersーfull of violence, fear, humour, and cunningーever addressed to a city.” ーGeoff Dyer＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞This dazzling portrait of Johannesburg is one of the most haunting, poetic pieces of reportage about a metropolis since Suketu Mehta’s ＜em＞Maximum City＜/em＞.

Most poignantly he charts the small, devastating changes along the postapartheid streets: walls grow higher, neighborhoods are gated off, the keys multiply. Securityーinsecurity?ーis the growth industry. Vladislavic, described as “one of the most imaginative minds at work in South African literature today” (Andr? Brink), delivers “one of the best things ever written about a great, if schizophrenic, city, and an utterly true picture of the new South Africa” (Christopher Hope).＜/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＞After twelve years in Spain, Jason Webster had developed a deep love for his adopted homeland; his life there seemed complete. But when he and his Spanish wife moved into an idyllic old farmhouse in the mountains north of Valencia, by chance he found an unmarked mass grave from the Spanish Civil War on his doorstep.Spurred to investigate the history of the Civil War, a topic many of his Spanish friends still seemed to treat as taboo, he began to uncover a darker side to the country. Witness to a brutal fist-fight sponsored by remnants of Franco's Falangists, arrested and threatened by the police in the former HQ of the Spanish Foreign Legion, sheltered by a beautiful transvestite, shunned by locals, haunted by ghosts and finally robbed of his identity, Webster encountered a legacy of cruelty and violence that seems to linger on seventy years after the bloody events of that war.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As in Webster's previous books, ＜em＞Duende＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Andalus＜/em＞, ＜em＞?Guerra!＜/em＞ reveals the essence of modern Spain, which few outsiders ever manage to see.

Each year, it slips further down the ranking of the world's most livable cities. To the problems faced by all large capitalsーhit-and-run tourism, traffic, the divide between elegant, Airbnb-dominated city centers and run-down suburbsーin recent years Rome seems to have added a list of calamities of its own: a string of failing administrations, widespread corruption, the resurgence of fascist movements, rampant crime. A seemingly hopeless situation, perfectly symbolized by the fact that Rome currently leads the world in the number of self-combusting public buses.＜br /＞ One might expect mass migration in the face of problems like theseーyet the vast majority of Romans don't think for a second of "betraying" their hometown, and the many newcomers who've populated it in recent decades resemble the natives in the profound love that binds them to the city.＜br /＞ The largest metropolis in Europe is a place of contradictions and opposites. We think of it as ancient, but it is profoundly modernーit was founded almost three millennia ago, but 92 per cent of its buildings have been built after 1945. To understand Rome and fix its problems, we should start considering it a normal city, not unlike Chicago or Manchester . . . just incomparably more beautiful.

＜p＞＜strong＞Journey through Poland, Ukraine, Slovenia, and other places neglected by tourists, with "an accomplished stylist with an eye for telling detail" (Irvine Welsh).＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Andrzej Stasiuk is a restless and indefatigable traveler. By car, train, bus, and ferry, he goes from his native Poland to Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Albania, Moldova, and Ukraineーto small towns and villages with strangely evocative names. "The heart of my Europe," he tells us, "beats in Sokol?w Podlaski and in Hu?i. It does not beat in Vienna."＜/p＞ ＜p＞In Comrat, a funeral procession moves slowly down the main street, the open coffin on a pickup truck, an old woman dressed in black brushing away the flies above the face of the deceased. In Soroca, he locates a baroque-Byzantine-Tatar-Turkish encampment, to meet Gypsies. And all the way to Babadag, between the Baltic Coast and the Black Sea, Stasiuk indulges his curiosity and his love for the forgotten places and people of Europe.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"There isn't quite a name for the region that holds the Polish writer Andrzej Stasiuk in thrall. The general drift is from 'the land of King Ubu to the land of Count Dracula', Poland to Romania. . . . Its nucleus is the landlocked centre of Central Europe; its protoplasm spreads like an amoeba through the Balkans. It cannot be convincingly mapped. . . . As travel writing, this is unconventional, but as literature profoundly authentic." ー ＜em＞The Independent＜/em＞ (UK)＜/p＞ ＜p＞"A mesmerizing, not-to-be-missed trek through a little-visited region of the world." ー ＜em＞Kirkus Reviews＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞"A eulogy for the old Europe, the Europe both in and out of time, the Europe now lost in the folds of the map." ー ＜em＞The Guardian＜/em＞ (UK)＜/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＞"Agee's prose poem captures the textural variety of Brooklyn in language that bears reading aloud for its lilt, melody, and pleasingly pungent vocabulary." ー ＜em＞Booklist＜/em＞ (starred review)＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞For the first time in book formーfrom the Pulitzer Prize?winning author＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞Foreword by Jonathan Lethem, author ＜em＞Motherless Brooklyn＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜br /＞ In 1939, James Agee was assigned to write an article on Brooklyn for a special issue of ＜em＞Fortune＜/em＞ on New York City. The draft was rejected for "creative differences," and remained unpublished until it appeared in ＜em＞Esquire＜/em＞ in 1968 under the title "Southeast of the Island: Travel Notes."＜br /＞ Crossing the borough from the brownstone heights over the Brooklyn Bridge out through backstreet neighborhoods like Flatbush, Midwood, and Sheepshead Bay that roll silently to the sea, Agee captured in 10,000 remarkable words, the essence of a place and its people. Propulsive, lyrical, jazzy, and tender, its pitch-perfect descriptions endure even as Brooklyn changes; Agee's essay is a New York classic. Resonant with the rhythms of Hart Crane, Walt Whitman, and Thomas Wolfe, it takes its place alongside Alfred Kazin's ＜em＞A Walker in the City＜/em＞ as a great writer's love-song to Brooklyn and alongside E. B. White's ＜em＞Here Is New York＜/em＞ as an essential statement of the place so many call home.＜br /＞ ＜strong＞"Agee's rhapsodically detailed essay/prose poem is a Whitmanessque catalog, evoking a Brooklyn of ordinary people." ー ＜em＞Berkshire Eagle＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞"Strikingly successful in uncovering America's Brooklyn, its neighborhoods and its people . . . the book is startlingly beautiful." ー ＜em＞The Brooklyn Rail＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞"Agee is a wonderfully poetic writer, and he weaves a beautiful portrait of the borough, covering the people and places in every corner of Brooklyn's seventy-one miles" ー ＜em＞Park Slope Reader＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/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 these sometimes-harrowing experiences teach her how to open the "windows" around her, unearth her true self, and develop a healthy sense of self-worthーand ultimately, paradoxically, her work and travel so far from home allow her to come home to herself.＜/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。
