【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！】Nineteen Unsaid【電子書籍】[ Alice Cox ]

＜p＞January 10th, 2013, changed my life forever. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about it in one way or another. Sometimes I experience a reflection of gratitude for finally feeling beyond it. Other times, the past can feel like an all-consuming clenching of my breath as I remember laying in the backseat of a truck as my "best friend" raped me. That night is always there, tucked into the shadows of my mind, and I still involuntarily relive it. However, I no longer give the horrific remembrance power over my heart the way I once did. I have learned over the years that while that scar will never go away, the darkness of the memory does not hold me prisoner anymore; it does not define me. It took me nearly ten years, but through an unfortunate series of events, I miraculously found myself again. I guess that makes those events not so unfortunate because they helped shape who I am today. This is not a story unlike many others out there; frankly, it is probably a lot lighter than most. Not everyone gets to hear a tearful apology from their rapist, as I eventually did. Not everyone has the kind of parents that will love them at their very worst, and still somehow see the very best in them. And not everyone that loses their faith comes back to it. I am grateful to say that I did.＜/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。

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。

【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！】Hard Times (Legend Classics)【電子書籍】[ Charles Dickens ]

＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞“It is said that every life has its roses and thorns; there seemed, however, to have been a misadventure or mistake in Stephen’s case, whereby somebody else had become possessed of his roses, and he had become possessed of somebody else’s thorns in addition to his own.”＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Published originally in weekly instalments, ＜em＞Hard Times＜/em＞ is focusing on Mr Gradgrind’s flawed model of upbringing and its lifelong impact on the wellbeing and destinies of his children. The novel, in fact, follows two opposing ways an individual can be formed. On the one hand, there is Tom and Louisa whose numerous misfortunes are predetermined by their father’s insistence on knowing bare facts without reaching for the substance. They are ill-equipped for the real world and, as a result, Louisa suffers emotionally having had a marriage of convenience, while Tom intentionally devises to incriminate another for his own misdeed. On the other hand, there is Mr Gradgrind’s student Sissy, whose guardian he becomes upon her father’s disappearance. Despite Mr Grandgrind’s scorn, she approaches things with a genuine sensibility that helps her to lead a happier and more fulfilled life. The readers are prompted to ponder throughout the novel whether Mr Gradgrind will eventually acknowledge his failure as a parent.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Hard Times＜/em＞ is an unusually short novel for Dickens and the only one not to feature London scenes. Instead, it is set in the North and beside addressing the issues of education, it also exposes the harsh daily living conditions of regular working-class people and the negative side of industrialisation. The author captures the zeitgeist of a new era where the old and new ways have to coexist and where many are continuously being left behind either by being deprived financially or spiritually. While maxims and cold facts are effective for scientific progress and the operations of complex machinery, they are not a prerequisite for human happiness. The volume’s solid subject matter is intertwined with the gripping elements of suspense that will undoubtedly appeal to a diverse audience.＜/p＞ ＜hr /＞ ＜p＞The ＜em＞Legend Classics＜/em＞ series:＜br /＞ Around the World in Eighty Days＜br /＞ The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn＜br /＞ The Importance of Being Earnest＜br /＞ Alice's Adventures in Wonderland＜br /＞ The Metamorphosis＜br /＞ The Railway Children＜br /＞ The Hound of the Baskervilles＜br /＞ Frankenstein＜br /＞ Wuthering Heights＜br /＞ Three Men in a Boat＜br /＞ The Time Machine＜br /＞ Little Women＜br /＞ Anne of Green Gables＜br /＞ The Jungle Book＜br /＞ The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories＜br /＞ Dracula＜br /＞ A Study in Scarlet＜br /＞ Leaves of Grass＜br /＞ The Secret Garden＜br /＞ The War of the Worlds＜br /＞ A Christmas Carol＜br /＞ Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde＜br /＞ Heart of Darkness＜br /＞ The Scarlet Letter＜br /＞ This Side of Paradise＜br /＞ Oliver Twist＜br /＞ The Picture of Dorian Gray＜br /＞ Treasure Island＜br /＞ The Turn of the Screw＜br /＞ The Adventures of Tom Sawyer＜br /＞ Emma＜br /＞ The Trial＜br /＞ A Selection of Short Stories by Edgar Allan Poe＜br /＞ Grimm Fairy Tales＜br /＞ The Awakening＜br /＞ Mrs Dalloway＜br /＞ Gulliver’s Travels＜br /＞ The Castle of Otranto＜br /＞ Silas Marner＜br /＞ Hard Times＜/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。
