【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!】Daughters of Arraweelo Stories of Somali Women【電子書籍】[ Ayaan Adan ]

<p>In <strong>Daughters of Arraweelo</strong>, Somali women share experiences of love, war, family, displacement, identity, and everyday life. After a civil war broke out in Somalia in 1991, thousands of people fled the country, seeking asylum all over the world. Many Somali women were charged with the responsibility of finding safe passage and a new home. The largest numbers in this diaspora settled in Minnesota.<br /> In spite of many obstacles, Somali women have gone on to build new communities and become business owners, authors, scholars, activists and organizers, elected officials, and change makers. Unfortunately, their rich stories are often reduced to accounts of devastation and trauma, or tokenized, or considered as exceptional. Rarely are these women presented with the multi-layered humanity they deserve. This book celebrates their complicated stories and deliberately disrupts the conventional narrative.<br /> Arraweelo, an ancient queen of the Somali people, was known for her fierce leadership and her work to empower women. Her daughters are with us today.</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。

A Passage North A Novel【電子書籍】[ Anuk Arudpragasam ]

【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!】A Passage North A Novel【電子書籍】[ Anuk Arudpragasam ]

<p><strong>SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE ? A young man journeys into Sri Lanka’s war-torn north in this searing novel of longing, loss, and the legacy of war from the author of <em>The Story of a Brief Marriage</em>.</strong></p> <p><strong>“A novel of tragic power and uncommon beauty.”ーAnthony Marra</strong><br /> <strong>“One of the most individual minds of their generation</strong>.<strong>”ー<em>Financial Times</em></strong></p> <p><strong>SHORTLISTED FOR THE DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE ? ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEARー<em>Time,</em> NPR</strong></p> <p><em>A Passage North</em> begins with a message from out of the blue: a telephone call informing Krishan that his grandmother’s caretaker, Rani, has died under unexpected circumstancesーfound at the bottom of a well in her village in the north, her neck broken by the fall. The news arrives on the heels of an email from Anjum, an impassioned yet aloof activist Krishnan fell in love with years before while living in Delhi, stirring old memories and desires from a world he left behind.</p> <p>As Krishan makes the long journey by train from Colombo into the war-torn Northern Province for Rani’s funeral, so begins an astonishing passage into the innermost reaches of a country. At once a powerful meditation on absence and longing, as well as an unsparing account of the legacy of Sri Lanka’s thirty-year civil war, this procession to a pyre “at the end of the earth” lays bare the imprints of an island’s past, the unattainable distances between who we are and what we seek.</p> <p>Written with precision and grace, Anuk Arudpragasam’s masterful novel is an attempt to come to terms with life in the wake of devastation, and a poignant memorial for those lost and those still living.</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。

Sex, Fashion & Co.【電子書籍】[ Tracy Frances ]

【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!】Sex, Fashion & Co.【電子書籍】[ Tracy Frances ]

<p>DESCRIPTION<br /> Julia works as a fashion designer in her father’s fashion company. Despite her boring sexual life, she had a faithful friend and sometimes lover; he was the only one devoted friend who had a sincere crush on her. But she considered him as the brother she never had. Everything seemed to have found its normal routine, until she met Gary, with whom she had a passionate and unpredictable connection.</p> <p>EXCERPT<br /> Carried away like an engine just ignited, she placed herself so she was face front against the mirror, pressing her butt cheeks in Glen’s face. All in fever, Glen lifted up her skirt, uncovering her naked round ass, and expertly started to heat up the warm meaty white cakes of her cheeks by smacking her milky globes, till her anal hole awaked, between her shaved valley.</p> <p>Julia moaned, her bare breasts sticking flat against her reflection. Aroused, she started moving her head from side to side in total abandon, as Glen pushed his fingers deeper between her cheeks, rubbing the inner walls of her dark rosebud to the base of her cunny lips. Lust was growing in Julia’s own groin.</p> <p>“How can you be so teasing?” she panted, breathlessly.</p> <p>“Yes, I know, and I’m going to prepare your ass.”</p> <p>Julia trembled at the daring idea. Despite her moans under his digital touch. Nobody had fucked her up there. Why not try, she thought almost shyly. Her anus was feeling the need for satisfaction.</p> <p>Glen lifted her butt so he began kissing and licking at her brown eye with his thick tongue, rimming in and out her back. She groaned and moaned in crescendo, aware of his vicious laps, she reached back with her hands, spreading her cheeks wide enough, in the hope of getting more pleasure. Julia realized that her eagerness was leading her to the most degrading lewdness she couldn’t imagine.</p> <p>“Ooooh yes,” she moaned, as Glen’s meaty tongue moved like a worm.</p> <p>Now, he parted the cleft between her butts, putting in full view the beauty of her salivated dark bud.</p> <p>Slowly but surely, Glen slipped a finger, then two, into her greasy channel, dilating its muscles for better access.</p> <p>Julia shivered, unsure of herself, if she was aroused by the idea of anal sex, or simply by the pleasure that it was supposed to give.</p> <p>“Yesssss, now, please,” she implored him, without inhibitions.” Too excited, to be able to control herself.</p> <p>Clutching her butt, and pushing the skin apart, Glen made her anus gape, lowered his tongue between her cheeks again, and licked the stretched puckered eyelet.</p> <p>“How fantastic, it is,” she ventured, “It all makes me wet and juicy.”</p> <p>Glen knew she was now ready for particular attention. He smothered her sex lips, and lubricated her slack puckered lemon with her own juice until it opened by itself. At this very moment, he trailed his meaty flesh against the entrance to her anal orb, making her escape a growing sigh. He pushed himself enough to get her accustomed to his enormous size.</p> <p>“MMmmmm. “Yes.” She whispered.</p> <p>Like a stud, Glen started his incredible motion. Willingly, Julia parted the globes of her milky cakes wider. He pushed his flesh further in, as the gossamer walls of her anus contracted around his knob. It was then, he withdrew, spat a rope of saliva in her canal and reinserted his glans back against the starfish of her bud. Julia’s tight passage dilated even more to his assaults. She had nearly lost her breath as he rhythmically thrusted her bowels...</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 Curse of Black America and Mr. Barack Obama【電子書籍】[ C Edward Miller ]

【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 Curse of Black America and Mr. Barack Obama【電子書籍】[ C Edward Miller ]

<p>All of the following, we fail to completely understandーwhat is our purpose and the steps we must take daily? I confess my sins, all that I can remember and all that I cannot and did not considerーplease forgive me and cleanse my spirit so you may hear me so I can accomplish what I was meant to do:<br /> God is angry and now allowing fires, hurricanes, floods, and more is coming until the "Remnant rises beyond paganism so our prayers will be heard. Mankind will continue to suffer without massive acknowledgement of our shortcomings of praying to other gods.<br /> Please awaken all mankind to realize that we all can choose to be holy and we need one anotherーall of us; chosen by you to existーwhen we reject the simple premise that we are only men and women, that’s wrong, because we are also spirit. Every man and woman seeking the truth, seeking a closeness to their God, should ask themselves alsoーDoes money make me rich? Is the person with money a better person than me? Where does the person with a lot of money go to make himself or herself a better person? Is this life preparation for the afterlife? What and who has the truth?</p> <p>The "Remnant" mentioned in our Holy Bibles was thought lost and must now awaken and acknowledge their heritage.<br /> What America needs is a super hero to help us conquer adversity. We, Black and Jewish Americans voted for President Obama. He must keep his campaign promise of change! There are people in the Americas once cursed by the Elohim All the Earth has been denied their prayers for 400 years.</p> <p>Can White America of all the Americas really accept the truth? Knowledgeable and ignorant Americans feel the curse by the "Almighty of Heaven" and the time is near when that curse is almost over for Black America who can accept their true heritage. Can America of great intellect recognize the work of the Hebrew Elohim, his new curse, and the hate that is redirected towards an America who does not know who they are? Why is White America full of hate for people who can do them absolutely now harm? People still think that Israel was enslaved in Egypt for 400 years but it was only approximately 350.</p> <p>In the Americas the group in our Holy Bibles called the "Remnant" have been in mental and physical slavery for 400 years. The curse is over, and God will still not hear their prayers for the world until we humble ourselves acknowledging a heritage to receive a special blessing.</p> <p>In Genesis 15:13 our Holy Bibles talks refers to the Remnant who's 400 years was interpreted, clarified and explained in the Book of Daniel. Many people today still believe that passage refers to the time Israel was held captive in Egypt--but it was not related to that.<br /> America must awaken mankind to the spirituality of truth so we all will have a chance to enter the next realm of man's existence. The people in this group have extraordinary gifts of communication--so that all of mankind will hear the truth and make their own spiritual decisionsーand our choice to survive is a choice between good and evil.</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>A memoir of two teenage brothers' cross-country flight in a Piper Cub in 1966: "A terrific book . . . <em>Huckleberry Finn</em> meets <em>The Spirit of St. Louis</em>." ー <em>Chicago Sun-Times</em></strong><br /> In the summer of 1966, Rinker and Kern Buck, two teenagers from New Jersey, bought a dilapidated Piper Cub for $300, rebuilt it, and piloted it on a record-breaking flight across America, navigating all the way to California without a radio, because they couldn't afford one. Their trip retraced a mythical route flown by their father, Tom Buck, a brash, colorful ex-barnstormer who had lost a leg in a tragic air crash before his sons were born, but who so loved the adventure of flight that he taught his boys to fly before they could drive. Along the way, the brothers would battle thunderstorms and wracking turbulence and encounter cowboys and crop dusters and the smalltown cafes, cheap motels, and dusty landing strips of pre-Vietnam America. These two young men must separate from their difficult, quirky fatherーliterally by putting a country's distance between themーbut they do it on their father's terms: in an airplane.<br /> "This is more than a flying adventureーit is also a warm, affectionate account of an unusual family." ー <em>The Newark Star-Ledger</em><br /> "Colorful, exhilarating, heart-stirring." ー <em>Booklist</em><br /> "[An] enchanting story [with] masterly insider descriptions of flight." ー <em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br /> "An adventure full of fraternal jealousy . . . boneheaded hubris, and unbridled fun and freedom." ー <em>The Boston Globe</em><br /> "A funny, cocky gem of a book." ー <em>The New Yorker</em><br /> <em>Includes photographs</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。

Mitiblende The Story of an American Family【電子書籍】[ Gene Hewett ]

【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!】Mitiblende The Story of an American Family【電子書籍】[ Gene Hewett ]

<p>Mitiblende reads like the story of a Black American family in its quest to sell or partition an heir's property legacy of 56 acres of undivided interest. The term Mitiblende (translation, make the brains grow smarter) was coined by Robert M. Pittman. The late Mr. Pittman was Joe Harris' uncle. Joe Harris is the novel's protagonist. The storyline is cast around property located in a small town rural Texas setting. Heirs property essentially represents generational wealth that has been transferred to multiple family members by inheritance, usually without a will. The deed to the property was dated August 2, 1898, from Sallie Simpson to Rosie Burse Edwards (Joe Harris' great-grandmother). The granting of the land was instead of monetary compensation and represented repayment for services rendered by Joe Harris' ancestors.</p> <p>Historically, when a court ordered the partition of heirs' property by sale, the land was sold to the public. This typically happens by a mandatory sale at an auction. Often, property owners lost their family legacies and generally received a small percentage of what the land was worth - far below the property's fair market value. This has resulted in a tremendous amount of land loss among African Americans (disproportionately) and other people of color in the United States.</p> <p>In many ways, the Mitiblende story can be characterized as semi-autobiographical. Several aspects of Joe Harris' childhood to adolescence to adulthood passage (such as names, places, and other identifying descriptors) may be fictional. However, many aspects of the journey, such as his efforts in structuring the Harris Family Tree, are factual and historical. Intertwined between the story is an evolving collage of clues presented in the form of letters, emails, teleconferences, and dialogue. For example, a letter written in 1986 by Joe Harris' Aunt Maude (the late Maudell Williams) provided clues that highlighted issues such as (a) the landlocked perimeter and (b) the lack of easement rights. In addition, Joe Harris' goal was to assist in charting a strategy to address a problem that had been lingering for decades. That problem was a tendency on the part of bordering neighbors to lay claim to the property via means such as adverse possession. When it came to implementing a course of action to address these issues Joe Harris soon found that not all clues had the same impact.</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。

Redemption The Two Lives of Harry Brooks【電子書籍】[ Brooks Eason ]

【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!】Redemption The Two Lives of Harry Brooks【電子書籍】[ Brooks Eason ]

<p><strong><em>Redemption: The Two Lives of Harry Brook</em>s is a work of historical fiction based on the life of Brooks Eason’s grandfather.</strong></p> <p>In the first half of Harry’s life, he embezzled money from the Uniontown, PA, school district where he was the elected superintendent, left his wife for another woman, and sought to escape by booking passage on a Cunard liner to Liverpool. But his plan was foiled, Scotland Yard arrested him when the ship docked, and he was extradited, tried, convicted, and served three years in Western Penitentiary in Pittsburgh. In the second half of Harry’s life, he came to the South, where he spent his last thirty-five years as a revered and successful Methodist minister and church official. He was a district superintendent overseeing a hundred congregations at the time of his death in 1942. In 1934, when President Roosevelt spoke to a crowd of 75,000 in North Mississippi, Harry was chosen to give the invocation. Nobody in the huge crown knew the preacher at the lectern was an ex-con.</p> <p><em>Redemption: The Two Lives of Harry Brooks</em> entertains readers with a fascinating story and uses Harry’s life to illustrate important principles of theology, principally that all men are sinners but that even the worst of sinners are capable of redemption. It is unique and appealing because it’s based on a true story of a man who could have given up when he lost everything, but instead he persevered. <em>Redemption: The Two Lives of Harry Brooks</em> appeals to audiences who are interested in an inspiring story of overcoming hardship.</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。

Unknown Shore The Lost History of England's Arctic Colony【電子書籍】[ Robert Ruby ]

【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!】Unknown Shore The Lost History of England's Arctic Colony【電子書籍】[ Robert Ruby ]

<p><strong>This "engrossing, well-paced" history reveals how England's first colony in the New World was forgottenーand rediscovered three centuries later (</strong> <em><strong>New Yorker</strong></em> <strong>).</strong></p> <p>England's first attempt at colonizing the New World was not at Roanoke or Jamestown, but on a small, mostly frozen island in the Canadian Arctic. Queen Elizabeth I called that place Meta Incognita, the Unknown Shore. Backed by Elizabeth and her key advisors, the erstwhile pirate Sir Martin Frobisher crossed the North Atlantic to findーor so he thoughtーvast quantities of gold, the fabled Northwest Passage, and a suitable place for a year-round colony.</p> <p>But Frobisher's dream turned into a nightmare, and his colony was lost to history for nearly three centuries. In this compelling dual narrative, historian Robert Ruby interweaves Frobisher's saga with that of the nineteenth-century American Charles Francis Hall, whose explorations of this same landscape led him to the Inuit, who passed down stories of Frobisher and his unknown colony across generations.</p> <p><em>Unknown Shore</em> is the story of two men's travels, and of what these men shared three centuries apart. Ultimately, it is a tale of men driven by greed and ambition, of the hard labor of exploration, of the Inuit and their land, and of great gambles gone wrong.</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!】Marlborough and other poems Enriched edition. Echoes of war: Poignant verses from the trenches of WWI【電子書籍】[ Charles Hamilton Sorley ]

<p>In 'Marlborough and Other Poems,' Charles Hamilton Sorley explores the tumultuous emotions surrounding war, identity, and the passage of time with a compelling blend of lyricism and stark realism. Written during a period marked by the devastating impacts of World War I, this collection encapsulates the zeitgeist of early 20th-century poetry, employing vibrant imagery and innovative meter. Sorley's work presents a poignant juxtaposition of nature's beauty against the backdrop of human conflict, reflecting his personal struggles and insights gathered from his brief life and experiences as a soldier. Charles Hamilton Sorley, a promising poet born in 1895, was deeply influenced by his education at Oxford and by the literary milieu of his time, particularly the works of a generation grappling with the horrors of war. His poignant voice, though tragically cut short by his death in 1915 at the Battle of Loos, resonates through this collection, marking him as a significant figure in British war poetry. Sorley's examinations of existence and mortality are informed by both his intellectual pursuits and the lived experiences of a young man confronted with the brutality of his contemporaries. Readers seeking to delve into the mind of a thoughtful wartime poet will find 'Marlborough and Other Poems' an essential work that captures the essence of a lost generation. Sorley invites us not only to witness the anguish of conflict but to reflect on broader human experiences, making this collection a timeless exploration of the interplay between life and loss.

The Insider Malcolm Cowley and the Triumph of American Literature【電子書籍】[ Gerald Howard ]

【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 Insider Malcolm Cowley and the Triumph of American Literature【電子書籍】[ Gerald Howard ]

<p>**A finalist for the 2026 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction</p> <p>A delightful and majestic reckoning with the ascent of American fiction in the twentieth century through the prism of the under-known man who had an astonishing amount to do with it**</p> <p>Malcolm Cowley is not a household name today, but the American literary canon would look very different without him. A prototypical “man of letters” of his generationーHarvard University, a volunteer in the French ambulance corps in World War I, a rite of passage in Paris after the warーhe became one of the few truly influential critics of the 1920s and ’30s, along with his close <em>New Republic</em> colleague Edmund Wilson. Cowley’s early support of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and their setーand indeed for framing this group in generational terms in the first placeーsecured his place in literary history.</p> <p>Most people are lucky to be part of a single game-changing era in their careers; for Cowley, it happened again and again. After emerging from the political fray of the thirties badly damaged, he retreated behind the scenes as a tastemaker whose import has awaited Gerald Howard to be brought into full view. The process of canon formation is a murky business, and Cowley was a prime mover in it for the better part of four decades, through the Lost Generation, the Beat Generation, and the counterculture of the sixties. Without him, the odds would be much longer that the names William Faulkner, Jack Kerouac, and Ken Kesey, to name just three, would have ever echoed.</p> <p>In <em>The Insider</em>, Gerald Howard gives an intimate accounting of the fever graph of a fascinating and multifaceted career in the literary trade that uses that career to tell a much bigger story of how American literature took the course that it did from the 1920s to the 1960s. It’s a story of an art form, and an industry, and a country experiencing wrenching change, and the people who made a home in the storm and in no small part shaped it. Howard’s own career as a literary weathermaker is justly acclaimed, and he has brought all his talents of head and heart to bear in crafting this extraordinary book. It’s a gift to booklovers and a major contribution to the cultural history of this country.</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。

When Paris Was Her Lover【電子書籍】[ Heidi Harrison ]

【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!】When Paris Was Her Lover【電子書籍】[ Heidi Harrison ]

<p>When Paris Was Her Lover juxtaposes the lives of two women from two continents. In the Prologue we meet Marlene. It is the year 2000. She is ensconced under the Eiffel Tower, reminiscent and dreamy as she recalls that once upon a time, Paris was her lover. We then move backward to the year 1985. We are in San Francisco, where she lives and works as a preschool teacher. She is lost and friendless. On a whim, she decides to go to Paris. Once she gets there, she becomes enamored not only of the city but also of a woman she meets at a concert she attends at Versailles. She is shy, does not speak a word of French, and when the opportunity arises to communicate with Th?r?se, she walks away sheepishly as Th?r?se, herself smitten by Marlene, slips into another car on the train, wishing for the dream that did not happen that night. After this missed opportunity, each woman forges a path toward another destiny. Marlene adopts a Romanian girl who is the product of the brutal era of the Ceausescu dictatorship. Th?r?se searches for looted violins and other stringed instruments that were originally owned by Jewish individuals who perished in the gas chambers. While Marlene and Th?r?se follow these very divergent paths in their lives, there is an undercurrent of an undying passion between these two women. Often in discreet moments, each one brings to light the memory of the other, and in doing so, they not only create a parallel process but also repetitively ignite their incessant longings for the other. An ever-present theme of survival punctuates each section of this work. While on the outside this piece of fiction appears to be seamless, a tapestry woven with beauty and humor and a magical sense of wonder, underneath there is the reminder of the horrors of war and the ramifications therein. The music that resonates with each passage of the book lends itself to a transcendence from the pathos of the human existence to that of the sublime, survival in its quintessential realm.</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 word nerd ARIEL receives the glossy brochure from Montana State University inviting her to apply, she feels like a lifer who’s been shown the secret escape passage from the cell block. After all, being a tomboy forced to attend every charity event in Dallas from “Save the Monarch Butterflies” to “Dare to Care ? Stop Designer Pet Breeding” and wearing dresses (usually pink, always poofy) ordained by She Who Shall Be obeyed, aka “mom”, is almost the same as serving a jail sentence, right? Ariel jumps at the chance, and takes her height-challenged self along with her favorite trunk of books to Bozeman, Montana, ready to find a place she can finally fit in. After all, apart from not knowing anyone and the cold-enough-to-build-an-igloo winters, what could possibly be the downside? Plenty. Two battling factions of the Fallen Angels (yeah, THOSE Fallen Angels, the ones who were kicked out of heaven for doing really, really bad things) think Ariel’s mother stole the Piece of Home, a mysterious object lost when they were evicted from the big mansion in the sky, and which will determine who wins their war. Ariel learns the hard way that these angels are nothing like the halo-wearing benevolent beings depicted in her childhood Bible. Nope, they fall in love, cheat on their girlfriends, and treat lying, stealing, and even murder as perfectly acceptable ways to get what they want, and what they want is for Ariel to cough up the Piece of Home - pronto. One side swears it can be trusted, and seals the deal by providing Ariel with both a bodyguard who can turn Ariel into silly putty with a single glance and a fatherly confidant who holds out the promise of a family in which she can finally feel at home. As Ariel races to find the Piece of Home, she uncovers chilling secrets about her parents that she’d give anything to unlearn, and discovers that no one can be trusted, not even those who claim to be protecting her. Bottom line? If she doesn’t figure out this unholy mess real soon, she and her family will die.</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。

A Lost Lady【電子書籍】[ Willa Cather ]

【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!】A Lost Lady【電子書籍】[ Willa Cather ]

<p>In "A Lost Lady," Willa Cather masterfully explores themes of love, loss, and the inevitable passage of time against the backdrop of the American West. Through the lens of Marian Forrester, a symbol of fading grandeur and shifting cultural values, Cather employs a rich, lyrical prose style that captures the rugged beauty of the Nebraska landscape and its profound impact on her characters. The narrative intricately intertwines Marian's internal struggles and the external forces of a changing society, reflecting a broader commentary on the American experience during the early 20th century, particularly the clash between tradition and modernity. Willa Cather, a prominent figure in early 20th-century American literature, often drew from her own Midwestern roots and experiences to inform her writings. Her keen observations of rural life and the complexities of human relationships are expertly woven into this poignant tale. Cather's admiration for the pioneering spirit and her understanding of the social dynamics of her time significantly shaped her portrayal of female characters, making them both relatable and complex. Readers of "A Lost Lady" will find themselves immersed in Cather's evocative storytelling and rich character development. This novel not only serves as a reflection on the fleeting nature of beauty and youth but also captures the essence of an era. It is highly recommended for those who appreciate nuanced narratives that resonate with themes of identity and nostalgia.</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。

Enchanted by the undersea world of her childhood, she excels in marine biology, traveling the globe to study ancient organisms.
