タイトル: It Ends with Us (Media Tie-In)著者: Colleen Hoover出版社: Atria Books出版日: 2024年07月23日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Regretting You, It Starts with Us, and All Your Perfects, a "brave and heartbreaking novel that digs its claws into you and doesn't let go, long after you've finished it" (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author) about a young woman in a new relationship who can't stop thinking about her first love. Lily hasn't always had it easy, but that's never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She's come a long way from the small town where she grew up--she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily's life seems too good to be true. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He's also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn't hurt. Lily can't get him out of her head. But Ryle's complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his "no dating" rule, she can't help but wonder what made him that way in the first place. As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan--her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened. An honest, evocative, and tender novel, It Ends with Us is "a glorious and touching read, a forever keeper. The kind of book that gets handed down" (USA TODAY).

【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！】Snowman【電子書籍】[ JT WULF ]

＜p＞The icy chill of winter descends upon the quiet suburban neighborhood, blanketing the streets in a pristine layer of fresh snow. For most, this marks a season of celebration and joyーtwinkling lights adorn the houses, and the laughter of children fills the frosty air as they meticulously craft snowmen to stand watch over their wintry domain. However, for Harold Prescott, a reclusive middle-aged man, the cheerful sights and sounds are nothing more than an unwelcome nuisance that grates against his misanthropic sensibilities.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As the sun dips below the horizon on Christmas Eve, Harold peers out from behind the safety of his curtain-drawn windows. The dim lighting from within casts eerie shadows across his face, etching lines of disdain as he watches the neighbor children giggling and frolicking about, putting the finishing touches on their gallery of frosty creations. Snowmen of all shapes and sizes dot the landscape, their beaming smiles carved from carrots and coal seemingly mocking Harold's bitter solitude.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Unable to tolerate their jubilance any longer, an uncharacteristic rage begins to simmer within Harold. He waits until the dead of night, when the full moon bathes the world in an ethereal glow. Donning his heavy coat and boots, he steps out into the biting chill, the frozen flakes crunching beneath his feet. With a scowl etched across his face, Harold methodically kicks and smashes every last snowman until they are reduced to mere piles of slush and shattered dreams.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The following morning, an eerie hush has settled over the once lively neighborhood. But it isn't long before strange occurrences begin to manifest. The faint sound of footsteps crunching in fresh powder despite no one being present. Ghostly whispers carried upon the icy winds, calling out Harold's name. An unseen presence seems to lurk just beyond his periphery, casting ominous shadows that loom ever closer with each passing night.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As the peculiar happenings intensify, so too does Harold's growing sense of dread. The realization soon becomes inescapableーthe very snowmen he so callously destroyed have been reanimated by some sinister force, their once-cheerful facades now twisted into malevolent sneers. They stalk him relentlessly, their icy forms creeping ever nearer as they seek vengeance for the atrocities committed against them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a desperate bid to save himself from their frosty wrath, Harold is forced to confront his own actions and the consequences they have wrought. The shadows pursue him night after night, their eerie laughter echoing through the darkness as they toy with their prey. Only by rebuilding each and every snowman he decimated, restoring them to their former glory, can Harold hope to appease the supernatural entities and break the curse that binds them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With trembling hands, Harold toils through the night, meticulously sculpting and reconstructing the very figures he once despised. As the final snowman takes shape, its coal eyes seeming to bore into Harold's very soul, a profound shift occurs within him. The icy tendrils of hatred and resentment that once gripped his heart begin to thaw, replaced by a newfound appreciation for the magic and wonder of the holiday season he had so vehemently rejected.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a gesture of true remorse and redemption, Harold embarks on a journey to make amends, bestowing gifts and spreading joy throughout the neighborhood he once sought to deprive of its cheer. The children's eyes light up with unbridled delight as he becomes an active and cherished member of the community, his past transgressions forgiven. And though the shadows may linger in the deepest recesses of the night, Harold has finally found the warmth and light that comes from embracing the spirit of Christmas.＜/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！】Rethinking the Filioque with the Greek Fathers【電子書籍】[ Giulio Maspero ]

＜p＞**Does the Holy Spirit proceed only from the Fatherーor also from the Son??**＜br /＞ ??＜br /＞ Protestants and Roman Catholics might immediately answer the latter and wonder why their Orthodox friends protest. Historically one of the major obstacles to Christian unity across the East-West divide, the ＜em＞Filioque＜/em＞ーthe part of the Latin translation of the Nicene Creed claiming the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father ＜em＞and the Son＜/em＞ーstill bedevils Trinitarian theologians today.?＜br /＞ ?＜br /＞ How can the church possibly achieve unity in the face of this dogmatic difference, implacable for over a millennium? Giulio Maspero shows us how the answer can be found in history. In the fourth century, when Pneumatomachians denied the divinity of the Holy Spirit, the Cappadocian Fathers came to a relational understanding of the most elusive person of the Trinity: the Holy Spirit was conceived of as the glory and power eternally exchanged between the Father and the Son. In fact, this understanding is still fundamentally shared by Eastern and Western Christians. Examining Syriac traditions as an example, Maspero observes that both Syriac and Latin lack the linguistic precision to describe the nature of the Holy Spirit's procession from the Trinity in the same way as Greek, hence the ambiguous ＜em＞Filioque＜/em＞.?＜br /＞ ?＜br /＞ Yet what might be seen on the surface as a mere translation error reveals deep questions about the triune nature of God. With rigorous theological argument, Maspero ultimately proposes a way forward for East and Westーone based not on centuries of polemics, but on a common tradition established by the Greek Fathers. Essential reading for the ecumenically minded theologian, ＜em＞Rethinking the＜/em＞ Filioque ＜em＞with the Greek Fathers＜/em＞ takes a crucial step toward Christian unity.＜/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 Weavers: A Tale of England and Egypt of Fifty Years Ago【電子書籍】[ Gilbert Parker ]

＜p＞When I turn over the hundreds of pages of this book, I have a feeling that I am looking upon something for which I have no particular responsibility, though it has a strange contour of familiarity. It is as though one looks upon a scene in which one had lived and moved, with the friendly yet half-distant feeling that it once was one’s own possession but is so no longer. I should think the feeling to be much like that of the old man whose sons, gone to distant places, have created their own plantations of life and have themselves become the masters of possessions. Also I suppose that when I read the story through again from the first page to the last, I shall recreate the feeling in which I lived when I wrote it, and it will become a part of my own identity again. That distance between himself and his work, however, which immediately begins to grow as soon as a book leaves the author’s hands for those of the public, is a thing which, I suppose, must come to one who produces a work of the imagination. It is no doubt due to the fact that every piece of art which has individuality and real likeness to the scenes and character it is intended to depict is done in a kind of trance. The author, in effect, self-hypnotises himself, has created an atmosphere which is separate and apart from that of his daily surroundings, and by virtue of his imagination becomes absorbed in that atmosphere. When the book is finished and it goes forth, when the imagination is relaxed and the concentration of mind is withdrawn, the atmosphere disappears, and then. One experiences what I feel when I take up ‘The Weavers’ and, in a sense, wonder how it was done, such as it is. The frontispiece of the English edition represents a scene in the House of Commons, and this brings to my mind a warning which was given me similar to that on my entering new fields outside the one in which I first made a reputation in fiction. When, in a certain year, I determined that I would enter the House of Commons I had many friends who, in effect, wailed and gnashed their teeth. They said that it would be the death of my imaginative faculties; that I should never write anything any more; that all the qualities which make literature living and compelling would disappear. I thought this was all wrong then, and I know it is all wrong now. Political life does certainly interfere with the amount of work which an author may produce. He certainly cannot write a book every year and do political work as well, but if he does not attempt to do the two things on the same days, as it were, but in blocks of time devoted to each separately and respectively, he will only find, as I have found, that public life the conflict of it, the accompanying attrition of mind, the searching for the things which will solve the problems of national life, the multitudinous variations of character with which one comes in contact, the big issues suddenly sprung upon the congregation of responsible politicians, all are stimulating to the imagination, invigorating to the mind, and marvellously freshening to every literary instinct. No danger to the writer lies in doing political work, if it does not sap his strength and destroy his health. Apart from that, he should not suffer. The very spirit of statesmanship is imagination, vision; and the same quality which enables an author to realise humanity for a book is necessary for him to realise humanity in the crowded chamber of a Parliament.＜/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。
