＜p＞＜strong＞An otherworldly coming-of-age tale of a woman who believes she is an alien, from the author of the international sensation ＜em＞Convenience Store Woman＜/em＞.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Sayaka Murata's ＜em＞Convenience Store Woman＜/em＞ was one of the most unusual and refreshing bestsellers of recent years, depicting the life of a thirty-six-year-old clerk in a Tokyo convenience store. Now, in ＜em＞Earthlings＜/em＞, Sayaka Murata pushes at the boundaries of our ideas of social conformity in this brilliantly imaginative, intense, and absolutely unforgettable novel.＜br /＞ As a child, Natsuki doesn't fit in with her family. Her parents favor her sister, and her best friend is a plush toy hedgehog named Piyyut, who talks to her. He tells her that he has come from the planet Popinpobopia on a special quest to help her save the Earth. One summer, on vacation with her family and her cousin Yuu in her grandparents' ramshackle wooden house in the mountains of Nagano, Natsuki decides that she must be an alien, which would explain why she can't seem to fit in like everyone else. Later, as a grown woman, living a quiet life with her asexual husband, Natsuki is still pursued by dark shadows from her childhood, and decides to flee the "baby factory" of society for good, searching for answers about the vast and frightening mysteries of the universeーanswers only Natsuki has the power to uncover.＜br /＞ Dreamlike, sometimes shocking, and always strange and wonderful, ＜em＞Earthlings＜/em＞ asks what it means to be happy in a stifling world, and cements Sayaka Murata's status as a master chronicler of the outsider experience and our own uncanny universe.＜br /＞ ＜strong＞Praise for ＜em＞Earthlings＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜br /＞ A ＜em＞New York Times Book Review＜/em＞ Editors' Choice＜br /＞ Named a Best Book of the Year by the ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞, ＜em＞TIME＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Literary Hub＜/em＞＜br /＞ Named a Most Anticipated Book by the ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞, ＜em＞TIME＜/em＞, ＜em＞USA Today＜/em＞, ＜em＞Entertainment Weekly＜/em＞, the ＜em＞Guardian＜/em＞, ＜em＞Vulture＜/em＞, ＜em＞Wired＜/em＞, ＜em＞Literary Hub＜/em＞, ＜em＞Bustle＜/em＞, ＜em＞PopSugar＜/em＞, and ＜em＞Refinery29＜/em＞＜br /＞ "Intimate, deadpan, and unflinchingly unhinged. . . . Exceptionally fun. . . . Amid all the hedgehog and alien talk is a novel that asks how happiness and freedom can be possible inside a stiflingly anxious world, and its answers, while grotesque, are worth reading." ー ＜em＞Wired＜/em＞＜br /＞ "If you're in the mood for weird, Sayaka Murata is always a reliable place to turn. . . . [ ＜em＞Earthlings＜/em＞] centers on Natsuki, a character whose story begins in childhood with her cousin in the mountains and spirals ever more darkly (and bizarrely) into adulthood and its many strange reckonings. This is a story that's best not to spoil, but it will get into your head." ー ＜em＞Seattle Times＜/em＞＜br /＞ "It's the book's visceral, grim savagery, and those final shocking pages, that makes this such a vital, powerful novel. . . . ＜em＞Earthlings＜/em＞ is the sort of challenging, confronting fiction that wakes you up with a jolt and leaves a lasting impression." ー ＜em＞Locus＜/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！】The Emergency A Year of Healing and Heartbreak in a Chicago ER【電子書籍】[ Thomas Fisher ]

＜p＞**The riveting, pulse-pounding story of a year in the life of an emergency room doctor trying to steer his patients and colleagues through a crushing pandemic and a violent summer, amidst a healthcare system that seems determined to leave them behind＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Gripping . . . eloquent . . . This book reminds us how permanently interesting our bodies are, especially when they go wrong.”ー＜em＞The New York Times＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: ＜em＞Time＜/em＞**＜/p＞ ＜p＞As an emergency room doctor working on the rapid evaluation unit, Dr. Thomas Fisher has about three minutes to spend with the patients who come into the South Side of Chicago ward where he works before directing them to the next stage of their care. Bleeding: three minutes. Untreated wound that becomes life-threatening: three minutes. Kidney failure: three minutes. He examines his patients inside and out, touches their bodies, comforts and consoles them, and holds their hands on what is often the worst day of their lives. Like them, he grew up on the South Side; this is his community and he grinds day in and day out to heal them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through twenty years of clinical practice, time as a White House fellow, and work as a healthcare entrepreneur, Dr. Fisher has seen firsthand how our country’s healthcare system can reflect the worst of society: treating the poor as expendable in order to provide top-notch care to a few. In ＜em＞The Emergency,＜/em＞ Fisher brings us through his shift, as he works with limited time and resources to treat incoming patients. And when he goes home, he remains haunted by what he sees throughout his day. The brutal wait times, the disconnect between hospital executives and policymakers and the people they're supposed to serve, and the inaccessible solutions that could help his patients. To cope with the relentless onslaught exacerbated by the pandemic, Fisher begins writing letters to patients and colleaguesーletters he will never sendーexplaining it all to them as best he can.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As fast-paced as an ER shift, ＜em＞The Emergency＜/em＞ has all the elements that make doctors’ stories so compellingーthe high stakes, the fascinating science and practice of medicine, the deep and fraught interactions between patients and doctors, the persistent contemplation of mortality. And, with the rare dual perspective of somebody who also has his hands deep in policy work, Fisher connects these human stories to the sometimes-cruel machinery of care. Beautifully written, vulnerable and deeply empathetic, ＜em＞The Emergency＜/em＞ is a call for reform that offers a fresh vision of health care as a foundation of social justice.＜/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＞He stopped, look back, and saw itーthe monstrous black thing staring at him from the tree . . .＜/p＞ ＜p＞This summer sees the long-anticipated re-issue of The Ceremonies, a celebrated masterpiece from a generation ago, now fully corrected by its author. Chalking up the British Fantasy Award for Best First Novel on its original publication back in 1984, The Ceremonies was hailed by Stephen King as the best horror novel since Peter Straub's Ghost Story. It is now included in Horror: 100 Best Books.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From the terrifying vision of its opening scene to the breathtaking horror of its climax, The Ceremonies turns our familiar world into a place of malevolent intrigue and ominous design. In the grip of an extraordinary writer, it plumbs the darkest underpinnings of ancient myth and folklore to reveal an undying evil.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For graduate student Jeremy Freirs, citified, cynical, yet prone to daydreams, summer is the time to shed a few pounds and finally get some reading done for a course on gothic literature. He's picked just the right place: the small, secluded village of Gilead, New Jersey, only ninety minutes from Manhattan but, with its antique customs and clannish traditions, seemingly centuries away. For farmers Sarr and Deborah Poroth, young members of Gilead's fundamentalist community, the summer threatens a conflict between their passionate natures and the stern dictates of their faith. For Sarr's widowed mother, gifted with second sight, it promises the frightful awakening she's dreaded all her life. And for aspiring dancer Carol Conklin, a naive country girl struggling to survive in the city, it brings not only the first blush of romance but a lucky job with a kindly-looking old man known as Mr. Rosebottom.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But "Rosie," as he calls himself, bears a more sinister nameーthe Old Oneーand a far more terrifying secret. Though the signs are all about them, he alone knows the invisible design that rules these people's lives as they dance unwittingly toward doom: for in the heat of summer an ancient corruption is stirring, an evil rooted not far from the Poroth farm, yet reaching to the city and beyond. The time has come for the Ceremonies, the monstrous rites that will unleash on a despised creation an age-old promise of apocalypse. And to see the scheme unfold, like some deadly flower, is to watch a nightmare come to life.＜/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！】A Dirty War A Russian Reporter in Chechnya【電子書籍】[ Anna Politkovskaya ]

＜p＞The Chechen War was supposed to be over in 1996 after the first Yeltsin campaign, but in the summer of 1999, the new Putin government decided, in their own words, to 'do the job properly'. Before all the bodies of those who had died in the first campaign had been located or identified, many more thousands would be slaughtered in another round of fighting.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The first account to be written by a Russian woman, ＜em＞A Dirty War＜/em＞ is an edgy and intense study of a conflict that shows no sign of being resolved. Exasperated by the Russian government's attempt to manipulate media coverage of the war, journalist Anna Politkovskaya undertook to go to Chechnya, to make regular reports and keep events in the public eye.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a series of despatches from July 1999 to January 2001 she vividly describes the atrocities and abuses of war, whether it be the corruption endemic in post-Communist Russia, in particular the government and the military, or the spurious arguments and abominable behaviour of the Chechen authorities. In these courageous reports, Politkovskaya excoriates male stupidity and brutality on both sides of the conflict and interviews the civilians whose homes and communities have been laid waste, leaving them nowhere to live, and nothing and no one to believe in.＜/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。
