【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！】Arden of Feversham【電子書籍】[ Various ]

＜p＞Arden of Feversham presents a gripping exploration of domestic tragedy, attributed to various playwrights, likely echoing the collaborative nature of Elizabethan drama. The play unfolds in a narrative steeped in darkness, centering on betrayal, jealousy, and murder, as it follows the doomed marriage of Arden and his unfaithful wife, Alice. Characterized by its raw emotional depth and vivid dialogue, the work serves as an early example of the domestic tragedy genre, challenging the ideals of love and fidelity while exposing the fragility of human relationships in a society grappling with moral ambiguity. While the true authorship remains debated, Arden of Feversham reflects the volatile social landscape of late 16th-century England, impacted by personal and political upheavals. Its focus on intimate domestic spaces contrasts sharply with the grand historical narratives of the time, offering an introspective look at individual lives. This thematic preoccupation mirrors contemporary anxieties about honor and betrayal, likely resonating with audiences who sought to critique the society around them. Recommended for both scholars and general readers, Arden of Feversham invites a profound reflection on the darker aspects of human nature and relationships. Its rich characterization and emotional complexity provide fertile ground for discussion, making it an essential read for those interested in the evolution of English drama and the human condition.＜/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。

After trying to shed light on social injustice, sexual harassment and the climate collapse, the poet finds herself in the darkness and explores many corners within herself, rough and soft.

【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！】Silas Marner (Legend Classics)【電子書籍】[ George Eliot ]

＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞“Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand.”＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Silas Marner is a simple weaver from Lantern Yard, an impoverished area of Northern England. He is the main protagonist who is wrongly accused of being a robber. Silas loses his sweetheart, reputation, and as a result, has to move out of the town. He dedicates the next fifteen years of his life to earning money. Despite developing an unhealthy obsession, he is still the same just and honest person albeit rather stingy by this time as monetary enrichment became the sole purpose of his being. But when injustice strikes again, Silas is about to change his perception of life forever. What he first considers to be the ultimate disaster of his existence, turns into the thing that gives a new meaning to his life. This moral tale will set things in the right place presenting a picture of justice and love that rise above ignorance and greed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The work is regarded as a pastoral novel and a moral tale with fairytale elements. A notable feature is Eliot's representation of the effects of industrialisation. Indeed, upon Silas's return to his home town in his old age, he can barely recognise the town where new buildings and factories have been erected. The author deploys her signature technique of setting the novel in a more distant past, which gives her the advantage of scope and hindsight. Published a year before Hugo's world-famous ＜em＞Les Mis?rables＜/em＞, ＜em＞Silas Marner＜/em＞ tackles many similar tropes as effectively and authentically but in a more condensed form ? in particular, finding the meaning in life when there seems to be nothing left to hold on to.＜/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。

【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！】Gulliver’s Travels (Legend Classics)【電子書籍】[ Jonathan Swift ]

＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞“Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old.”＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞As a survivor of a shipwreck, Lemuel Gulliver encounters some entirely absurd things ? at first, he is in the land of Lilliputians, the tiny men; but later he ventures to the land of the giants. The tale continues to oscillate between the extremes as he meets immensely wise and scientifically aware people before being faced with excessive self-preoccupation and ignorance. Whatever that societal order, Gulliver consistently is a witness to the abuse of power. The satire often overemphasises the contraries in order to accentuate our individual and societal flaws and proneness to being corrupt and biased. In such a distinct way it rebukes human narrow-mindedness and accentuates our subjectivity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The novel’s multivalence has made it a celebrated children’s bedtime read ? in particular, the first book ? as well as a treasury of satirical metaphors and allusions that expose human and societal flaws in general and those of the English nobility in particular. The novel is an answer to Robinson Crusoe ? it mocks Defoe’s protagonist’s too-good-to-be-true human aptness and reason. While some might find Swift’s modus operandi misanthropic, others will see him as a pragmatist who exemplifies how the excesses and polarities are detrimental and yet inescapable. Silly and bizarre, thought-provoking and alarming, this work is meant to be read and re-read as equally a jolly story and a philosophical or political collage of insights.＜/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。

【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！】Crystal Fire. Poems of Joy & Wisdom【電子書籍】

＜p＞Edited by Maja Trochimczyk, and illustrated with paintings by Ambika Talwar, the “Crystal Fire” anthology gathers poems of joy and wisdom by 12 poets, 8 women and 4 men: El?bieta Czajkowska, Joe DeCenzo, Mary Elliott, Jeff Graham, Marlene Hitt, Frederick Livingston, Alice Pero, Allegra Silberstein, Jane Stuart, Ambika Talwar, Bory Thach, and Maja Trochimczyk. The poets span all ages and diverse life experiences. They include ?migr?s from Poland, Cambodia, and India, and those born in the U.S. College professors join community poets. Native speakers appear alongside those for whom English is the second, or even the third language. The ”joy and wisdom” they write about are also different, as each poet follows their own path and gathers unique reflections to share with their readers.The phrase of “Crystal Fire” may be seen as the symbol of all humanity, with each person born from the union of man and woman, the male and female DNA strands interlocking in ever new patterns to create human beings. In this phrase, "Crystal" stands for the feminine and “Fire” for the masculine. “Crystal” is peaceful, somewhat static, but well-constructed, stable, and growing slowly into perfection. It is the cosmos of order and being. Remember, only women give birth (though some want to construct artificial wombs and detach humanity from its roots). In contrast, "Fire" is dynamic, sometimes intensely dramatic, always changing, always transforming, constantly in the state of flux. It is the energy of change and growth. It is also destructive, demolishing solid structures of the past to make room for the new. “Fire” means destruction and becoming. It is pure chaos. The Universe arises from the dance of these twin forces, like yin and yang, but neither is pure darkness, negative and “evil” and neither is pure light, positive, and “good.” Instead, they are the ageless vortex of cosmic unity and chaos, of creation and destruction. There is no value assigned to this polarity, for such labels are limiting and deceptive. Both aspects are essential, each cannot exist without its twin. Both are good AND evil, both are positive AND negative. ”Good and positive” when coupled with the other. “Evil and negative” when alone. These are the polar opposites of stagnation and declineーor constant movement and the total destruction of all life. The feminine elements of "earth" and "water" endlessly dance with the masculine elements of “air” and “fire.”＜/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！】Mrs Dalloway (Legend Classics)【電子書籍】[ Virginia Woolf ]

＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞“He thought her beautiful, believed her impeccably wise; dreamed of her, wrote poems to her, which, ignoring the subject, she corrected in red ink.”＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Mrs Dalloway＜/em＞ is a novel that features two main characters and two different worldviews. On the one hand, there is Clarissa Dalloway, who being labelled as ＜em＞Mrs＜/em＞, symbolises her marital and social confinement. On the other, the readers meet Septimus Warren Smith, who is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. The lack of conventionally linear narrative and the stream of consciousness embedded in the text represents the author’s take on the complexities of human existence and the ambiguity of reality. While Septimus appears mad as the war memories are haunting him, Clarissa is assumingly sane, with her existential troubles being centred around the midlife crisis ? both, however, share an astute sensibility about societal maladies of post-war Britain. Even though the two characters never meet, they are inextricably connected. The story takes a twist when Clarissa in her quintessential midlife meets her first love, Peter Walsh and Septimus madness takes a dramatic manifestation. Will Clarissa take any steps for the sake of her first love, or will she stay devoted to the societal pressure and her status as a statesman’s wife? What will become of Septimus’ madness?＜/p＞ ＜p＞The novel was developed from Woolf’s earlier short story entitled ‘Mrs Dalloway in Bond Street’. It takes you to the industrialised society, the hustle and bustle of London to represent the surface, the wrapper of modern society. The internal side is represented by ambiguous dark desires and fears of the characters. The passion and dramatic events in this whole novel take place over the course of a single day and the novel has been compared to poetry for being packed with meaning and intensity. How can a day change your whole life, how can a life built for years, crumble in the blink of an eye? This text is an exciting journey in itself with stylistic symbiosis, making it a true modernist classic.＜/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。
