【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 Gathering Darkness Thirteen Classic English Ghost Stories【電子書籍】[ DH Lawrence ]

＜p＞Thirteen Victorian and Edwardian ghost stories that send chills up the spine and create an atmosphere sure to make the reader turn on an extra light and push up the back of their armchair against the wall.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Set amidst crumbling, ill-maintained churches and imposing cathedrals, on desolate coastland, moors and marshes, even along unlit roads extending into the new suburbs of London, the stories have been chosen for their quality of writing, imaginative range and diversity of character. Here you will find strange, preoccupied gentleman farmers; scholars and antiquarians; administrators of the British Raj; cowering country girls drafted into service in leaky mansions; cussed, gnarled servants and remorseful clergymen; frustrated aristocrats, and their puzzled American cousins; crooked jurists, desperate children and modern women emancipated in ways they never imagined.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The stories, in short, are the quintessence of nineteenth century literature, except for that one small, and unexamined, crack in its magnificent window pane.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From Edith Nesbit and MR James to Wilkie Collins and WW Jacobs, late Victorian and Edwardian writers lived through a time of unparalleled change, and unprecedented challengeーbut also produced some of the finest ghost stories ever written. This collection explores the many dimensions of that rapidly-shifting world: a university curator’s annoyance at receiving an uninteresting picture turns to terror when it proves far more interesting than he first imagined; the wife of a colonial administrator experiences the unexpected consequences of love which endures death; a mill family makes nervous use of an Indian talisman offering the solution to any problem, at a price.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In these thirteen classic stories of the supernatural nothing is taken for granted except, perhaps, for fear.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Table of Contents＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜ol＞ ＜li＞MR James, The Mezzotint＜/li＞ ＜li＞Charlotte Riddell, Nut Bush Farm＜/li＞ ＜li＞Mary Elizabeth Braddon, The Shadow in the Corner＜/li＞ ＜li＞John Kendrick Bangs, The Water Ghost of Harrowby Hall＜/li＞ ＜li＞Wilkie Collins, Miss Jeromette and the Clergyman＜/li＞ ＜li＞Alice Perrin, The Summoning of Arnold＜/li＞ ＜li＞Edith Nesbit, John Charrington's Wedding＜/li＞ ＜li＞WF Harvey, Across the Moors＜/li＞ ＜li＞DH Lawrence, The Rocking-Horse Winner＜/li＞ ＜li＞Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Mr Justice Harbottle＜/li＞ ＜li＞Wallace Irwin, The Transplanted Ghost＜/li＞ ＜li＞WW Jacobs, The Monkey's Paw＜/li＞ ＜li＞May Sinclair, Where their Fire Is Not Quenched＜/li＞ ＜li＞Afterword: MR James, Stories I Have Tried to Write: Thoughts and Observations on the Writing of Ghost Stories＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞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！】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。

【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！】Hope Leslie: Early Times in the Massachusetts (Complete)【電子書籍】[ Catharine Maria Sedgwick ]

＜p＞There were interested persons who were not slow in conveying to Sir William unfavourable reports of his nephew, and the young man received a summons from his uncle, who hoped, by removing him from the infected region, to rescue him from danger. Sir William’s pride was gratified by the elegant appearance and graceful deportment of his nephew, whom he had expected to see with the “slovenly and lawyer-like carriage” that marked the scholars of the times. The pliant courtier was struck with the lofty independence of the youth, who from the first showed that neither frowns nor favour would induce him to bow the knee to the idols Sir William had served. There was something in this independence that awed the inferior mind of the uncle. To him it was an unknown, mysterious power, which he knew not how to approach, and almost despaired of subduing. However, he was experienced in life, and had observed enough of human infirmity to convince him that there was no human virtue that had not some weak, some assailable point. Time and circumstances were not long in developing the vulnerability of the nephew. Alice Fletcher had been the companion of his childhood. They now met without any of the reserve that often prevents an intimate intercourse between young persons, and proceeds from the consciousness of a susceptibility which it would seem to deny. The intercourse of the cousins was renewed with all the frankness and artlessness of the sunny season of childish love and confidence. Alice had been educated in retirement by her mother, whom she had recently attended through a long and fatal illness. She had been almost the exclusive object of her love, for there was little congeniality between the father and daughter. The ties of nature may command all dutiful observances, but they cannot control the affections. Alice was deeply afflicted by her bereavement. Her cousin’s serious temper harmonized with her sorrow, and nature and opportunity soon indissolubly linked their hearts together. Sir William perceived their growing attachment, and exulted in it; for, as he fancied, it reduced his nephew to dependance on his will and whims. He had never himself experienced the full strength of any generous sentiment, but he had learned from observation that love was a controlling passion, and he now most anxiously watched and promoted the kindling of the flame, in the expectation that the fire would subdue the principles of civil and religious liberty with which he had but too well ascertained the mind of his nephew to be imbued. He silently favoured the constant and exclusive intercourse of the young people: he secretly contrived various modes of increasing their mutual dependance; and, when he was certain their happiness was staked, he cast the die. He told his nephew that he perceived and rejoiced in the mutual affection that had so naturally sprung up between him and his daughter, and he confessed their union had been the favourite object of his life; and said that he now heartily accorded his consent to it, prescribing one condition onlyーbut that condition was unalterable. “You must abjure, William, in the presence of witnesses,” he said, “the fanatical notions of liberty and religion with which you have been infected; you must pledge yourself, by a solemn oath, to unqualified obedience to the king, and adherence to the Established Church: you shall have time enough for the effervescence of your young blood. God send this fermentation may work off all impurities. Nay, answer me not now. Take a dayーa weekーa month for consideration; for on your decision depends fortune and love, or the alternative, beggary and exile.” If a pit had yawned beneath his feet and swallowed Alice from his view, William Fletcher could not have been more shocked. He was soul-stricken, as one who listens to a sentence of death. To his eye the earth was shrouded in darkness; not an object of hope or pursuit remained.＜/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。
