【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！】Guangzhou: How the City Lives【電子書籍】[ Ozone Books ]

＜p＞Global Cities: How the World Really Lives is a groundbreaking nonfiction series that peels back the layers of the world’s most fascinating cities ? not through tourist itineraries or historical timelines, but through lived experience, overheard conversations, late-night snacks, and the hidden rituals that make urban life both maddening and magical.＜/p＞ ＜p＞???＜/p＞ ＜p＞Forget what you think you know about Chinese megacities. Guangzhou doesn’t shout ? it simmers. Tucked along the sultry curve of the Pearl River Delta, this is China’s southern soul: a city of steamed dumplings and steel towers, Cantonese cursing and Buddhist incense, global trade and alleyway silence. In this vivid, voice-driven portrait, Global Cities takes you beyond the clich?s and right into the tiled kitchens, neon riverfronts, late-night karaoke booths, wholesale labyrinths, and ghost-strewn temples of a metropolis that’s as elusive as it is essential.＜/p＞ ＜p＞You’ll start with a sunrise in a fish market and end with a noodle bowl at midnight. In between, there’s a lot of laughter, some low-grade climate panic, a sneaker startup built on filial guilt, and more balconies than any zoning board could possibly approve. The book captures how Guangzhou really lives: through food that doubles as philosophy, faith that hides in incense smoke and apartment stairwells, and architecture that improvises as boldly as the locals do.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With a tone somewhere between a long dinner party anecdote and a meticulously observed field report, this is city writing with flavor ? both literal and literary. Think Bill Bryson meets Midnight Diner, but with more scaffolding, subtropical rainfall, and casual genius. If you’ve ever wondered how a city can be ancient, futuristic, ordinary, and unforgettable all at once ? this book is your answer.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Part social history, part cultural meditation, part street-level joyride, Guangzhou: How the World Really Lives is the definitive portrait of a city that quietly powers the global economy while frying tofu with poetic restraint. Whether you’re a curious traveler, a design nerd, a food obsessive, or just someone who likes reading about cities that still surprise even their own residents ? this is your next favorite book.＜/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 apple【電子書籍】[ ?ngel Ruiz Cediel ]

＜p＞Perhaps the most exciting thriller of recent years. Agile, surprising, gritty and with an intense and well-crafted action that will not let the reader breathe. No current novel contains so much action and background, turning the implausible into an emotion that will thrill the reader to the core. A deeply disturbing novel, a stroke of genius. The party of the discontented, Futuro, assumes power through El?as Salvatierra, the political leader of this party who will try to implement an authentic revolution of honesty. Once in the Government, and already with the absolute majority to direct the destinies of the country, the president will be immersed, against his will, in the Great Game of power. A cruel, ruthless, criminal game... and without sanctuaries; a game without absolute truths in which no one is what they seem and which goes far beyond the imaginable, including a hidden but inclement war of power and survival that has been going on for millennia, and in which the new player will occupy a place of privilege, becoming the central object of the game.＜/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 Grand Guy The Art & Life of Terry Southern【電子書籍】[ Lee Hill ]

＜p＞"When they're no longer surprised or astonished or engaged by what you say, the ball game is over. If they find it repulsive, or outlandish, or disgusting, that's all right, or if they love it, that's all right, but if they just shrug it off, it's time to retire."＜/p＞ ＜p＞-- Terry Southern＜/p＞ ＜p＞A Grand Guy＜/p＞ ＜p＞He was the hipster's hipster, the perfect icon of cool. A small-town Texan who disdained his "good ol' boy" roots, he bopped with the Beats, hobnobbed with Sartre and Camus, and called William Faulkner friend. He was considered one of the most creative and original players in the ＜em＞Paris Review Quality Lit Game,＜/em＞ yet his greatest literary success was a semi pornographic pulp novel. For decades, the crowd he ran with was composed of the most famous creative artists of the day. He wrote ＜em＞Dr. Strangelove＜/em＞ with Stanley Kubrick, ＜em＞Easy Rider＜/em＞ with Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, and worked on Saturday Night Live with a younger, louder breed of sacred cow torpedoers. He's a face in the crowd on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (the guy in the sunglasses). Wherever the cultural action was, he was there, the life of every party -- Paris in the '50s, London in the swinging '60s, Greenwich Village, and Big Bad Hollywood. Brilliant, dynamic, irrepressible, he enjoyed remarkable success and then squandered it with almost superhuman excess. There was, and ever will be, only one Terry Southern.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a biography as vibrant and colorful as the life it celebrates, Lee Hill masterfully explores the high and low times of the unique, incomparable Terry Southern, one of the most genuine talents of this or any other age. Illuminating, exhilarating, and sobering, it is an intimate portrait of an unequaled satirist and satyrist whose appetite for life was enormous -- and whose aim was sure and true as he took shots at consumerism, America's repressive political culture, upper-class amorality, and middle-class banality. But more than simply the story of one man, here is a wide-screen, Technicolor view of a century in the throes of profound cultural change -- frorn the first chilly blasts of the Cold War and McCarthyism to the Vietnam era and the Reagan years; from Miles and Kerouac to the Beatles, the Stones, and beyond. And always at the center of the whirlwind was Terry Southern -- outrageous, unpredictable, charming, erudite, and eternally cool; a brazen innovator and unappreciated genius; and most of all, A Grand Guy.＜/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 DEAD (Modern Classics Series) A Profound Journey Through Regret and Relationships【電子書籍】[ James Joyce ]

＜p＞Set against the backdrop of an intricately detailed Dublin during the early 20th century, "The Dead" serves as the haunting climax of James Joyce's seminal collection, "Dubliners." Written in Joyce's signature stream-of-consciousness style, this short story transcends mere narrative to probe the depths of human consciousness and cultural stagnation. Employing richly symbolic imagery and masterful character development, Joyce explores themes of mortality, memory, and the complexities of Irish identity through a seemingly trivial party, culminating in a profound epiphany that reverberates beyond the confines of its setting. James Joyce, a central figure in modernist literature, expertly infused his works with autobiographical elements and a keen understanding of the socio-political landscape of Dublin. His experiences as an expatriate and a keen observer of human emotions shaped the profound themes of disconnection and enlightenment found in "The Dead." Joyce'??s literary innovations, influenced by his exposure to various cultures and a desire to depict the profound nuances of Irish life, make this story an essential reflection of his creative genius. For readers seeking a rich tapestry of emotional resonance and cultural insight, "The Dead" is an indispensable addition to any literary collection. It invites readers not only to experience the nuances of Joyce's masterful prose but also to engage deeply with the complexities of identity and the universal human experience, ensuring its timeless relevance and compelling allure.＜/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。

She is bitter, angry, and at times desperate, and yet by the time the chorus arrives her frustration has melted away. She decides to dance on her own, and in this way, she transforms her solitude into a more complex joy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Taking inspiration from Robyn’s seminal track, emerging art critic and curator Simon Wu dances through the institutions of art, capitalism, and identity in these expertly researched, beautifully rendered essays. In “A Model Childhood” he catalogs the decades’ worth of clutter in his mother’s suburban garage and its meaning for himself and his family. In “For Everyone,” Wu explores the complicated sensation of the Telfar bag (often referred to as “the Brooklyn Birkin”) and asks whether fashion can truly be revolutionary in a capitalist systemーif something can truly be “for everyone” without undercutting someone else. Throughout, Wu centers the sticky vulnerability of living in a body in a world where history is mapped into every choice we make, every party drug we take, and every person we kiss.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Wu’s message is that to dance on your own is to move from critique into joy. To approach identity with the utmost sympathy for the kinds of belonging it might promise, and to look beyond it. For readers of Cathy Park Hong and Alexander Chee,＜em＞Dancing on My Own＜/em＞ is a deeply felt and ultimately triumphant anthem about the never-ending journey of discovering oneself, and introduces a brilliant new writer on the rise.＜/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。

As the men competed ferociously, each trying to corner the market for repeating weapons, invention and necessity collided in a perfect storm: America was crashing violently towards furious sectarianism, irrevocable tensions, and, of course, bloodthirsty war.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Though capable of firing many times without reloading, astonishingly, the new guns faced a government backlash for using too much ammunition.

＜p＞＜strong＞The Time Machine＜/strong＞ is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, first published in 1898.＜/p＞ ＜p＞H.G. Wells' classic science fiction-fantasy story, in which a scientist known only as “The Time Traveller” tells the tale of his journey to the year 802,701 A.D. and beyond, where he witnesses the end of human civilization as we know it, as well as the beginning of the end of the world. This original time-travel story has been copied many times, but never improved upon.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Surely the Time Traveller threw great dinner parties! His guests were treated to a once-in-forever trial of a miniature time machine - an exquisite miniature that acted so flawlessly as to appear to be stage magic. That his guests did not believe the explanation - the machine vanished into the mists of the future - was patent. Still, a couple of the more thoughtful had reservations about branding the demonstration an outright trickery. And what about the nearly-complete full-size Machine in the Traveller’s laboratory?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Confronted at the next party by the dishevelled Traveller, who had apparently suffered privations and who displayed two curious flowers of no known type, the Narrator's wonderment increased. For the Traveller provided a perfectly arresting story to explain his condition - a surprising tale of a far future where humankind divides into a carefree above-ground race, the Eloi, and a mechanical subterranean race, the Morlocks. A tale in which it appears that the inheritors of the Earth inhabit it as cattle for the feeding of their underground cousins!＜/p＞ ＜p＞Believe, or disbelieve? But perhaps the inventive genius of a man who can translate "thousands of millions of days" of time travel into an exact date should not be doubted!＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Herbert George "H. G."

Pass her “Butter, not guns” bill first thing in the morning. Nail debate prep with her campaign manager Ilonka Van Dijk before lunch. Nap at home until her husband and kids come home from school. Then crush her fellow Coalition Party candidates on stage, earn the sitting Prime Minister's endorsement, and win the party's primary, setting up Athena to take the election in November as Elle's next prime minister.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Except a bunch of aliens had their own plans to invade Athena’s country. Okay, technically, their original plan was to land on Styx, a moon of Pluto in a completely different galaxy. But sexegenarian Harrington Umar, the commander of the Knoxville mission, decided to go on a wild goose chase through a tesseract and landed at the airport in Athena’s backyard. If only Harrington had listened to John Charles Carter, his mission specialist and second in command, then they wouldn’t be in Elle.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But here they are. And the Prime Minister has tasked Athena to find out what the invaders want, and send them on their way. But how was Athena supposed to know that Customs and Immigration would dismantle their ship?

It was a secret mission. The nine were fed up with their place in the world, the misogyny, the degradation, the genocide. These resilient souls reached out across the universe, a neighbor heard their siren song, and the women packed up and left for a new world, Vores Hjem. Once they determined their refuge was safe, the women called back to Earth for their sisters, families, friends. An exodus of a hundred thousand, kept hush hush.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞ELLIES＜/em＞ exemplifies what is possible for Black women, if we have the freedom to simply be. It is not a request for other people to give us power; it is a statement about the utopian society we can create if we harness our existing power together, without the intertwined constraints of capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Let’s do this.＜/p＞ ＜p＞**********＜/p＞ ＜p＞A full length standalone, sci-fi dramedy with an ambitious yet vulnerable, geeky heroine, a confident, tenacious hero, and a mysterious ending with a cliffhanger.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞ELLIES, volume 1: A Tuesday: a sci-fi dramedy novella＜/em＞ is a contemporary, geek girl, multiracial, nerdy, political, utopian work of staggering genius.

＜p＞＜strong＞A fascinating, first-person account of a historic era in the struggle for black empowerment in America.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Long an iconic figure for radicals, Huey Newton is now being discovered by those interested in the history of America's social movements.

【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 SS General and Die Glocke【電子書籍】[ Terry Meyer ]

＜p＞The General and Die Glocke weaves a tale of mystery and intrigue based on speculation of true historic events when Jim Sawyer, a local newspaper reporter, witnesses a military convoy hauling off a crashed UFO under the cloak of top secrecy. Civilian witnesses to the crash reported the object as bell shaped and “not of this world”. As he tries to further investigate the incident, his inquiries are stonewalled by the police and military who only offer him a suspicious coverup story. At wit's end, Sawyer doesn't know where to turn. To his surprise, he is surreptitiously contacted by Colonel Bill Watson, a retired military officer who worked for the Counter Intelligence Corp during WWII. He had read Sawyer's report about a crashed UFO that appeared in the national newspapers and knew what it was. The Colonel tells Sawyer about the American military capturing a treasure trove of Nazi research and development into top secret advanced wonder weapons and their covert dealings with the evil genius, SS General Hans Kammler, who was in charge of these programs. It appears that General Kammler disappeared without a trace at the end of WWII with his prize project called Die Glocke or The Bell. The Bell was assigned the highest level of security by the SS as “war ending” and was the culmination of German science into anti-gravity propulsion, time warping, and weapons of mass destruction. Kammler was a brutal and ambitious taskmaster little known outside theThird Reich inner circle. By the end of WWII, he had risen to be one of the most powerful and influential officers in the SS and the Nazi Party. He was also responsible for the deaths of thousands of slave laborers who unmercifully toiled on his projects. As Germany was falling in defeat, Kammler gathered all the valuable files, records and prototypes including The Bell from top SS research centers and fled to a secret base in Norway. He made a covert deal with the American military to exchange everything in his possession for his freedom and anonymity. This would put the American military decades ahead of the Soviets in weapons research and development. With the deployment of stealth aircraft, nuclear armed ICBM rockets, night optics, surface to air missiles, anti-gravity propulsion, and many more unimaginable devices based on German science, the U.S. had what it needed to counter any growing Soviet threat. It was only decades later when Jim Murphy learned of the breakthrough development in aviation reconnaissance stemming from the science behind The Bell. It was something beyond his imagination and ultimately cost him his 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。

He invented the cowcatcher, the ophthalmoscope, and the “penny post.” He was an expert lock picker, he wrote a ballet, he pursued a vendetta against London organ-grinders that made him the laughingstock of Europe. And all his life he was in desperate need of enormous sums of money to build his fabled reasoning machine, the Difference Engine, the first digital computer in history.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To publicize his Engine, Babbage sponsors a private astronomical expeditionーa party of four men and one remarkable womanーwho will set out from Washington City and travel by wagon train two thousand miles west, beyond the last known outposts of civilization. Their ostensible purpose is to observe a total eclipse of the sun predicted by＜br /＞ Babbage’s computer, and to photograph it with the newly invented camera of Louis Daguerre.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The actual purpose, however…＜/p＞ ＜p＞Suffice it to say that in Shooting the Sun nothing is what it seems, eclipses have minds of their own, and even the best computer cannot predict treachery, greed, and the fickle passions of the human heart.＜/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＞MORTLAKE HALL. There stands about a mile and a half beyond Islington, unless it has come down within the last two years, a singular and grand old house. It belonged to the family of Arden, once distinguished in the Northumbrian counties. About fifty acres of ground, rich with noble clumps and masses of old timber, surround it; old-world fish-ponds, with swans sailing upon them, tall yew hedges, quincunxes, leaden fauns and goddesses, and Other obsolete splendours surround it. It rises, tall, florid, built of Caen stone, with a palatial flight of steps, and something of the grace and dignity of the genius of Inigo Jones, to whom it is ascribed, with the shadows of ancestral trees and the stains of two centuries upon it, and a vague character of gloom and melancholy, not improved by some indications not actually of decay, but of something too like neglect. It is now evening, and a dusky glow envelopes the scene. The setting sun throws its level beams, through tall drawing-room windows, ruddily upon the Dutch tapestry on the opposite walls, and not unbecomingly lights up the little party assembled there. Good-natured, fat Lady May Penrose, in her bonnet, sips her tea and chats agreeably. Her carriage waits outside. You will ask who is that extremely beautiful girl who sits opposite, her large soft grey eyes gazing towards the western sky with a look of abstraction, too forgetful for a time of her company, leaning upon the slender hand she has placed under her cheek. How silken and golden-tinted the dark brown hair that grows so near her brows, making her forehead low, and marking with its broad line the beautiful oval of her face! Is there carmine anywhere to match her brilliant lips? And when, recollecting something to tell Lady May, she turns on a sudden, smiling, how soft and pretty the dimples, and how even the little row of pearls she discloses! This is Alice Arden, whose singularly handsome brother Richard, with some of her tints and outlines translated into masculine beauty, stands leaning on the back of a prie-dieu chair, and chatting gaily＜/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＞The Roaring Twenties in New York was a time of exuberant ambition, free-flowing optimism, an explosion of artistic expression in the age of Prohibition. New York was the city that embodied the spirit and strength of a newly powerful America.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In 1924, in the vibrant heart of Manhattan, a fierce rivalry was born. Two architects, William Van Alen and Craig Severance (former friends and successful partners, but now bitter adversaries), set out to imprint their individual marks on the greatest canvas in the world--the rapidly evolving skyline of New York City. Each man desired to build the city’s tallest building, or ‘skyscraper.’ Each would stop at nothing to outdo his rival.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Van Alen was a creative genius who envisioned a bold, contemporary building that would move beyond the tired architecture of the previous century. By a stroke of good fortune he found a larger-than-life patron in automobile magnate Walter Chrysler, and they set out to build the legendary Chrysler building. Severance, by comparison, was a brilliant businessman, and he tapped his circle of downtown, old-money investors to begin construction on the Manhattan Company Building at 40 Wall Street.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From ground-breaking to bricklaying, Van Alen and Severance fought a cunning duel of wills. Each man was forced to revamp his architectural design in an attempt to push higher, to overcome his rival in mid-construction, as the structures rose, floor by floor, in record time. Yet just as the battle was underway, a third party entered the arena and announced plans to build an even larger building. This project would be overseen by one of Chrysler’s principal rivals--a representative of the General Motors group--and the building ultimately became known as The Empire State Building.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Infused with narrative thrills and perfectly rendered historical and engineering detail, ＜em＞Higher＜/em＞ brings to life a sensational episode in American history. Author Neal Bascomb interweaves characters such as Al Smith and Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt, leading up to an astonishing climax that illustrates one of the most ingenious (and secret) architectural achievements of all time.＜/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。
