【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！】Shadows on the Tide【電子書籍】[ Rafae Gonz?lez ]

＜p＞＜em＞Shadows on the Tide＜/em＞ plunges you into Muros de la Costa, a mist-shrouded fishing village on Spain’s Atlantic shore, where the creak of wooden piers and the salt-laden air conceal a network of horrors. Seven-year-old Ioana Popescu vanishes on a routine errand for bread, and two disparate souls race against time to unearth the truth buried beneath decades of silence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Marcos Varela, a former Guardia Civil detective haunted by a case that derailed his career, returns to the coast determined to atone for past failures. Alongside him is Clara D?az, an intrepid local journalist desperate to illuminate the untold stories of her community. Their investigation is sparked by subtle cluesーa single boot print with a diamond-grid sole, an anchor-shaped button, a stray seagull featherーand guided by the whispered counsel of Ferm?n, a retired fisherman who knows every hidden passage in the abandoned cannery.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As they delve into crumbling arcades of stone, moonlit tunnels beneath water-stained tanks, and the ramshackle shanty of a clandestine scrap-dealer, Marcos and Clara unearth a ring of child exploitation operating behind the scenes of the mussel harvest. Together, they orchestrate daring night raids: slipping through underground corridors, freeing terrified youngsters from makeshift cages, and outmaneuvering armed accomplices under the glare of a full moon.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But ＜em＞Shadows on the Tide＜/em＞ is more than a gripping thriller. It confronts deep ethical questions: Should identities be concealed to protect victims, or unveiled to galvanize public outcry? Can a journalist’s duty to inform coexist with a detective’s vow of silence until the rescue is secure? Clara wrestles with her editor’s pressure for sensational headlines, while Marcos struggles to silence the echoes of orders that once cost lives.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Over ten atmospheric chaptersーfrom the cozy warmth of the seaside bakery to the stark gloom of submerged holding cellsーthe novel weaves a tapestry of suspense, moral reckoning, and community resilience. When they finally expose Salvador “El Poncho” Ramos and his cohorts, the climax unfolds in a packed dockside press conference, radio helicopters overhead and national crews watching as truth overtakes fear.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the poignant epilogue, Muros de la Costa reclaims its soul: children return to sunlight, grateful families rebuild their lives, and the village’s battered heart beats anew. A single sea-polished shell, gifted by Ioana to Clara, becomes a symbol of remembrance and hopeーproof that the tides may wash away footprints, but also restore what was lost.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Shadows on the Tide＜/em＞ is a tribute to courage, compassion, and the power of storyーwhere every misty morning and every creaking board speaks to the light that emerges from even the deepest shadows.＜/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 Slipthk War: Pleroma The Slipthk War【電子書籍】[ D?v?n ]

＜p＞The war has become more than war.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It is no longer a clash of forcesーbut a collision of truths, a convergence of archetypes, a reawakening of memories buried beneath the bones of time. The cataclysm unleashed by the Ash'Ara has peeled back the final veil, revealing what has always lingered behind the dream of existence: the Pleroma.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Here, at the threshold of form and formlessness, the illusion of separation begins to dissolve.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Elo-D?v?nーonce merely D?v?n, now fused with Elo-Ravin, the divine spark of remembrance, and Naviel, the echo of cosmic thoughtーhas become the axis of a deeper unraveling. His body, mind, and soul are no longer distinct. He is dreamt by the cosmos even as he dreams it. Every step he takes echoes across the lattice of being, stirring gods, guardians, and forgotten sentience from their long silence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The companions that journey with him are no longer what they were.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alind, bearer of compassion and conduit of grace, now resonates with the pulse of the Pleroma, her presence bending reality to the shape of empathy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Divinity, the formless, who was once a whisper, has become a force of harmonic disruptionーa daughter of the void who sings to awaken truth from its prison of certainty.＜/p＞ ＜p＞E?χa, cloaked in paradox, holds the mirror to all things and reveals the nature of choice through her very breath.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Even the once-exiled ?????ーthe fallen sentinel of the Eastーmust confront the core of his undoing as the ancient Elders reemerge to reclaim dominion over what was never theirs to begin with.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Together, they pass through realms of myth and memory, across the Threshold of the Echoed Self, through the Spheres of the Forgotten Ones, and into the Chamber of Infinite Conjunctions, where identity is not static but fluidーtranscendent, recursive, and always in the act of becoming.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But not all forces wish for healing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Beneath the shimmering membrane of the Pleroma stirs Ravhel-Suun, the great betrayer, the wound given voice. He is not merely an antagonist, but a living symptom of the cosmic splitーthe dissonance between knowing and being. He seeks not destruction, but correction. Not vengeance, but integration on his terms. His design is not chaos, but symmetry. Perfect, soulless, silent.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As the group reaches the Heart of the Pleroma, they are each shown what was lost: their true names, their divine echoes, the original threads that once wove them into the great harmonic whole. It is there they confront the being older than Sophia, bearing both the fracture and the seed. And it is there that the first breath ever spoken speaks again.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What is the Slipthk but the consequence of forgetting?＜/p＞ ＜p＞What is the war but a plea for remembrance?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the final arc of this installment, reality itself bends under the weight of their choices. The fabric of time strains as timelines collapse, reweave, and echo into eternity. And from the soul of Ravhel-Suun, a hidden corridor opensーThe Wound, a living passage through the very origin of division.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To pass through is to lose everything. To remember what lies beyond is to die and become something entirely new.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Slipthk War: Pleroma is not a continuationーit is an ascension. A metaphysical climax of symbol, silence, and soul. It invites the reader into a realm where philosophy becomes flesh, where myth births consequence, and where the truest battle is fought not between good and evil, but between dissonance and harmony, between forgetting and remembering, between exile… and return.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is where the gods bleed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Where the self shatters.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Where the truth is whole, and the whole is broken.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And from that brokenness, a new dawn waits to be born.＜/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。

This book is an introspective journey, a passage through memories that, like echoes of a distant past, resonate in the mind but never become entirely clear.

【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 End of the River【電子書籍】[ Simon Winchester ]

＜p＞When it comes to climate-change-inspired threats, it is rising sea levels we hear most about. But if the oceans are, as Herman Melville put it, “the tide-beating heart of the earth,” rivers are its circulatory system. In the United States, there is no river more storied, symbolic, and vital than the Mississippi, and none, to use Mark Twain’s word, more lawless. The struggle to control it has been going on nearly as long as there has been human civilization on its banks, and the attendant drama and dangers have been memorialized by many writers, among them Twain and, in his seminal 1987 ＜em＞New Yorker＜/em＞ account, John McPhee. Now Simon Winchester, the consummate, critically acclaimed storyteller and bestselling author of ＜em＞Atlantic＜/em＞ and ＜em＞The Professor and the Madman＜/em＞, turns his eye to what could well be the height of the battle, one increasingly doomed by man’s interference.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The most fateful instance of this interference was accomplished by an inventor and steamboat captain, Henry Miller Shreve, in the nineteenth century. In vivid detail, Winchester re-creates the smashing and digging and the great man- and steam power that Shreve wielded to clear the river of snags and logjams and, in order to shorten the passage to New Orleans, carve an entirely new channel for it. What no one foresaw was that his celebrated shortcut, Shreve’s Cut, would form a sloping chute to an adjacent river, the Atchafalaya, and, aided by gravity and shifting weather patterns, increasingly tempt the waters of the Mississippi in its direction. Resisting this trend with ever more ingenious methods (and ever more expense) began just after, first with a system of levees, then with added spillways, and, finally, with the conception and construction of a floodgate system, the Old River Control Structure, still in place today. And the stakes are high: Ifーmany say ＜em＞when＜/em＞ーthe Atchafalaya captures the Mississippi’s stream, it will be the end of life as it’s currently known in the American South. The great cities of LouisianaーNew Orleans and Baton Rougeーwould be rendered fetid swamps; entire sections of the American infrastructure, from pipelines to electricity and water supply, would collapse. Homes would be displaced and livelihoods, if not lives, would be lost.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Deftly combining the hydrological and the historical, Winchester tours the challenges that upped the ante on the Mississippi River Commission’s duty to protect the watershed and its inhabitants: the upheavals that came in the form of the Great Flood of 1927, one of the most destructive natural disasters of all time, displacing more people than almost any event in American history, and the record-breaking inundations of 1937 and 1973. He pays tribute to the Army Corps of Engineers, for their Herculean efforts to keep the river on its current track, and to one civilian, Albert Einstein’s son Hans Albert Einstein, a hydraulic engineer and one of the main architects of the mighty control structure that continues to divide the Mississippi from the Atchafalaya. But how long can it hold in a time when extremes of weather are the norm, when storms come faster and more furiously, sending sediment-loaded water pounding against the floodgatesーevents that not only pit man against nature but, given that we cannot always agree which causes and correctives to pursue, man against man?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this elegant synthesis of past and present, the exigencies of the natural world and the human, Winchester offers an engrossing cautionary tale that readers cannot afford to ignore. It is a call to arms that asks whether accepting defeatーletting nature take its courseーmay be the only way to win.＜/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＞＜strong＞Robert W. Snyder's＜/strong＞ ＜em＞＜strong＞Crossing Broadway＜/strong＞＜/em＞ ＜strong＞tells how disparate groups overcame their mutual suspicions to rehabilitate housing, build new schools, restore parks, and work with the police to bring safety to streets racked by crime and fear.＜/strong＞ It shows how a neighborhood once nicknamed "Frankfurt on the Hudson" for its large population of German Jews became "Quisqueya Heights"ーthe home of the nation's largest Dominican community.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The story of Washington Heights illuminates New York City's long passage from the Great Depression and World War II through the urban crisis to the globalization and economic inequality of the twenty-first century. Washington Heights residents played crucial roles in saving their neighborhood, but its future as a home for working-class and middle-class people is by no means assured.

【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！】Resin Poems【電子書籍】[ Geri Doran ]

＜p＞In poems of quiet force, Geri Doran maps the fragility of human connection and the irreducible fact of grief. From the communal ruptures of Chechnya and Rwanda to the personal dislocations that attend great loss, Resin weighs frailty against responsibility, damage against the desires of the heart. For the poet, a factory fire in late-nineteenth-century Portland becomes a tool for precise knowing: "The phases of wood are a means / of dead reckoning: burn what is built / and gauge your passage / by what is lost." Even in so quotidian an act as the planting of potatoes, Doran's sure, meticulous, and carefully calibrated lines reveal the intensity of our yearnings: "What carried us from year to year was yield: / potatoes in, potatoes out, like rowing." Variously plaintive, passionate, intuitive, and serious, the voice in Resin tells how the natural world, in both its wildness and regularity, expresses and mediates human longing.You entered me like migraine, left＜br /＞ like migraine a private vacancy.＜br /＞ The darkness outside is great and wild.＜br /＞ Blue plums falling from an old tree＜br /＞ demand we believe in wildness,＜br /＞ fallingness. What's the matter is memory,＜br /＞ shrivel and tart. How in this sweet＜br /＞ aftermath of everything the mind＜br /＞ should settle on plums (blue plums!)＜br /＞ is one of the mysteries.

【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 Motherless Child in the Novels of Pauline Hopkins【電子書籍】[ Jill Bergman ]

＜p＞Well known in her day as a singer, playwright, author, and editor of the Colored American Magazine, Pauline Hopkins (1859--1930) has been the subject of considerable scholarly attention over the last twenty years. Academic review of her many accomplishments, however, largely overlooks Hopkins's contributions as novelist. The Motherless Child in the Novels of Pauline Hopkins, the first book-length study of Hopkins's major fiction, fills this gap, offering a sustained analysis of motherlessness in Contending Forces, Hagar's Daughter, Winona, and Of One Blood.＜br /＞ Motherlessness appears in all of Hopkins's novels. The motif, Jill Bergman asserts, resonated profoundly for African Americans living with the legacy of abduction from a motherland and familial fragmentation under slavery. In her novels, motherlessness serves as a trope for the national alienation of post-Reconstruction African Americans. The longing and search for a maternal figure, then, represents an effort to reconnect with the absent mother -- a missing parent and a lost African history and heritage. In Hopkins's oeuvre, the image of the mother of African heritage -- a source of both identity and persecution -- becomes a source of power and possibility.＜br /＞ Bergman shows how historical events -- such as Bleeding Kansas, the execution of John Brown, and the Middle Passage -- gave rise to a sense of motherlessness and how Hopkins's work engages with that of other contemporaneous race activists. This illuminating study opens new terrain not only in Hopkins scholarship, but also in the complex interchanges between literary, African American, psychoanalytic, feminist, and postcolonial studies.＜/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！】American Legends The Life of George Washington【電子書籍】

＜p＞A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history’s most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors’ American Legends series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of America’s most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Every American is taught a pristine narrative of the life and legacy of George Washington and can easily recite the highlights of the “Father of Our Country”. The remarkable Virginian led an under-resourced rag-tag army to ultimate victory in the American Revolution before becoming the nation’s first president, setting it on its path toward superpower status. He may not have actually chopped down a cherry tree or tossed a silver dollar across the Potomac, but his contemporaries considered his character above reproach. When Washington voluntary resigned as commander of the armies, he stunned the world. Everyone in the colonies and the world realized that Washington, at the head of the last army standing in the colonies, could have made himself king of the new United States on the spot, and it would have been a move supported by his rank and file soldiers. Instead, Washington became the first Westerner to voluntarily demobilize his army, ensuring civilian control of the new nation. King George III called Washington "the greatest character of the age" for making that decision.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As President from 1788-1796, Washington set every precedent for the executive branch of the new government, from forming a “Cabinet” to limiting himself to two terms. He even set precedents with his farewell address, which helped guide the policies of subsequent presidents.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Washington did more than any other man to ensure the success of the American Revolution and the safe passage of the new United States from fledgling nation to budding power, but what actually made the man tick? Underneath his steel surface burned an almost insatiable political ambition, and a man who was acutely self-conscious of himself. In addition to highlighting his life and legacy, ＜em＞American Legends: The Life of George Washington＜/em＞ humanizes the leader who is now remembered more like a flawless demigod than a man. Along with pictures of the Father of Our Country and other important people and events in his life, you will learn about Washington like you never have before, in no time at all.＜/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！】Legendary Commanders Who Challenged Ancient Rome The Lives and Legacies of Hannibal, Spartacus, and Attila the Hun【電子書籍】

＜p＞In the history of war, only a select few men always make the list of greatest generals. Napoleon. Caesar. Alexander. They are always joined by Hannibal, who has the distinction of being the only man who nearly brought Rome to its knees before its decline almost 700 years later. Rome never suffered a more horrifying defeat in its history than at Cannae, and indeed, Hannibal nearly rewrote the course of Western history during the Second Punic War. Even today there remains great debate on just how he accomplished his masterful invasion of Italy across the Alps. Since his army included war elephants, historians still argue over exactly where and how he crossed over 2,000 years after he managed that incredible feat.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hannibal will always be listed among history’s greatest generals, and his military campaign in Italy during the Second Punic War will always be studied, but part of the aura and mystique surrounding the Carthaginian legend is that there is still a lot of mystery. Since Carthage was destroyed by Rome a generation after Hannibal, most of what is known about Hannibal came from the very people he tormented in the late 2nd century B.C., and thus much of his background and life story is unknown. Moreover, while military historians are still amazed that he was able to maintain his army in Italy near Rome for nearly 15 years, scholars are still puzzled over some of his decisions, including why he never attempted to march on Rome in the first place.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Spartacus is the world’s most famous slave, and one of the most notorious figures of Ancient Rome. A slave enamored of freedom and willing to fight and die for it, he became especially popular in the years following the Enlightenment, after which he was widely viewed as a poignant champion of liberty in the 18th and 19th centuries. As a result, he became a symbol during struggles like the French Revolution, the American Revolution, the American Civil War and the struggle for emancipation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Today, his dual life as a gladiator and a “freedom fighter” makes him fascinating to audiences around the world. His tale, a blend of violent spectacle and civil rights, has been adapted for film (Stanley Kubrick’s memorable ＜em＞Spartacus＜/em＞), television (Starz’s popular television series), and in literature (appearing in everything from historical novels to comics). To this day, Spartacus (Spartaco) is a popular first name in central and southern Italy, and his name has been adopted by sports teams like FC Spartak Moscow and FC Spartak Plovdiv. The Soviet Union’s internal version of the Olympics, the Spartakiad, also derived its name from Spartacus.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Attila, Emperor of the Hunnic Empire and thus most commonly known as Attila the Hun, is an idiosyncratic figure who has become more myth than man, not least because much of his life is shrouded in mystery. Perhaps the most famous “barbarian” in history, Attila was the lord of a vast empire spanning two continents, but he is best remembered for what he did not conquer. Though he seemingly had Rome at his mercy in 452, he ultimately decided not to sack the Eternal City, and a year later he had suffered a mysterious death.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What is known about Attila came mostly from Priscus, a guest of his court who wrote several books about Attila’s life in Greek. Unfortunately, much of that work was lost to history, but not before the ancient writer Jordanes relied on it to write his own overexaggerated account of Attila’s life. And like their leader, the Huns themselves are an instantly recognizable name with mysterious origins; most of what is known about the Huns came from Chinese sources thousands of miles and an entire continent away from Italy. Naturally, the dearth of information and the passage of time have allowed myths and legends to fill in the most important details of Attila’s 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。

＜p＞This carefully crafted ebook: “The Complete Poetry & Sonnets of William Shakespeare” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.＜br /＞ Table of Contents:＜br /＞ The Sonnets＜br /＞ Venus And Adonis＜br /＞ The Rape Of Lucrece＜br /＞ The Passionate Pilgrim＜br /＞ The Phoenix And The Turtle＜br /＞ A Lover’s Complaint＜/p＞ ＜p＞Shakespeare's sonnets are a collection of 154 sonnets, dealing with themes such as the passage of time, love, beauty and mortality, first published in a 1609 quarto entitled Shakespeares Sonnets.＜br /＞ Venus and Adonis is a poem written in 1592?1593 and published in 1609. It recounts Venus' attempts to woo Adonis, their passionate coupling, and Adonis' rejection of the goddess, to which she responds with jealousy, with tragic results.＜br /＞ The Rape of Lucrece, published in 1594, is a narrative poem focusing on the rape and tragic death of the title character and on the revenge that follows.＜br /＞ The Passionate Pilgrim, published in 1599, is an anthology of 20 poems collected and published by William Jaggard that were attributed to "W. Shakespeare" on the title page, only five of which are considered authentically Shakespearean. These are two sonnets, later to be published in the 1609 collection of Shakespeare's sonnets, and three poems extracted from the play Love's Labour's Lost.＜br /＞ The Phoenix and the Turtle, first published in 1601, is an allegorical poem about the death of ideal love, widely considered to be one of his most obscure works and has led to many conflicting interpretations. The poem describes a funeral arranged for the deceased Phoenix and Turtledove, the latter a traditional emblem of devoted love.＜br /＞ A Lover's Complaint is a narrative poem published as an appendix to the original edition of Shakespeare's sonnets. It is given the title "A Lover's Complaint" in the book, which was published in 1609.＜/p＞ ＜p＞William Shakespeare (1564 ? 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.

【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 Iphigenia in Tauris of Euripides【電子書籍】[ Euripides ]

＜p＞The plot unfolds as Iphigenia encounters her long-lost brother, Orestes, who arrives in Tauris with his friend Pylades. Orestes has been commanded by Apollo to retrieve a sacred statue of Artemis to atone for the murder of his mother, Clytemnestra. Unaware of each other's identities, Iphigenia is initially tasked with preparing Orestes for sacrifice, as the custom in Tauris mandates that foreigners be offered to Artemis. Eventually, through a series of dramatic recognitions, the siblings realize each other’s identities. In a climactic turn, they devise a plan to escape with the statue and flee Tauris, outsmarting the local king, Thoas, with the aid of Athena, who intervenes to ensure their safe passage.This play is distinguished by its themes of family loyalty, forgiveness, and divine guidance, contrasting the usual tragic tones of Euripides' works. The play emphasizes the power of sibling bonds and explores the redemptive potential of human connection and divine mercy. "Iphigenia in Tauris" stands out as a narrative of survival and reunion, illustrating how, even amidst violence and chaos, compassion and cleverness can prevail. It has inspired many later works and adaptations, valued for its compelling characters, dramatic structure, and its exploration of fate and human agency in the context of myth.＜/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。
