＜p＞"Baba, if you want Meher Mount I’ll keep it for you through hellfire and damnation!"＜/p＞ ＜p＞With these words fiery Agnes Baron commences the remaining 46 years of her hard-scrabble life devoted to Indian mystic Meher Baba who claims to be the Avatar (God in human form). She will get plenty of both. Two years prior in 1946, at Meher Baba’s behest, she, Jean Adriel, and other Baba-lovers found and established Meher Mount, an idyllic 172-acre retreat atop Sulphur Mountain in Ojai, CA. By the time she made her vow, Jean and the others had departed, leaving Meher Mount in her hands. But how will she keep “Baba’s Place” out of the hands of covetous schemers? She doesn’t own it. Jean does. And if Jean wants to sell it, there’s nothing she can do. Or is there? It brings out the witch in her. For this Meher Baba nicknames Agnes "Agni," Sanskrit word for fire, and dubs her his “Beloved Watchdog.” For 10 years she worries herself more than any dog its bone that it will be sold from under Baba’s feet. Shortly before his only visit to Meher Mount, on August 2, 1956, Agni gets Meher Mount in her name. But her worries aren’t over. A single woman without means, she finds work as a substitute teacher, and sells strawberries she grows, and lives with the haunting fear she won’t be able to make the mortgage payments, and the bank will seize it. Some who covet the property try to make her a ward of the state.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Agnes Baron’s remarkable life is written in the form of an idyll, a narrative poem in heroic verse. And heroic aptly describes her 87-year odyssey. Shortly after graduating in 1928 with a sociology degree from Antioch College, known for turning out revolutionaries, Agnes departs for war-torn Europe, on fire to help “My Friends Abroad.” Working as a freelance journalist, she chronicles the plight of the Jews fleeing anti-Semitism, and goes to Lisbon where she “bullies” bureaucrats for passports, and shipping companies and captains for passage. She travels the Balkan states, chronicling the plight of the underdogs: the poor, sick, oppressed, and downtrodden. In Spain she graphically depicts the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War, the bombings by German and Italian planes of Guernica and Barcelona. Throughout Europe she raises the alarm of the growing Nazi menace, and with the outbreak of WWII, the mounting horrors of the holocaust. After 13 years, sickened with man’s inhumanity to man, Agnes abandons her faith in God and returns to San Francisco, lost. “I hated humanity. I just wanted everybody to die. Blow them to hell. I just hated everybody. I was so in the deeps of despair that I gave myself arthritis of the spine. Then I stumbled on this lovely Quaker lady, and I went to one of her meetings. She went to Vedanta. I thought, Well if she goes to Vedanta it must be respectable. So I went up the hill and walked into the Vedanta Temple, and for the first time I had a ray of hope. There must be some hope for humanity. . . .”＜/p＞ ＜p＞She embraces Vedanta, and asks the swami of the Vedanta Temple if he will accept her as a nun. “I don’t take women,” he tells her, “but my brother swami in Hollywood does.” She goes there, he accepts her, and she lives the life of a Vedanta nun for two years, but still she does not find peace. Then she realizes why. She has to let God back into her heart. She does. But then she catches the swami in an indiscretion, and leaves him in disgust, telling him, “You're a fallen guru.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞She goes to a nearby Vedanta temple, Ananda Ashrama, is accepted, but then is told her typing late at night is keeping others awake. The swami tells her of another place two miles up the road, the New Life Center, devoted to an Indian guru. She wants nothing more to do with gurus, but she needs a place where she can write in peace. She goes there, rents a little place on a hill, and tells the owner, Jean Adriel, “Look, I don’t want anything to do with your damned [this under her breath] guru.” His name is Meher Baba.＜/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！】Ad Marginem A Tyranny of God【電子書籍】[ Francesco Rizzuto ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Reviewer's comment:＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞A Tyranny of God is a remarkable accomplishment. Covering over five decades, it lays bare the terrible brutality of the Second World War, its lingering consequences, and the breathtaking mendacity of the RC Church in enabling it all.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the novel, the reader follows the life of Adam Di Domenico, a Jewish boy adopted into the Church towards the end of the war, later becoming a priest, his heritage hidden. Through Adam, the reader is drawn into a world of political duplicity and deceit, which is nowhere more telling than in the Church's complicity in providing safe passage to Nazi war criminals at war's end.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If this political backdrop isn't compelling enough, the author manages to weave an intensely personal story, which sees Adam, now exiled by the Church to Canada, reunited with his sister, whom he believed lost in Auschwitz.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It's impossible to do justice to the various subplots in a short review; suffice it to say that this is a truly compelling read, from the opening pages through to the end. On the one hand, it celebrates the individual human spirit, while on the other pillorying organizations that would subvert that spirit to nefarious ends.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Not only is this novel clearly meticulously researched, it is also exceptionally well-written. If you're a fan of historical fiction, do yourself a favor and add A Tyranny of God to your must-read list.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞A Reader's comment:＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞I read this book on Wattpad and loved it. The writing is beautiful and the characters engaging. A dark and rather gothic story that sucked me right in. You need to stick with it through the first part that has a lot of religious background because the protagonist is a little orphan boy who hides inside a church in Rome during the German occupation then later he becomes a priest. The action ramps up when he gets exiled to Canada and hooks up with a nun for some hot sex. I won't give away any spoilers. A very sensitive piece of writing with a heady mix of politics and sex. Not an erotic novel as such but still it held my interest until the very end. I felt close to the characters and they really made me think about how the world works. Recommending this book to anyone who enjoys a thought provoking and highly entertaining read.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Another reader's comment:＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is an interesting story from a historical standpoint. I wasn't sure if I was reading historical fact or fiction, it's so well told from an insider's POV, the omnipresent fly on the wall. A lot of attention to character development and detail here. An excellent and engrossingly read.＜/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。

What began as a biography of Perry Wallaceーthe first African American basketball player in the Southeastern Conference (SEC)ーbecame a catalyst for meaningful change and reconciliation between Wallace and the city that had rejected him. In this tenth-anniversary edition, scholars of race and sports Louis Moore and Derrick E.

古本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Tudor Adventurers - James Evans (Pegasus Books) 【紙書籍】 9781605986111

タイトル: Tudor Adventurers著者: James Evans出版社: Pegasus Books出版日: 2014年08月15日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。In the spring of 1553, three ships sailed north-east from London into uncharted waters. The scale of their ambition was breathtaking. Drawing on the latest navigational science and the new spirit of enterprise and discovery sweeping the Tudor capital, they sought a northern passage to Asia and its riches. The success of the expedition depended on its two leaders: Sir Hugh Willoughby, a brave gentleman soldier, and Richard Chancellor, a brilliant young scientist and practical man of the sea. When their ships became separated in a storm, each had to fend for himself. Their fates were sharply divided. One returned to England, to recount extraordinary tales of the imperial court of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. The tragic, mysterious story of the other two ships has had to be pieced together through the surviving captain's log book, after he and his crew became lost and trapped by the advancing Arctic winter. This exceptional endeavour was one of the boldest in British history, and its impact was profound. Although the "merchant adventurers" failed to reach China as they had hoped, their achievements would lay the foundations for England's expansion on a global stage. As James Evans' vivid account shows, their voyage also makes for a moving story of daring, discovery, tragedy, and adventure.

【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！】25th Seven Stories Seven Stories, #25【電子書籍】[ Max Nabati ]

＜p＞"25th Seven Stories" by Max Nabati is a captivating anthology of seven interconnected tales that weave through the rich tapestry of Iranian life, culture, and history. Set against the diverse landscapes of Iranーfrom the majestic snow-capped peaks of Damavand and the historic bridges of Isfahan to the dusty alleys of Sardasht, the bustling bazaars of Tehran, the ancient caravanserais of Tus, the palm-fringed streets of Kerman, and the smog-choked high-rises of Niavaranーthese stories delve into the human condition with profound empathy and insight.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the first story, a man confronts the passage of time amid the rugged foothills of Iran's tallest mountain, reflecting on youthful ambitions and the paths not taken in 1960s Tehran. The narrative shifts seamlessly between past and present, evoking the scents of wild grass, coffee in smoky caf?s, and the chill of regret. Footnotes enrich the text with cultural notes on landmarks like Caf? Naderi and poetic figures such as Omar Khayyam, grounding the emotional journey in Persian heritage.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The second tale unfolds in the heart of Isfahan, where a woman's chance encounter at the airport sparks a forbidden connection, challenging societal norms in a city of turquoise domes and tree-lined avenues. Nabati paints vivid contrasts between tradition and modernity, exploring the tensions of marriage, identity, and personal freedom in affluent Jolfa district, with references to iconic sites like Si-o-se Pol and Chahar Bagh.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Shifting to a darker historical lens, the third story examines the lingering shadows of war in a Kurdish border town, focusing on a family's everyday routines shattered by unforeseen catastrophe. Through intimate details of daily lifeーbaking bread, sewing, children's playーNabati highlights themes of endurance and the unseen scars that bind communities, drawing on real events to underscore human resilience.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The fourth narrative captures a day in the life of a successful Tehran professional, as preparations for a dinner party stir memories of lost loves and unfulfilled dreams. From the vibrant Tajrish Bazaar to the caf?s of Valiasr Street, the story immerses readers in contemporary urban Iran, blending nostalgia with the hum of city life and nods to poets like Forough Farrokhzad and Ahmad Shamlou.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In Kerman, the fifth story follows a retired military man's quest for truth amid rainy nights and shadowy caf?s, unraveling layers of family secrets and past loyalties. Nabati infuses suspense with elements of thriller, set against pistachio orchards and ancient citadels, probing the intersections of honor, betrayal, and the weight of history.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The sixth piece transports readers to mid-20th-century Tus, where generational conflicts simmer in a family tied to the Silk Road's remnants.

【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！】Relief on the Hoof The Seagoing Cowboys, the Heifer Project, and UNRRA in Poland【電子書籍】[ Eva Plach ]

＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Relief on the Hoof＜/strong＞＜/em＞ ＜strong＞is about the thousands of horses and cattle that the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) shipped as humanitarian aid in the immediate aftermath of WWII and about the "seagoing cowboys" who cared for the animals during their trans-Atlantic journeys.＜/strong＞ UNRRA contracted the Church of the Brethren to recruit almost 7,000 men to do this work, and in exchange provided free passage on its ships to the cattle that were part of the Brethren's own humanitarian initiative, the Heifer Project. The Heifer Project emerged from a conviction that cows and their milk offered the best value as relief commodities.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As Eva Plach shows, both UNRRA's animal aid program and the Heifer Project were responding to a crisis in postwar Europe. Millions of livestock were lost during the war, and contemporary experts warned that postwar recovery, food security, and the prevention of social and political unrest would be compromised without replenishing the lost herds.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Poland received more Heifer Project cattle than any other country and was the major recipient of UNRRA cattle and horses as well. ＜em＞Relief on the Hoof＜/em＞ shows that Poland's special status, based on assessments of wartime destruction and postwar need, reflected its unique geopolitical importance as Cold War tensions mounted.＜/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＞In a world trembling between illusion and awakening, ＜em＞From Shadow to Flame＜/em＞ invites readers into the sacred passage from captivity to illumination-a journey through the darkened corridors of fear, religious control, and inherited belief toward the inner sanctuary of wisdom, freedom, and light.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rev. Dr. Laura Brown weaves theology, mysticism, psychology, and lived experience into a luminous tapestry of spiritual transformation. With lyrical precision and prophetic clarity, she dismantles the illusions that have bound humanity for centuries-those that claim divinity is distant, that worth must be earned, and that salvation lies in obedience rather than awakening.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the heart of this work burns the forgotten wisdom of Sophia-the Divine Feminine, the Breath of God, the living flame of consciousness that once moved freely through creation before being confined by dogma. Brown rekindles her presence as both archetype and ally, showing that Sophia is not lost but waiting-within every seeker who dares to remember.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through poetic insight and profound reflection, ＜em＞From Shadow to Flame＜/em＞ guides readers through the alchemy of spiritual transmutation: the art of allowing darkness to become the raw material of light. Each chapter unfolds as both revelation and roadmap, offering the reader not doctrine, but remembrance-not escape from the world, but return to wholeness.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is not merely a book about faith. It is a manifesto for the soul's liberation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For those who have lost their faith and for those who never stopped searching, ＜em＞From Shadow to Flame＜/em＞ is both compass and companion-a call to rise from the ashes of fear and reclaim the sacred fire within.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Here, awakening is not rebellion.

＜p＞**In this “book of great power and tenderness” (Charles Foster), a quest for an elusive animal reveals the comfort of nature in a changing, uncertain world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Deeply philosophical, addressing the questions that we are all pondering about our place in this world and the degree to which we are part of nature. A book for your bedside table.”ーCatherine Raven, author of the ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ bestseller ＜em＞Fox & I＜/em＞**＜/p＞ ＜p＞Fifty years after Dag O. Hessen encounters wolverine tracks on a ski trip with his father and follows them until they disappear down a steep passage, he’s back to search for the animal that escaped him. His father is long gone but the mountains are still thereーand somewhere out there is a wolverine, an elusive creature of myth and mystery. In Hessen’s imagination, the wolverine is wilderness in animal form, representing everything lost to us in a nature that is being steadily reduced to a tame vestige of its former self. Wolverines have a reputation as vicious gluttons: they’ve been known to kill a reindeer, bite its head off, and then hang it high up in a tree like a trophy. Yet wolverines can also be shy and playful, skidding down slopes and scaling mountain peaks for no apparent reasonーperhaps, like humans, just to enjoy the view.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Over the course of a year, Hessen returns to the mountains in every season, but, since the passing of his father and sister, it’s no longer just a wolverine that he seeks. As Hessen walks and skis over peaks and valleys on the wolverine’s trail, spending his nights in silence with only the starry skies for company, he shares his biologist’s deep knowledge of flora and fauna through the changing seasons and in a changing climate. He also draws on literary explorations of humans and nature, wildness versus civilization, and, of course, wolverines, referencing writers including Thoreau, E. O. Wilson, Jon Krakauer, and Kerstin Ekman.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Wolverine Tracks＜/em＞ is a story about time passing, about change and loss in nature and in Hessen’s own life. It’s also a book about what it means to be human in our tumultuous world, and the joy and power of being in nature.＜/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＞Death smells rot in a Birmingham hospital and knows something is wrong: the newly dead are being bound to their bodiesーand it isn’t her doing. At the same time, fourteen-year-old Daisy draws lost souls like a lighthouse, and Tobias Staghornーlecturer, reluctant prophet, the man Music once choseーfinds the impossible at his door when Music returns with a body and old love becomes suddenly crowded. Through a winter sliding toward tense spring across the Midlands and London, A&E doctor Stuart Murray comes back to the wards just as “impossible patients” stop dying on schedule, and the quiet rules show their limits: Death can guide but not choose; Music can kindle feeling but not command consent; Time can braid a soul’s tether, but every crossing must be the soul’s own.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To free the jammed passage between life and afterlife, Death needs answers while Tobias wants a department built and a grief faced; Stuart wants to save bodies without losing himself; Daisy just wants the noise to stop. As shadow ghosts thicken and hospitals buckle, what do they owe the living, the deadーand each otherーwhen Time himself is the sabotage? Lyrical, hospital-set, quietly witty, queer, and threaded with melancholic hope. Second in this cycle but reads cleanly as a stand-alone. Boundaries include multiple on-page intimate scenes (with explicit consent), medical trauma detail, grief and harassment, an attempted sexual assault referenced on-page, and frequent strong language. For fans of personified cosmic forces, hospital drama with heart, messy queer romance with D/s edges, found family under pressure, grief-into-grace arcs, intimate urban fantasy.＜/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 ranks today as among the half-dozen greatest soldiers that America has produced. Military academies in both hemispheres still teach his tactics. Revered by his men, respected by his foes, Jackson became seemingly invincible. When he learned of the general's fatal wound, Robert E. Lee sent his "affectionate regards, " saying, "He has lost his left arm but I my right arm." Jackson's early death in 1863 was the greatest personal loss suffered by the Confederacy and one that permanently crippled the wartime South. This eagerly awaited biography is based on years of research into little-known manuscripts, unpublished letters, newspapers, and other primary sources. It offers for the first time a complete portrait - not only of Jackson the brilliant military strategist and beloved general but also of Jackson, the man of orphaned background, unyielding determination to conquer adversity, and deep religious convictions.

There she grows up and meets a girl and falls in love, beginning to believe that she can settle down.

We get pulled into Olga's past as she puzzles her way through an underground Midwestern Russian mafia, in pursuit of a string of mathematical stabbings.

タイトル: Broken Road: From the Iron Gates to Mount Athos著者: Patrick Leigh Fermor出版社: NYRB Classics出版日: 2015年01月20日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。Patrick Leigh Fermor recounts the last leg of his epic walk across Europe as he makes his way through Bulgaria, Romania, and finally Greece. In the winter of 1933, eighteen-year-old Patrick ("Paddy") Leigh Fermor set out on a walk across Europe, starting in Holland and ending in Constantinople. Decades later, Leigh Fermor told the story of that life-changing journey in A Time of Gifts and Between the Woods and the Water, works now celebrated as among the most vivid, absorbing, and beautifully written travel books of all time. The Broken Road is the account of the final leg of his journey, catching up with Paddy in the fall of 1934, following him through Bulgaria and Romania and ending in Greece. Days and nights on the road, spectacular landscapes and uncanny cities, friendships lost and found, leading the high life in Bucharest or camping out with fishermen and shepherds--such incidents and escapades are described with all the linguistic bravura and astonishing learning that Leigh Fermor is famous for, but also with a melancholy awareness of the passage of time. Throughout it we can hear the still-ringing voice of an irrepressible young man embarking on a life of adventure.
