＜p＞A catchy title is the first example of the creative use of metaphors which fill Taking Yoga Off the Mat, by Jenni Carmichael Clark. The philosophy is simple, “We can do hard things ON the mat. So, we can also do hard things when we roll it up and leave. We can handle challenges ON the mat, and we can handle what we face OFF the mat as well.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞While it may sound like a book written for yoga enthusiasts, every chapter introduces imaginative concepts which have universal application. Some messages refer to specific yoga poses where Jenni provides ideas on how to apply the exercise principles in day-to-day life. In the Chapter, Get Your Ticket for The Happiness Express, Jenni pulls back the curtain to the most common, yet elusive, trait we are all seeking… happiness… and shows its relation to (you guessed it) …yoga!＜/p＞ ＜p＞“I have heard it said that ‘Happiness is a decision, not an occurrence.’＜br /＞ That it’s something you choose. No matter what comes at you, you can decide＜br /＞ whether to allow it to thwart your joy or strengthen your spirit. That Finding＜br /＞ Joy is not the same as Living in Joy. I learn that in my yoga practice. No matter＜br /＞ what pose I am faced with, or how difficult/easy it might be, I can determine＜br /＞ how to react and manage the challenges it presents. I can choose my response.＜br /＞ And I can take that decision off the mat every time I walk back into the world.”＜br /＞ ーTaking Yoga Off the Mat pg. 103＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the chapter titled, Taking Child’s Pose... Inconceivable! Jenni uses multiple (surprisingly fitting) references from the story, Princess Bride, to show how something perceived as a simpler stretch, the Child’s Pose, is much more complex than it appears. Jenni explains, “Child’s Pose actually takes me deeper. It gives me a chance to reset, reflect, meditate, and get ready for what comes next in my own time. To find my breath and go deeper inside myself.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Many themes throughout the book speak to the heart of a mother, high-five an adventurer, honor the curiosity and wonderment of a child, and encourage bravery and resilience. Jenni is promoting what she often calls her “Disney Philosophy,” which is to Believe in Impossible Things, Have Courage & Be Kind, and Do The Next Right Thing. As Walt Disney said, "Around here, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forwardーopening new doors and doing new thingsーbecause we're curious. And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths!" Jenni echoes these words of Walt Disney and exclaims, “that's my Alice ‘Muchness’ philosophy in a nutshell!”＜/p＞ ＜p＞From the beginning in the Author’s Note, readers will discover a kindred spirit in Jenni Carmichael Clark. It is as if Jenni has always been the best friend you turn to for encouragement, when you need a good laugh, or are hungry for a reminder that despite all of its adversity, life is a fascinating and worthwhile adventure! In the chapter titled, What’s Next? Jenni brings her readers to the ice rink and reminds them that, “Despite bumps in the ice that cause you to take a tumble or two, the skating is amazing!” Towards the end of her book, Jenni gives the compassionate encouragement we all need, “I know firsthand that stars shine more brilliantly in the deep darkness. I’ve huddled in the dark and gazed at them up there, twinkling. We just do the work and then we let it goーin class and in life. On the mat and off of it.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jenni began writing reflective essays and thoughts in a blog she started in 2013 called My Own Little Corner by Jenni (myownlittlecornerbyJenni.Wordpress.com). As she found clarity and grace on her yoga mat, Jenni decided to share more of these themes in her first book, Taking Yoga Off the Mat.

【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 Cure For Death By Lightning【電子書籍】[ Gail Anderson-Dargatz ]

＜p＞"The cure for death by lightning was handwritten in thick, messy blue ink in my mother’s scrapbook, under the recipe for my father’s favourite oatcakes: ＜em＞Dunk the dead by lightning in a cold water bath for two hours and if still dead, add vinegar and soak for an hour more.＜/em＞"＜/p＞ ＜p＞So begins Gail Anderson-Dargatz’s extraordinary first novel, a seductive and thrilling book that captures the heart and imagination, as filled with the magic and mystery of life as it is with its lurking evils and gut-wrenching hardships. ＜strong＞The Cure for Death by Lightning＜/strong＞ sold more than a staggering 100,000 copies in Canada alone and became a bestseller in Great Britain, later to be published in the United States and Europe. It was nominated for the Giller Prize, the richest fiction prize in Canada, and received a Betty Trask Award in the U.K.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞The Cure for Death by Lightning＜/strong＞ takes place in the poor, isolated farming community of Turtle Valley, British Columbia, in the shadow of the Second World War. The fifteenth summer of Beth Weeks’s life is full of strange happenings: a classmate is mauled to death; children go missing on the nearby reserve; an unseen predator pursues Beth. She is surrounded by unusual characters, including Nora, the sensual half-Native girl whose friendship provides refuge; Filthy Billy, the hired hand with Tourette’s Syndrome; and Nora’s mother, who has a man’s voice and an extra little finger. Then there’s the darkness within her own family: her domineering, shell-shocked father has fits of madness, and her mother frequently talks to the dead. Beth, meanwhile, must wrestle with her newfound sexuality in a harsh world where nylons, perfume and affection have no place. Then, in a violent storm, she is struck by lightning in her arm, and nothing is quite the same again. She decides to explore the dangers of the bush.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Beth is a strong, honest, and compassionate heroine, bringing hope and joy into an environment that is often cruel. The character of Beth’s haunted mother infuses the book with life by means of her scrapbook of recipes scattered throughout, with luscious descriptions of food, gardening, and remedies, both practical and bizarre. Seen through Beth’s eyes, the West Coast landscape is full of beauty and mysteries, with its forests and rivers, and its rich native culture.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The ＜em＞Globe and Mail＜/em＞ commented that ＜strong＞The Cure for Death by Lightning＜/strong＞ was "Canadian to the core," with hints of Susannah Moodie and Margaret Atwood and Alice Munro. Anderson-Dargatz’s vision of rural life has drawn comparisons with William Faulkner and John Steinbeck. A magic realism reminiscent of Latin American literature is also present, as flowers rain from the sky, and men turn into animals. Yet the style of ＜strong＞The Cure for Death by Lightning＜/strong＞, which the ＜em＞Boston Globe＜/em＞ called "Pacific Northwest Gothic," is wholly original. Launched in a year with more than the usual number of excellent first novels (1996 was also the year of ＜strong＞Fall On Your Knees＜/strong＞ by Ann-Marie MacDonald and ＜strong＞Fugitive Pieces＜/strong＞ by Anne Michaels), this book with its assured voice heralds a worthy successor to Margaret Atwood, Carol Shields, Margaret Laurence and Alice Munro.＜/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！】VAMPIRES FIRST BLOOD VOLUME II THE VAMPIRE LADIES【電子書籍】[ James Grant Goldin ]

＜p＞The literary evolution of the female vampire begins with the legendary LILITH...but is she a cursed monster, or a symbol of the rebellious, independent woman? While the male vampire has gone from monster to anti-hero to dream boyfriend, the path of his sister in blood has been more complex and mysterious. James Grant Goldin presents a curated anthology of the original texts, some freshly translated, that trace the evolution of the vampire lady through the end of the 19th century. In this anthology, there are, to be sure, monsters--VESPERTILIA of "A Mystery of the Campagna," ONEIZA of "Thalaba the Destroyer" and BRUNHILDE of "Wake Not The Dead"--but there are also vampire women in love, like CLARIMONDE, the airborne ALICE of Turgenev's "Phantoms," or the lesbian CARMILLA. There are vampires seeking justice or vengeance, like THE LADY BRIGHT. And there are characters like CLARA CROFTON or ALINSKA, who are both predators and victims. VAMPIRES: FIRST BLOOD VOLUME II - THE VAMPIRE LADIES collects the original adventures of the daughters of darkness who returned from the dead to pit their supernatural powers against the entrenched forces of patriarchy. This anthology comes complete with introductory notes and detailed glossaries to make these surprisingly contemporary stories come alive for a new generation＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lilith, from "The Alphabet of Ben Sira"＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Bride of Corinth, by Goethe＜/p＞ ＜p＞Oneiza, from Southey's "Thalaba the Destroyer"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Brunhilda, from Raupach's "Wake Not the Dead"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alinska, from Lamothe-Langon's "The Vampire, or the Virgin of Hungary"＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Vampire Bride, by Liddell＜/p＞ ＜p＞Clarimonde, from Gautier's "The Dead in Love"＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Lady Bright, from Maxwell's "The Vampire"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Clara Crofton, from Rymer's "Varney the Vampyre"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alice, from Turgenev's "Phantoms"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Vespertilia, from Crawford's "A Mystery of the Campagna" and Watson's "Vespertilia"＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Woman Who Did Not Care, from Kipling's "A Fool There Was"＜/p＞ ＜p＞Countess Dolingen, from Stoker's "Dracula's Guest"＜/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！】Immortals The Chalice Of Time Immortals, #2【電子書籍】[ M'tain Dubois ]

＜p＞In a time when gods once united across the world, the mighty beings of every pantheon joined forces to defeat their parentsーdeities who cared nothing for humanity. Together, they vanquished evil and safeguarded the world, wielding powers beyond imagination and protecting mortals from darkness. But peace was fleeting. After the gods divided the realms, their fragile alliance shattered, and the powerful Chalice of Timeーcapable of altering destiny itselfーwas destroyed, never to be used against them again.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Now, only the Olympians and Asgardians maintain a bond, a remnant of the unity that once saved the world. Young demigods Vasos and Kol, having completed their first heroic quests, are being tested by the gods to see if they are ready for the trials to come. But before their strength, courage, and loyalty can be fully measured, a mysterious force abducts them, transporting them far beyond the watchful eyes of their divine parents. Alone and vulnerable, the two must learn to trust each other instantly, for the fate of their livesーand the entire worldーdepends on their partnership.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Bound by a promise to a powerful goddess, Vasos and Kol embark on an urgent mission to rescue two demigods trapped in distant lands, each carrying secrets and skills vital to their success. Along the way, they must locate the final missing fragment of the Chalice of Time, a relic whose reassembly could either preserve all the gods have built or unravel it in chaos. The road is perilous, fraught with traps, ancient magic, and enemies whose power rivals that of the gods themselves.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through harrowing trials and impossible choices, Vasos and Kol forge new friendships and rely on old allies racing against time to find them. They encounter sea monsters, cursed warriors, and forces that defy mortal understanding, testing not only their strength and skill but the very limits of their hearts and minds. Every decision, every sacrifice, every battle inches them closer to the ultimate confrontation with an evil that could obliterate the realms of gods and men alike.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is an epic tale of trust, bravery, and destiny, where the line between hero and destroyer is perilously thin. Vasos and Kol must rise above fear, doubt, and the shadows of their past to fulfill a mission that could determine the future of the world. With the Chalice of Time's power hanging in the balance, the gods' legacy is in the hands of two young demigods who must confront darkness, embrace their potential, and prove that even in the absence of divine guidance, mortalsーand demi-mortalsーcan become legends.＜/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。

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, ＜em＞The Christian Science Monitor, Southern Living＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Our current climate of partisan fury is not new, and in ＜em＞The Soul of America＜/em＞ Meacham shows us how what Abraham Lincoln called the “better angels of our nature” have repeatedly won the day. Painting surprising portraits of Lincoln and other presidents, including Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, and Lyndon B. Johnson, and illuminating the courage of such influential citizen activists as Martin Luther King, Jr., early suffragettes Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt, civil rights pioneers Rosa Parks and John Lewis, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and Army-McCarthy hearings lawyer Joseph N. Welch, Meacham brings vividly to life turning points in American history.＜/p＞ ＜p＞He writes about the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the birth of the Lost Cause; the backlash against immigrants in the First World War and the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s; the fight for women’s rights; the demagoguery of Huey Long and Father Coughlin and the isolationist work of America First in the years before World War II; the anti-Communist witch-hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy; and Lyndon Johnson’s crusade against Jim Crow. Each of these dramatic hours in our national life have been shaped by the contest to lead the country to look forward rather than back, to assert hope over fearーa struggle that continues even now.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While the American story has not alwaysーor even oftenーbeen heroic, we have been sustained by a belief in progress even in the gloomiest of times. In this inspiring book, Meacham reassures us, “The good news is that we have come through such darkness before”ーas, time and again, Lincoln’s better angels have found a way to prevail.＜/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。

Born into a family of renowned painters, her natural talent shines in every sketch she drawsーbut it's her curiosity and sensitivity to hidden beauty that truly set her apart.

Soon, Alice is arrested, incarcerated, and as good as convicted in the eyes of a suspicious community. As a child, Alice designed her own map of the world to find her bearings. Now, as an adult, she must find her way again, through a maze of lies, doubt and ill will. A vivid human drama of guilt and betrayal, A Map of the World chronicles the intricate geographies of the human heart and all its mysterious, uncharted terrain. The result is a piercing drama about family bonds and a disappearing rural American life.

＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞“He was persuaded he could know no happiness but in the society of one with whom he could for ever indulge the melancholy that had taken possession of his soul.”＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Castle of Otranto＜/em＞ is a macabre tale that revolves around a haunted castle. Manfred, the lord of Otranto, finds his son, Conrad, smashed by an enormous helmet on his wedding day. It is soon revealed that according to an ancient ambiguous prophecy Conrad's death might have been an ominous event that signifies the end of his lordship. To rectify the situation Manfred decides to marry his son's bride despite having a wife. Will Manfred plot succeed? Is he indeed a true prince of the castle?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Walpole got the inspiration for this bizarre story from a dream. He gave his novel a very authentic embellishment using the plan of Strawberry Hill castle for the set in the novel. He also went as far as to make a believable spoof in the Preface to the first edition that the novel was recovered and translated from an old Italian manuscript. Not as culturally present and talked about a title as other Gothic classics like ＜em＞Frankenstein＜/em＞ or ＜em＞Dracula＜/em＞, ＜em＞Otranto＜/em＞ became the cornerstone text of the genre. The echoings of ＜em＞Otranto＜/em＞ are even noticeable in more contemporary gothic tales such as Toni Morrison's ＜em＞Beloved＜/em＞ where a building is more than a location but an entire mysterious entity in itself.＜/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！】Peter and Wendy - The Original Classic Edition【電子書籍】[ Barrie J ]

＜p＞Yes, there is darkness in Peter Pan - and in Alice, too, and in The Wizard of Oz - and certainly in Felix Saltons Bambi. These books, while written for young people, and which may be described as fantasy, have real plots and real characters who are not perfect. Peter Pan is selfish and stubborn as well as charming because children are not angels - they are little humans.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alice is highly critical of the adults in her dream world - adults who act very arbitrarily and often foolishly, as adults often do. Bambi is about the effects of human cruelty on animals; it deals with death and pain. One of the indications that these are good books, and not merely childrens books, is that they can be read at different stages of life with new layers of understanding. You dont have to outgrow them, and they are better than many a book written for adults.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The real Pan and Alice and Bambi may not be suitable for the very youngest children, but please dont deprive your children culturally by never giving them anything but Disneys cutesy interpretations.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For one thing, Barrie was a great writer who used words beautifully and had insightand feeling. Children deserve art as much as adults.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Peter is a boy that refuses to grow up. He lives in Neverland with his fairy, Tinkerbell, and the Lost Boys. He visits the nursery of Wendy, Michael, and John Darling to hear Wendys marvelous stories, and one night loses that pesky shadow. When he comes back to get it and tries to stick it back on, Wendy discovers this new boy in their nursery and soon learns about his amazing lifestyle. Entranced by thoughts of pirates, mermaids, and fairies, Wendy, Michael, and John embark on an amazing adventure into a world so unlike ours.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Its bittersweet, its insightful, its magical, its everything and more a child or an adult could ask for in a story. You wont want to leave Neverland, and some days, you may find yourself staring out the window, looking for that hint of light that is Tinkerbell or the boy effortlessly flying between trees and buildings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Without a doubt the greatest childrens story of all time, one that weve all heard, whether it was through a movie or a stage production. Experience the real magic though, and read Barries brilliant novel about the boy who wont grow up.＜/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。
