Although suspiciously regarded by their neighbors as "that hippie couple" because of their well-educated, urban background, Howard and Alice believe they have found a source of emotional strength in the farm, he tending the barn while Alice works as a nurse in the local elementary school. But their peaceful life is shattered one day when a neighbor's two-year-old daughter drowns in the Goodwins' pond while under Alice's care.

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.

Peter and Wendy - The Original Classic Edition【電子書籍】[ Barrie J ]

【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。

The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree【電子書籍】[ Ms Shokoofeh Azar ]

【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 Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree【電子書籍】[ Ms Shokoofeh Azar ]

<p><strong>*Shortlisted for the International 2020 Booker Prize*</strong></p> <p><strong>*Shortlisted for the Stella Prize 2018*</strong></p> <p><strong>*Shortlisted for TheUniversity of Queensland Fiction Book Award 2018*</strong></p> <p><strong>*Shortlisted for the 2020 Adelaide Festival Awards for Literature*</strong></p> <p><strong>*Longlisted for the US National Book Award 2020*</strong></p> <p><strong>*Longlisted for the PEN America Literary Awards 2021: PEN Translation Prize*</strong></p> <p>Shokoofeh is the only Austalian author to be shortlisted for the International Booker Prize. <em>The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree</em> is an extraordinarily powerful and evocative literary novel that re-imagines the 1979 Islamic revolution and its aftermath.</p> <p>This richly-imagined novel is narrated by the ghost of Bahar, a thirteen-year-old girl, whose family is compelled to flee their home in Tehran for a new life in a small village. They hope to preserve their intellectual freedom and their lives, but soon find themselves caught up in the post-revolutionary chaos that sweeps across their ancient land and its people.</p> <p>Written in the lyrical magical realism style of classical Persian story-telling, <em>The Enlightenment of the Greengage</em> Tree speaks of the power of imagination when confronted with cruelty, and of our human need to make sense of trauma through the ritual of storytelling itself. Portentous dragonflies, forest jinns and mermaids suffuse the narrative that stand in stark contrast to the material circumstances that alter the character's lives. Through her unforgettable characters, Azar weaves a timely and timeless story that juxtaposes the beauty of an ancient, vibrant culture with the brutality of an oppressive political regime.</p> <p>**Included in The *Guardian'*s <em>'<em>Elena Ferrante names her 40 favourite books by female authors' <a href="www.theguardian.com/books/2020%20ov/21/elena-ferrante-names-her-40-favourite-books-by-female-authors#_=_">article</a>.</em></em></p> <p><strong>'An extremely strong and meaningful story: an entry into a world far removed from our English language horizons.' - Lucie Campos, International Booker Prize Judge</strong></p> <p><strong><em>'The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree</em> is a fantastical tale set in post-revolutionary Iran that concentrates on a family's tragedies, loves, and losses. It's a work of magical realism with plenty to unpack...Nods to poetry and literature make the parables of <em>The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree</em> engaging, tantalizing, and memorable.' - <em>Foreword Reviews</em></strong></p> <p><strong>'From a people smuggler's boat to the shortlist for the Stella Prize' <em>-</em> <em><a href="www.smh.com.au/entertainment/books/from-a-people-smugglers-boat-to-the-shortlist-for-the-stella-prize-20180308-h0x770.html">Sydney Morning Herald</a></em></strong></p> <p><strong>'If ever there was a book that needs to be read more than once, this is it.' <em>-</em> <em><a href="www.artshub.com.au%20ews-article%20eviews/writing-and-publishing/erich-mayer/the-enlightenment-of-the-greengage-tree-by-shokoofeh-azar-254182">ArtsHub</a></em></strong></p> <p><strong>'This novel is an exciting development in Australian publishing.' <em>-</em> <em><a href="anzlitlovers.com/">ANZ LitLovers LitBlog</a></em></strong></p> <p><strong>'Living in the 21st Century is not for the faint hearted, so it's no surprise that writers of literary fiction are looking clear-eyed at schisms of times past and the capacity of humans for brutality. Stylistically similar to Eka Kurniawan's acclaimed <em>Beauty is a Wound</em>, this novel is set in the aftermath of Iran's Islamic Revolution of 1979. Many scenes, most memorably Azar's handling of Beeta's fate, blend heavy darkness with allegorical flights of imagination, marking the author as an assured fabulist. She brings to colourful life an extended family replete with beauty, humour, and tragedy" <em>-</em> <em>WritingWA</em></strong></p> <p><strong>'Incredible...I have never read such a voice before. It is playful, poetic, and deeply melancholy at the same time. Azar writes about the blunt force of Iranian history with the lightness of a feather's touch. Transcedental, brilliant and beautiful.' -</strong> <strong>Alice Pung</strong></p> <p><strong>'This is Azar's first novel to be translated into English and will appeal to readers of historical fiction and magic realism. It recalls <em>The Lovely Bones,</em> which utilises the perspective of an omniscient child narrator to great effect, and Life of Pi, which adroitly obscures fact with fiction.' - Sonia Nair, Books + Publishing</strong></p> <p>'This is magic realism flipped. The magical world is shot through with realism, rather than vice versa...The plot is intricate. It's not until the fifth chapter that we have a hint of the existential catastrophe the narrator is enduring...The writing is ravishing: shimmeringly poetic. Even as the story progresses and the mood darkens, the narrator's meticulous descriptions of the flowers, birds, animals and landscapes around her hold beauty as close as a talisman.' Miriam Cosic, writer and critic, <em>The Weekend Australian Book Reviews</em></p> <p><strong>'This book is alive...it speaks to us about the human condition and about how we live our lives in the most profound, beautiful, eloquent, complex, messy at times, chaotic, traumatic, extraordinary fashion - and in that sense, it is a real book of life. A true book that affirms life through some of the most extraordinary suffering that you can experience.' - Professor Baden Offord, Curtin Centre for Human Rights</strong></p> <p><strong>'I was swept away by [this book]. In fact it reminded me of what a book can be - how it can devastate you and console you simultaneously - and I loved the thread of philosophical questioning throughout. I couldn't start another book afterwards, for days. I had to think, to let it all sink in.' - Dani Powell, Artistic Director, NT Writers' Festival</strong></p> <p><strong>'Thisis a fiercely clever work of fiction [...] Azar's prose is exuberant.' - <em>NewStatesman</em></strong></p> <p><strong>'With <em>TheEnlightenment of the Greengage Tree</em>, Azar examines life in post-revolutionIran in this stunning novel filled with magical realism and Persian folklore.' - KendraWinchester, <em>BookRiot</em></strong></p> <p><strong>'Azar'snarrative exudes fairy tale charm driven by moments of deep connection thatultimately celebrate human and humane bonds unbroken even in death.' - TerryHong, <em>Booklist</em> (Starred Review)</strong></p> <p>'Engaging,tantalizing, and memorable.' - <strong>Tanisha Rule, <em>Foreword Reviews</em></strong></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 tide has turned against the royals...</p> <p>Princess Dawn, along with her cousins Evan and Ian, as well as her friends Mizu and Alan, experienced a narrow victory over Magica this past summer. And though it is now early autumn, the battle is heating up.</p> <p>The shattered body of demon, Ralston Radburn, is causing chaos all over Fadreama. These little fragments of evil latch onto the darkness in the hearts of both humans and demons, giving them the power to live out their most evil desires. Dawn and her friends begin the immense task of seeking out these fragments and purifying them, but find more than a few obstacles in their way.</p> <p>Not only is Dawn looking for fragments, but so is the dark Goddess of Hate sorceress, Magica. She has dispatched her Shadow Senshi to gather Fragments of Cardew, so that she may use them to create the ultimate warrior. Of course there is Ralston Radburn himself, skulking about in the body of Alice's cousin, Lance. The foul scheme he is concocting may be enough to outweigh all of Magica's ambitions.</p> <p>The battle over fragments suddenly takes on a new dimension, when the most unexpected thing happens; the fragments develop their own consciousness! Words are whispered on the wind, when a dark cloud hovers over Devona. The words say, 'revolution.' Events have been set into motion that cannot be halted. Fadreama sits on the eve of change. At such a precarious time, there is only one thing left to do; try.</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>"A gripping and grisly gothic tale" of Alice Nutter and the 17th century Pendle witch hunt by the Whitbread Award-winning author of <em>The Passion</em> ( <em>The Guardian</em>, UK).</strong><br /> <em>England, 1612.</em> Less than a decade after the infamous Gunpowder Plot nearly took his life, King James I is paranoid about conspirators and obsessed with heresy.

Two of their coven have already been imprisoned for witchcraft and are awaiting trial, but those who remain are vouched for by the wealthy and respected Alice Nutter. Shrouded in mystery and gifted with eternally youthful beauty, Alice is established in Lancashire society and insulated by her fortune.

【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 Wounded Woman Hope and Healing for Those Who Hurt【電子書籍】[ Pam Vredevelt ]

<p><strong>Hope and Healing Are at Hand</strong></p> <p>Extraordinary emotional pain cries out for something more than a Band-Aid, a pat on the shoulder, or a greeting card clich?. When the wounds go deep, real help, honest encouragement, and tangible healing may be hard to locate. But it is there to find, and the search is worth the effort. Compassionate and experienced counselors Dr. Steve Stephens and Pam Vredevelt, LPC, have walked alongside women in pain for yearsーthey’ve heard the stories, seen the tears, felt the pain, and entered into the devastation. They’ve also seen how wounded women can step out of darkness into hope, regain their feet, restart their lives, recover their energy, and even reclaim their joy. Real-life stories and proven, practical counsel serve as powerful tools to help you recover from past and present wounds, moving you into a new season of productive living.</p> <p><strong>Hope Is Here</strong></p> <p>“My pain is too deep for a Band-Aid.”</p> <p>“Will this heartache ever end?”</p> <p>“Why me?”</p> <p>Today is your day…a fresh season of living has arrived.</p> <p>Coming alongside as faithful friends, Dr. Steve Stephens and Pam Vredevelt meet you in the depths of your circumstances and uncover the pathway to healing. They offer an opportunity to regain your feet, restart your life, recover your energy, and reclaim your joy.</p> <p>These real-life testimonies and proven, practical counsel will guide you toward complete recovery and inspire you to press forward in newfound strengthーnot in spite of your wounds, but <em>because</em> of them.</p> <p>“I believe this is one of the most important books ever written for women. Every page is filled with nurturing wisdom and refreshing hope. At last, for every wounded woman, there is a pathway out of the hurt and pain.”<br /> **<em>-Alice Gray, author of Treasures for Women Who Hope, coauthor of The Worn Out Woman and The Walk Out Woman</em></p> <p>Story Behind the Book**</p> <p>The authors are licensed therapists who see an enormous number of women struggling with the same basic issue: wounds that result from living in an imperfect world with imperfect people. “Some are great at hiding their wounds,” they say. “Others are so overwhelmed by them that they are unable to recover and bounce back. We consistently meet women with incredible potential who are stuck in emotional pain. Unable to move forward, their wounds block them from becoming all they can be. We want to help them work through the process of letting go of this pain and progress in healing. The abundant life Jesus promises will be theirs!”</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><em><em><em>All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called</em> Huckleberry Finn</em>. It's the best book we've had.</em> - Ernest Hemingway**</p> <p>A nineteenth-century boy from a Mississippi River town recounts his adventures as he travels down the river with a runaway slave, encountering a family involved in a feud, two scoundrels pretending to be royalty, and Tom Sawyer's aunt who mistakes him for Tom.</p> <p>In this unforgettable adventure for all ages, Twain delves into issues such as racism, friendship, war, religion, and freedom with an uncanny combination of lightheartedness and gravitas.</p> <p>This was the first major American novel to be written in the vernacular, a dark and funny satire that exposes the bigotry and hypocrisy of provincial America during Mark Twain's lifetime. A rite of passage for ever young reader, this book continues to delight readers around the world and remains as fresh and as funny as ever.</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。
