Now a mother herself, Howe finds herself re-examining this unreliable narrative with fresh sight. Sifting through her own history, the poet asks, how can a new generation transform a shattered inheritance? And what is lost and gained in the pursuit?＜/p＞ ＜p＞What unfolds is a personal Babel of voices and identities, and an examination of the contradictory legacies of colonialism, where poems ? past and present ? act as ‘foretokens’, omens of what lies ahead. A central spine of poems takes the molecular structure of DNA as its template: a ‘ladder of atoms beginning to twist’, down which the poet steps into the darkness of time. Objects of witness resurface to tell their own stories: fragile porcelains of past centuries transiting across continents; a picture calendar of old postcards from another world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞‘From the other side of ruin / we found safe passage’, Howe writes in these spectacular poems of emotional heft and quickening wit, their voice salvaged from the fragments of a former self. ＜em＞Foretokens＜/em＞ is a monumental work of survival and creation, turning over what is left behind as it strikes out towards astonishing new vistas.＜/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。

新しい本, 英語で予約する, 洋書Broken Road: From the Iron Gates to Mount Athos - Patrick Leigh Fermor (NYRB Classics) 【紙書籍】 9781590177792

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.

＜p＞In "Memories In An Empty Gaze", time and identity blur, merging into a space where the shadows of what has been lived intertwine with the traces of what remains to be discovered. 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. They are fragmented recollections, absent faces, and places that, though familiar, seem to drift into the fog of oblivion.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The empty gaze is not just a metaphor but a gateway to the incompleteness of human experience. It is the gaze that observes without seeing, that searches for meaning amid confusion, that finds answers in the void.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is not merely a narration of memories but a reflection on how human beings confront the emptiness that surrounds them: the emptiness of broken relationships, of moments that fade away, of lost identities. "Memories In An Empty Gaze" seeks to uncover what lies beyond what is no longer there, to find meaning in what dissolves, and perhaps to accept that, in absence, truth may also be found.＜/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 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。

【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！】Nostalgia in the Early Modern World Memory, Temporality, and Emotion【電子書籍】[ Hannah Skoda ]

＜p＞＜strong＞How can the concept of nostalgia illuminate the culturally specific ways in which societies understand the contested relationship between the past, present, and future?＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The word nostalgia was invented in the late seventeenth century to describe the debilitating effects of homesickness. Now widely defined as a sense of longing for a lost past, initially it was more closely linked with dislocation in space. By exploring some of its many textual, visual and musical manifestations in the tumultuous period between c. 1350 and 1800, this volume resists the assumption that nostalgia is a distinctive by-product of modernity. It also forges a fruitful link between three lively areas of current scholarly enquiry: memory, temporality, and emotion.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The contributors deploy nostalgia as a tool for investigating perceptions of the passage of time and historical change, unsettling experiences of migration and geographical displacement, and the connections between remembering and forgetting, affect and imagination. Ranging across Europe and the Atlantic world, they examine the moments, sites and communities in which it arose, alongside how it was used to express both criticism and regret about the religious, political, social and cultural upheavals that shaped the early modern world. They approach it as a complex mixed feeling that opens a new window into individual subjectivities and collective mentalities.＜/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！】Crossing Broadway Washington Heights and the Promise of New York City【電子書籍】[ Robert W. Snyder ]

＜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. The growing gap between rich and poor in contemporary New York puts new pressure on the Heights as more affluent newcomers move into buildings that once sustained generations of wage earners and the owners of small businesses.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Crossing Broadway＜/em＞ is based on historical research, reporting, and oral histories. Its narrative is powered by the stories of real people whose lives illuminate what was won and lost in northern Manhattan's journey from the past to the present. A tribute to a great American neighborhood, this book shows how residents learned to cross Broadwayーover the decades a boundary that has separated black and white, Jews and Irish, Dominican-born and American-bornーand make common cause in pursuit of one of the most precious rights: the right to make a home and build a better life in New York City.＜/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 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.

【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。

新しい本, フィクション, 文学, 英語で予約する, 洋書Phone Booth at the Edge of the World - Laura Imai Messina (Harry N. Abrams) 【紙書籍】 9781419754319

タイトル: Phone Booth at the Edge of the World著者: Laura Imai Messina出版社: Harry N. Abrams出版日: 2022年10月04日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。Laura Imai Messina's international bestselling novel is a story about grief, mourning, and the joy of survival, inspired by a real phone booth in Japan with its disconnected "wind" phone, a place of pilgrimage and solace since the 2011 tsunami. Simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming, The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World is the signpost pointing to the healing that can come after. When Yui loses both her mother and her daughter in the tsunami, she begins to mark the passage of time from that date onward: Everything is relative to March 11, 2011, the day the tsunami tore Japan apart and when grief took hold of her life. Yui struggles to continue on, alone with her pain. Then one day she hears about a man who has an old disused telephone booth in his garden. There, those who have lost loved ones find the strength to speak to them and begin to come to terms with their grief. As news of the phone booth spreads, people travel to it from miles around. Soon Yui makes her own pilgrimage to the phone booth. But once there she cannot bring herself to speak into the receiver. Instead she finds Takeshi, a bereaved husband whose own daughter has stopped talking in the wake of her mother's death.

新しい本, フィクション, 文学, 英語で予約する, 洋書Frequency of Magic - Anthony Joseph (Peepal Tree Press Ltd.) 【紙書籍】 9781845234553

タイトル: Frequency of Magic著者: Anthony Joseph出版社: Peepal Tree Press Ltd.出版日: 2020年03月12日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。Raphael is a would-be author, but there have been so many distractions to the novel he has been writing for forty-one years that many of the characters have lost patience and gone off to do their own thing...but somehow, miraculously, the novel seems to write itself. The Frequency of Magic traverses an array of lives connected to the village of Million Hills. There's the speculative imagination of Luke's travels through mythic landscapes pursued by his nemesis, the carnival figure of the Great Bandit. There's the psychological odysseys of the musician, a jazz saxophonist, and Ella, an actor, both long separated from Million Hills, working their ways across the USA and Europe. When the paths of these exiles cross, a love affair begins. Time in this richly ambitious novel is both circular and simultaneous, but moving, as Raphael ages, towards a sense of dissolution both of persons and of the culture of the village. Above all, there is Raphael's belief that in the making of his fiction, however messy and disobedient its materials, art can both challenge the destructive passage of time and make us see reality afresh.

【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＞One day you look in the mirror and don't quite recognize the person you see. It's not just the passage of time that worries you; it's that feeling that something has shifted inside you. Perhaps you've achieved many things, but you feel like something's missing. Maybe you've followed the path you thought was right, but now you're wondering if it was really the one you wanted. Or you simply realize that life has changed and that you need to change with it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The midlife crisis isn't an end; it's a crossroads. It's the moment when you begin to question whether the decisions you made were truly yours or if they were the result of other people's expectations.

It's when you realize that time moves faster than you imagined and that, if you don't take control now, you could spend the rest of your life waiting for the right moment to do so.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But this stage doesn't have to be a hard blow or a cause for anguish. In fact, it may be the best starting point for something much bigger. It's the perfect opportunity to rediscover who you are, to redefine your goals, to let go of what no longer serves you, and embrace what you truly want. It's not about returning to the past or regretting lost time, but rather about seizing the present with more clarity and determination than ever.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In these pages, you'll find a guide to navigate this stage with strength. You'll learn to accept your past without regret, to stop comparing yourself to others, to see success from a new perspective, and to find balance between your body and mind. You'll also discover how to rediscover your passions, how to confront the fear of change, and how to build a legacy that truly matters. This isn't a book of magic solutions; it's a book that will make you think, that will challenge you, and that will help you understand that the best is yet to come.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If you've ever felt trapped between what you were and what you could be, this book is for you. If you've ever felt like time is slipping away and you need to do something before it's too late, here you'll find the answers you've been looking for. And if you've ever doubted yourself, this book will remind you that it's never too late to start over, to build something new, and, above all, to truly live.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The best time to make a change is now. Don't let life continue to pass you by while you wait for the perfect sign, because that sign is already here. This is the time to take control, to rediscover yourself, and to prove to yourself that a crisis isn't the end of anything, but the beginning of something much better.＜/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 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。
