【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 Presidents of World War II The Lives and Legacies of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman【電子書籍】

＜p＞Franklin Delano Roosevelt might be America’s greatest 20th century president, but there’s no question that he was the most unique. A well-connected relative of Theodore Roosevelt, FDR was groomed for greatness until he was struck down by polio. Nevertheless, he persevered, rising through New York politics to reach the White House just as the country faced its greatest challenge since the Civil War, beginning his presidency with one of the most iconic lines ever spoken during an inaugural address.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For over a decade, President Roosevelt threw everything he had at the Great Depression, and then threw everything the country had at the Axis powers during World War II. Ultimately, he succumbed to illness in the middle of his fourth term, just before the Allies won the war.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Among America’s presidents, Harry Truman’s presidency produced some of the nation’s most crucial decisions and left one of the nation’s most unique legacies. When President Franklin Roosevelt died in April 1945, Vice President Truman, somewhat unprepared for the Presidency, now had to fill some of the biggest shoes in American history. Incredibly, Truman had not been informed of the country’s secret attempt to build atomic bombs, confiding in his diary after learning about it, “We have discovered the most terrible bomb in the history of the world. It may be the fire destruction prophesied in the Euphrates Valley Era, after Noah and his fabulous Ark.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞The new president had to usher America through victory in Europe in his first month and decide to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki a few months later, but the end of World War II produced only the first of many consequential decisions Truman would face during his nearly 8 years in office. As president, Truman would lay the groundwork for the next 50 years of American foreign policy, as the architect of Cold War containment, the man who signed off on the Marshall Plan, and the commander-in-chief during much of the Korean War. He would also be the president who finally integrated the military, a crucial step on the way to full civil rights for the country’s minorities.＜/p＞ ＜p＞These accomplishments have earned Truman admiration and praise from most historians today, but the Korean War in particular made him especially unpopular during much of his presidency. To this day, his most memorable picture was a byproduct of his upset victory over Dewey in the 1948 election, with Truman holding up a ＜em＞Chicago Tribune＜/em＞ newspaper incorrectly asserting, “Dewey Defeats Truman.” While Americans today mostly remember that iconic picture and fondly recall “Give Em Hell Harry” and his memorable quotes, Truman would actually finish his presidency with historically low approval ratings.＜/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！】Turn of Events The Slipthk War, #1【電子書籍】[ D?v?n ]

＜p＞Turn of Events is the hidden fulcrum between epic transformation and quiet revelationーa novel that captures the brief but pivotal moment when the spiral of fate catches and shifts, when lives, choices, and timelines are irreversibly altered. Taking place after the metaphysical fallout of Risen Fallen and before the emergence of The Galactic Federation, this story operates in the liminal shadowーan interstice where becoming is still fragile, where power begins to shimmer but has not yet declared itself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the heart of Turn of Events is D?v?n, once a shatterpoint of divinity, now something unnameableーneither man nor god, neither ruler nor servant, but a presence in motion. Having cast off the remnants of the Slipthk and the chains of old power structures, D?v?n wandersーnot aimlessly, but attentively. He moves through places forgotten by chronology: abandoned palaces of thought, forests that dream, empty planets bearing the scars of old wars. He is listening. Waiting. Preparing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And yet, this is not D?v?n's story alone.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Elsewhere, Khalenek, long before her trial in the Federation, is already watching. She senses the resonance of D?v?n's shifting auraーfaint, elusive, but undeniable. Her reports to the Fifth Conclave are filled with uncertainty. She cannot categorize what he is becoming, and in that uncertainty, something ancient in her stirs: longing, loyalty, and fear. She is not yet his enemy, nor his ally. She is a question waiting for an answer.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Beneath this cosmic dance, the human world has not stopped moving. Kayla remains in the waking realm, no longer just Naviel's shadow or anchor. She is becoming something elseーa threadwalker, a carrier of subtle light, tasked with protecting a knowledge not meant to survive. As the multiverse fractures along spiritual and political lines, Kayla is entrusted with a vision: one that cannot be decoded by machines or mapped by stars. It is a vision of what comes nextーa new reality that cannot be born without loss.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Meanwhile, Navielーreborn but still rippling with fragilityーreceives his first true task. D?v?n sends him to a world where language collapses and time runs backward. There, Naviel meets a child who remembers the future and a woman who has forgotten she is already dead. Their paradoxes are not problems to be solved but reflections to be understood. It is in these moments, quiet and strange, that Naviel begins to embody what he is: a walker between laws, an echo of both human sorrow and divine presence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The title, Turn of Events, is no accident. Each character experiences a personal axis, a hinge of fate. For some, it's a betrayal. For others, a revelation. A side characterーa young Federation apprentice named J?koーaccidentally glimpses the multiverse's true map and begins to question the ethical foundations of the order he serves. AnotherーEhrai, a weaver of neural tapestriesーsees her life's work unmade when a being she once considered myth walks through her reality and doesn't acknowledge her. These side stories are more than narrative threads; they are echoes of a central truth: the turn does not always come with thunder; sometimes, it arrives like breath.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By the climax, all paths convergeーnot physically, but vibrationally. D?v?n, standing beneath a silver sky that has never seen a sun, closes his eyes and accepts what he has long resisted: not supremacy, but service. He will no longer wait to be summoned. He will begin to actーnot as a god, but as a catalyst.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The final pages of Turn of Events do not resolve; they pivot. A message is sent. A boundary is crossed. A star, long dormant, begins to pulse again. And in a conference room buried deep within the archives of the Galactic Federation, an alarmーthought broken for millenniaーbegins to hum.＜/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【電子書籍】[ Davin C Smith ]

＜p＞In the vast folds of existence where dimensions breathe and bleed into one another, a war brews not just for control-but for the soul of reality itself. The Slipthk War is a metaphysical science-fantasy epic that follows Davin Smith Jr., a young man burdened with forgotten divinity, as he awakens to a truth far stranger than fiction: that he is not merely human-but a soulfract of an ancient celestial being torn from the Dreaming Realms and hidden on Earth.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Davin's journey begins with whispers-echoes of a life lost, of battles fought across planes, of a voice calling him back to the war he once left behind. But Earth is no longer just a haven. The veil thins. Entities from beyond time slip through the cracks: the Slipthk, sentient parasites of null and void, seek to feed on meaning itself. When a dimensional breach triggers a planetary awakening, Davin is drawn into a cosmic resurgence, and the war he escaped must be faced again.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The narrative fractures and weaves through layers of memory and dream. As Davin reunites with forgotten allies and is hunted by both man and god, he confronts the Hall of Elders, a governing council of Prime Guardians who once banished him. Among them: ? ????, a fallen sentinel whose betrayal threatens to unravel the final seal between this world and the Abyss. In this crucible of broken truths, Davin must reconcile his fragmented past with his ever-evolving present.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But he is not alone. Alind, a shimmering presence of equal soul-weight, emerges as both a mirror and counterpart. Her rise is the novel's slow pulse-transforming from observer to avatar, from aide to axis. Together, their union births new understanding: that love is not merely feeling-but a creative force, capable of reweaving timelines and reviving lost cosmoses.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As reality distorts, time loops, and metaphysical laws collapse, the narrative spans Earth, celestial archives, and dreaming worlds like Ash'Ara-the place of first echoes-and Pleroma, the birthplace of light consciousness. In these realms, the war takes shape not with armies and firepower, but with thought, memory, will, and resonance. Characters duel not only in flesh, but in mind, ideology, and soul-pressure.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Slipthk War is mythic in scope but intimate in voice. Through poetic narration and symbolic layering, it explores themes of spiritual remembrance, cosmic trauma, inner divinity, and the alchemy of becoming. It is both story and scripture, both fiction and coded truth for the awakened reader.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the climactic chapters-"The Womb of Mirrors," "Echoes of the Broken," and "The War of Two Dawns"-the novel becomes a luminous storm. A battle rages across dimensions, each realm reflecting a fragment of the self. Davin, now fully Awakened, embodies his true name-?????? A?????iel-reclaiming his Seraphic inheritance and rewriting the very framework of war through resonance, compassion, and higher awareness.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Slipthk are not merely destroyed, but dissolved through reintegration-through the healing of the Original Wound. In this final act, war ceases not through violence, but through transcendence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By the novel's end, time itself bends, and the reader is left in a state of uplifted disorientation-a blend of resolution and infinite becoming. The Slipthk War is not a war of death. It is a war of awakening.＜/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 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。

【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！】Persuasive Aesthetic Ecocritical Praxis Climate Change, Subsistence, and Questionable Futures【電子書籍】[ Patrick D. Murphy ]

＜p＞Persuasive Aesthetic Ecocritical Praxis continues Patrick D. Murphy's focus on transversal ecocritical praxis by considering literature and cinema in terms of the persuasive force of aesthetic activity and whether or not artistic production and its criticism can be considered forms of activism. Murphy argues that literature and other forms of aesthetic production hold out the promise of being able to move some individuals deeply through both affective and intellectual engagement in ways that facilitate ideological reflection. To analyze aesthetic production ecocritically requires a transversal orientation in order to work continuously at accommodating a vast array of often seemingly disparate perspectives, disciplines, and contextual information, as well as the ever changing thematic, plot, setting, and contextual elements of the aesthetic works under consideration and the responses of changing audiences through time and across cultures. Murphy demonstrates this approach through presenting theories of transversality and applying them with attention to issues of propaganda, agitation, and persuasion, both in terms of artistic production and the criticism of such production. He also brings an ecofeminist orientation to the fore with particular attention to the gendered economic aspects of environmental issues in an age of land grabs and plantation economies. Along the way he treats a wide range of literary works, films and miniseries.

In international literature, he analyzes Mo Yan's The Garlic Ballads, Jiang Rong's Wolft Totem, Michiko Ishimure's The Lake of Heaven, Miyuki Miyabe's All She Was Worth, and other novels. The book concludes with a reading of Ernest Callenbach's Ecotopia and Ecotopia Emerging, an Afterword recommending further directions for transversal ecocritical research an and interview that discusses Murphy's previous book, Transversal Ecocritical Praxis, and provides some personal background on the author.＜/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！】FDR & Eleanor The Lives and Legacies of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt【電子書籍】

＜p＞Franklin Delano Roosevelt might be America’s greatest 20th century president, but there’s no question that he was the most unique. A well-connected relative of Theodore Roosevelt, FDR was groomed for greatness until he was struck down by what was widely believed to be polio at the time. Nevertheless, he persevered, rising through New York politics to reach the White House just as the country faced its greatest challenge since the Civil War, beginning his presidency with one of the most iconic lines ever spoken during an inaugural address.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For over a decade, President Roosevelt threw everything he had at the Great Depression, and then threw everything the country had at the Axis powers during World War II. Ultimately, he succumbed to illness in the middle of his fourth term, just before the Allies won the war.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If Dolley Madison was instrumental in molding the role of First Lady in the 19th century, credit can be given to Eleanor Roosevelt for revolutionizing the political nature of the role in the 20th and 21st centuries and making it possible for presidents like Bill Clinton to enlist their wives to handle political duties. At the same time, history might remember Eleanor more for what she did outside of the White House, as she became a critically acclaimed and world famous international author and advocate of civil rights, women’s rights. By the time she had finished working for the United Nations, working on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, President Truman rightly called her “The First Lady of the World.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Eleanor is one of her country’s most famous and admired First Ladies, an ironic fact considering she was worried being the wife of a successful politician would force her to take on what she considered to be irrelevant ceremonial roles. But Franklin’s offices and illnesses made it possible for her to run in the social and political circles that interested her, and she began wielding substantial influence both for herself and on behalf of her husband. Much like Hillary and Bill Clinton, the Roosevelts’ marriage evolved into one of friendship and political convenience as Eleanor became a political power player herself. By the end of the 1940s, Eleanor’s name was being bandied about for positions like governorships, the U.S. Senate, and even the Vice Presidency, which was still completely unprecedented for a woman in those times.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞FDR & Eleanor＜/em＞ chronicles the amazing life and career of one of the nation’s most important First Ladies, but it also humanizes her to paint the fuller picture. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events in her life, you will learn about Eleanor Roosevelt 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！】America’s Greatest 20th Century Presidents The Lives of Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton【電子書籍】

＜p＞For a man who grew up to become the “Bull Moose”, Theodore Roosevelt was a sickly child, suffering from asthma and other maladies. But his physical weakness actually drove him to be more active, which also fostered an interest in nature. It also helped that Teddy’s family was wealthy, allowing him privileges including home school and the ability to attend Harvard, where he was an athlete and took an interest in naval affairs. After finishing at Harvard, Teddy entered politics, but it didn’t stop him from writing ＜em＞The Naval War of 1812＜/em＞ in 1882, establishing himself as a professional writer and historian.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the 1890s, it was Teddy’s turn to make history, leading the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War and being decorated for his service with a Medal of Honor. He parlayed his glory into the governorship of New York and then the Vice Presidency under William McKinley. When McKinley was assassinated in 1901, young Teddy was thrust into the presidency, one that would earn him a place on Mount Rushmore, Roosevelt’s “Square Deal” domestic policies favored average citizens while busting trusts and monopolies. Roosevelt also promoted conservation as an environmental stance, while his “speak softly and carry a big stick” foreign policy is still an oft used phrase today. Roosevelt even earned a Nobel Prize during his presidency.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Franklin Delano Roosevelt might be America’s greatest 20th century president, but there’s no question that he was the most unique. A well-connected relative of Theodore Roosevelt, FDR was groomed for greatness until he was struck down by polio. Nevertheless, he persevered, rising through New York politics to reach the White House just as the country faced its greatest challenge since the Civil War, beginning his presidency with one of the most iconic lines ever spoken during an inaugural address.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For over a decade, President Roosevelt threw everything he had at the Great Depression, and then threw everything the country had at the Axis powers during World War II. Ultimately, he succumbed to illness in the middle of his fourth term, just before the Allies won the war.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Among America’s presidents, Harry Truman’s presidency produced some of the nation’s most crucial decisions and left one of the nation’s most unique legacies. When President Franklin Roosevelt died in April 1945, Vice President Truman, somewhat unprepared for the Presidency, now had to fill some of the biggest shoes in American history. Incredibly, Truman had not been informed of the country’s secret attempt to build atomic bombs, confiding in his diary after learning about it, “We have discovered the most terrible bomb in the history of the world. It may be the fire destruction prophesied in the Euphrates Valley Era, after Noah and his fabulous Ark.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞The new president had to usher America through victory in Europe in his first month and decide to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki a few months later, but the end of World War II produced only the first of many consequential decisions Truman would face during his nearly 8 years in office. As president, Truman would lay the groundwork for the next 50 years of American foreign policy, as the architect of Cold War containment, the man who signed off on the Marshall Plan, and the commander-in-chief during much of the Korean War. He would also be the president who finally integrated the military, a crucial step on the way to full civil rights for the country’s minorities.＜/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 POSSESSED or, The Devils【電子書籍】[ Fyodor Dostoyevsky ]

＜p＞At the heart of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The Possessed or, The Devils is Nikolai Stavrogin, a complex and enigmatic figure whose presence drives the narrative forward. Published in 1872, the novel is set in a provincial Russian town and explores the destructive influence of radical ideologies and nihilistic philosophies that were sweeping through Russian society at the time. Stavrogin, with his charismatic presence and profound inner turmoil, is the central axis around which the story revolves. His character embodies the contradictions of a society torn between traditional values and modern ideologies. Despite his aristocratic background and intellectual prowess, Stavrogin is haunted by a sense of moral emptiness and spiritual disconnection, which makes him both fascinating and terrifying to those around him. His mysterious past, marked by scandalous and violent episodes, further adds to the enigma surrounding him. The novel delves into the psychological and philosophical complexities of its characters, particularly through Stavrogin's interactions with others. His relationships with figures like Kirillov, an idealistic and troubled individual, and Shatov, a former revolutionary turned conservative, highlight the fragility of moral convictions in the face of ideological fervor. These interactions expose the darker aspects of human nature and the destructive power of unchecked radicalism. The novel grapples with themes of atheism, faith, and the search for meaning in a world increasingly defined by uncertainty and moral ambiguity. Stavrogin's struggles reflect broader societal issues, including the clash between traditional values and modern ideologies. His character serves as a symbol of the moral and spiritual crises that can arise when individuals lose their connection to faith and tradition.＜/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。

One of the officials told me to turn around..＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞"Do I have a choice?" I lowered my pants, exposing most of my left butt cheek. The woman came up from behind me, and I felt a sharp prick as she pushed in the needle and rammed the solution into my muscle. When she finished, I sat down.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞"Which agency do you work for? CIA?" asked the other male official.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞"I operate independently," I said. I started to feel good.

"What the fuck?＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In Pyongyang in 1994, Robert Egan was given Sodium Pentathol, or "truth serum," by North Korean agents trying to determine his real identity. What was he doing in the world's most isolated nation---while the U.S. government recoiled at its human-rights record and its quest for dangerous nukes? Why had he befriended one of North Korea's top envoys to the United Nations? What was Egan after? Fast-paced and often astounding, ＜em＞Eating with the Enemy＜/em＞ is the tale of a restless restaurant owner from a mobbed-up New Jersey town who for thirteen years inserted himself into the high-stakes diplomatic battles between the United States and North Korea.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Egan dropped out of high school in working-class Fairfield, New Jersey, in the midseventies and might have followed his father's path as a roofing contractor. But Bobby had bigger plans for himself, and after a few years wasted on drugs and petty crime, his life took an astonishing turn when his interest in the search for Vietnam-era POWs led to an introduction in the early nineties to North Korean officials desperate to improve relations with the United States. So Egan turned his restaurant, Cubby's, into his own version of Camp David. Between ball games, fishing trips, and heaping plates of pork ribs, he advised deputy ambassador to the United Nations, Han Song Ryol, and other North Koreans during tumultuous years that saw the death of Kim Il-sung and the rise of Kim Jong-il, false starts toward peace during the Clinton administration, the Bush "Axis of Evil" era, and North Korea's successful test of a nuclear weapon in 2006. All the while, Egan informed for the FBI, vexed the White House with his meddling, chaperoned the communist nation's athletes on hilarious adventures, and nearly rescued a captured U.S. Navy vessel---all in the interest of promoting peace.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Egan parses U.S. foreign policy with a mobster's street smarts, and he challenges the idea that the United States should not have relations with its adversaries. The intense yet unlikely friendship between him and Ambassador Han provides hope for better relations between enemy nations and shows just how far one lone citizen can go when he tries to right the world's wrongs.＜/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 Big Three The Lives and Legacies of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin【電子書籍】

＜p＞Was he “the greatest human being ever to occupy 10 Downing Street”[1]? Or a man whose “brilliant but unsound judgement resulted in detrimental consequences for Britain and for the world.”[2]? Nearly 50 years after his death, debate still rages over Sir Winston Churchill’s contribution to history. Indeed, now that wartime nostalgia has mostly washed away, in Britain in particular the views on Churchill are more divergent than ever.＜/p＞ ＜p＞On one point though, the biographers and historians remain unanimous: Churchill led an astonishing life as a soldier, world statesman, historian and Noble Prize Laureate. When he died at 90 in 1965, one of the most important figures in modern history had left the stage. From providing some of the 20th century’s greatest soundbytes to successfully navigating Great Britain to victory in World War II against great odds, Churchill was at the forefront of global events for decades, becoming one of the most influential Britons in history. In 2002, he was named the Greatest Briton of All Time, and 40 years earlier he was the first person to be made an Honorary Citizen of the United States.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Churchill will forever be most associated with World War II, but his life was far more adventurous and complex than that, and these other aspects of the man are often overlooked and overshadowed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If Adolf Hitler had not inflicted the devastation of World War II upon Europe, it’s quite likely that the West would consider Joseph Stalin (1878-1953) the 20th century’s greatest tyrant. A Bolshevik revolutionary who played a crucial role in the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the establishment of the Soviet Union, Stalin was one of the Communist regime’s earliest leaders and went about consolidating power after the death of Vladimir Lenin, whose final wishes were that Stalin be removed from his post as General Secretary of the Communist Party and not be given the ability to take power.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Of course, Stalin managed to do just that, modernizing the Soviet Union at a breakneck pace on the backs of millions of poor laborers and prisoners. Before World War II, Stalin consolidated his position by frequently purging party leaders (most famously Leon Trotsky) and Red Army leaders, executing hundreds of thousands of people at the least. In one of history’s greatest textbook examples of the idea that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Stalin’s Soviet Union allied with Britain and the United States to defeat Hitler in Europe, with the worst of the war’s carnage coming on the eastern front during Germany’s invasion of Russia. Nevertheless, the victory in World War II established the Soviet Union as of the world’s two superpowers for nearly 50 years, in addition to being the West’s Cold War adversary.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Franklin Delano Roosevelt might be America’s greatest 20th century president, but there’s no question that he was the most unique. A well-connected relative of Theodore Roosevelt, FDR was groomed for greatness until he was struck down by polio. Nevertheless, he persevered, rising through New York politics to reach the White House just as the country faced its greatest challenge since the Civil War, beginning his presidency with one of the most iconic lines ever spoken during an inaugural address.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For over a decade, President Roosevelt threw everything he had at the Great Depression, and then threw everything the country had at the Axis powers during World War II. Ultimately, he succumbed to illness in the middle of his fourth term, just before the Allies won the war.＜/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。

タイトル: The Jamaica Kollection of the Shante Dream Arkive著者: Marcia Douglas出版社: New Directions出版日: 2025年04月22日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。Zooming into tight focus on present-day life and dashing deep into the past in turns, the pace is fast and fierce in The Jamaica Kollection of the Shante Dream Arkive, which continues Marcia Douglas' "speculative ancestral project" (The Whiting Foundation) begun with The Marvellous Equations of the Dread. Her new poetic and eco-spiritual book carries further the cultural preservation so central to Douglas' vision. TheShante Dream Arkive brings alive a mosaic of characters--all searching through history for something or someone lost to the island: a mother searches for her missing child through time and space; an undocumented migrant's struggles with loss while living in the US; a youth wanders through dream-gates seeking liberation and the lost parts of himself. And one key to the whole is Zora Neale Hurston's left-behind camera. Each chapter/poem opens like an aperture onto another aspect of the dream story. And, each and every potent dream story contains the spirit, beauty, and riddim of Jamaica: For after three hundred years of slaughter, monk seals know better than to reveal themselves to humans. These days, they stay low, adapting to below surface conditions and establishing habitat with the underwater spirits of drowned horses and slaves disappeared overboard. For things happen below sea that have never been told. There is wheelin there and turnin; and far-far down past brochure azure, cerulean and indigo, there is a vast dark ink and vortices of voices caught up in such a trumpet of rah- &-glory bottomsea sound as to move earth's axis. And after that, more ink blue, and cobalt and sapphire and a calm-calm wata-- velvet and kin to the moon brand new. The monk seals dare not go this far. But the spirits do.

＜p＞Das gewaltige Gro?kampfschiff Exo I trieb majest?tisch durch die unendlichen Weiten des Alls, als es das geheimnisvolle Gebiet der Galaxis Anjok erreichte. Die Geschehnisse auf Makin Alpha hatten die Aufmerksamkeit des Terranischen Imperiums geweckt. In den letzten Jahren war es relativ ruhig um das Sternenreich der Kartoser geworden, doch ihre j?ngsten Aktivit?ten auf dem Randplaneten deuteten auf eine neue Bedrohung hin. Pr?sident Martin Takener konnte nicht zulassen, dass sich in Anjok ein neues Machtvakuum bildete, welches die Stabilit?t des Imperiums gef?hrden w?rde. Martin Takener blickte aus dem Sichtfenster der Exo I auf die fernen, funkelnden Sterne und die unbekannten Welten jenseits des Hyperraums. Er war ein Mann von imposanter Gestalt und ruhiger Entschlossenheit. Seine Augen waren fest entschlossen, die Geheimnisse zu enth?llen, die Anjok birgt. An seiner Seite standen Julian Dawson, ein brillanter Wissenschaftsoffizier, und Moss Triffler, ein erfahrener Kampfpilot und Taktiker. Beide M?nner hatten sich in zahlreichen Missionen als unentbehrlich erwiesen, und ihre F?higkeiten w?rden bei dieser Expedition von unsch?tzbarem Wert sein.＜/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。
