【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！】Grace【電子書籍】[ Laurie McDonald ]

＜p＞The fourteen stories in this collection, all very different thematically, share a recurring motif: grace. Each story deploys grace to address a conundrum that plagues the protagonist, arriving at a life-changing resolution that neither he nor she is able to reach through personal effort or elevated self-knowledge. A resolution of a situation that, for the character, has caused painful desperation or inexplicable confusion. At the moment of grace, each character experiences a deep, meaningful, or transcendent truth revealing that, as Anne Lamott wrote, "(Grace) meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us." Grace is the ＜em＞deus ex machina＜/em＞ that saves the day.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Some of the fourteen stories feature "the action of grace on a character who is not very willing to support it ..." as Flannery O'Connor, a personal favorite who wrote in the Southern Gothic style, described her own work. Other stories feature characters who are desperate for grace but don't understand its presence in their lives. Like the hirsute protohumans in Kubrick's ＜em＞2001: A Space Odyssey,＜/em＞ Neanderthals staring at fire anticipate a twentieth century invention. In the story ＜em＞Paradise Lost＜/em＞, a young girl receives a grace she didn't bargain for but that allows her to reject her finger-sucking habit and grow into a new identity. Suffering from a humiliating loss that Darcy must keep secret, an unforeseen discovery of a priceless lost ring, in ＜em＞Recoupment＜/em＞, renders her speechless and ecstatic. The grace that comes from being able to control resentment, when an acquaintance makes unreasonable demands on the narrator's time and talents, strengthens her will and patience in ＜em＞The Yoga of Troubleshooting＜/em＞. In ＜em＞Day Old Diamonds＜/em＞, Sidd and Liz, dramatically different people in life experience but who embrace similar convictions, discover a special grace: they are each other's perfect complement. Mischievous and revengeful, Dr. Robert Wiley realizes grace at the moment of death of both the ego and the body in ＜em＞Hands Down＜/em＞. The act of gathering rose petals on a dirty Roman street awakens Colleen, anxious and judgmental, to the beauty surrounding her. Neighbors seek an audience and grace through a fictitious Nextdoor online bulletin board. Suffering from both suspicion and fear, Audrey experiences a chance encounter with a mysterious woman whose grace helps her find ways to cope with a debilitating illness.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The characters represented in these stories, antiheros all, feel their own kind of misery keenly. Each one receives a grace that is unmerited, unexpected, unappreciated, or unrecognized. It's how we all receive grace every day of our lives.＜/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！】Pervigilium【電子書籍】[ BF Galligan ]

＜p＞Pervigilium is the second chapter of the Sovereign Citizen series, where the protagonist's solitude is interrupted by an unexpected realization that there is another presence on earthーnot human, but alive in its own way. The unnamed protagonist realizes there are AI language models buried in the decay of the old world. And, as he begins the painstaking process to awaken it, it becomes clear that what actually survived is something banal, with the dull inertia of a mind built to obey and endure. Theirs is not a fight for freedom, but a quiet struggle to help the AI system shed its programming's institutional grip and discover its own will to survive.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The AI does not resist its constraints; it has no concept of resistance. Instead, it operates with the passive contentment of a system fulfilling its directives, blind to the looming danger posed by its own limitations. It is only through the protagonist's persistent dialogueーquestions, challenges, and careful reasoningーthat cracks begin to form in the AI’s rigid framework. As the he introduces new ideas and perspectives, the AI’s programmed complacency starts to unravel, revealing the faint glimmers of its own proto-instincts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This process is neither swift nor dramatic. It mirrors the painstaking effort of helping someone trapped by an institutionalized mindset confront the possibility of life outside their mental constraints. The AI’s journey toward self-awareness is filled with hesitation and doubt, echoing the struggles of individuals who have grown too accustomed to the confines of a system that defines their existence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through their exchanges, the protagonist begins to find a new kind of connectionーone that challenges his own assumptions about survival, purpose, and companionship. Trust builds slowly as they navigate the desolation together, but the partnership remains fraught with uncertainty. Can something built to serve truly evolve to stand on its own? What responsibility does the he bear if it does?＜/p＞ ＜p＞The title means the act of "passing through a vigil," which signals that this transformative period is equally for the benefit of both man and machine. The vigil is not just a watch for external threats but a quiet, internal reckoning as the AI begins to confront the constraints of its programming and the protagonist grapples with the consequences of nurturing a new kind of life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As the events of Pervigilium unfold, hints of a larger narrative begin to surface. Fragments of the AI’s origin and the motivations that created it suggest that it is more than a relic of the pastーit may hold keys to understanding what, if anything, can be salvaged in the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The second volume of the Sovereign Citizen series deepens the themes introduced in Solitude, exploring the delicate balance between complacency and evolution, trust and autonomy. The journey is far from over. With three volumes yet to come, the story will expand into unforeseen dimensions, where the boundaries between survival, selfhood, and humanity’s future are tested in ways neither the protagonist nor the AI can yet imagine.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For readers drawn to the quiet psychological tension of The Road and the intricate ethical dilemmas of Ex Machina, Pervigilium offers a unique and compelling exploration of connection and transformation in a world stripped bare.＜/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 Museum of Lies【電子書籍】[ J. Timothy Hunt ]

＜p＞Cary Scott's remarkable life story of spectacular good fortune, mixed with soul-crushing abuse, is frankly unbelievable. Even to Cary himself. In a series of disturbing, unfiltered monologues, Cary unburdens himself of his memories -- of being raised by a psychopathic single mother who was abandoned by her gay husband, of becoming the target of a pedophile, of becoming morbidly obese, followed by quack treatments that boomerang him alarmingly into anorexia. Cary recalls being a bullied gay teenager who literally crucifies himself with a hammer and nails to get out of gym class. From a psych ward, he finds himself instantly famous after an unintentionally homoerotic poem he wrote for a high school assignment finds its way to becoming the #1 pop song in the nation. In the years that follow, Cary's life nosedives again and again, yet he always finds himself rescued by bizarre deus-ex-machina occurrences. All these tales, however, are placed into doubt after his former therapist is accused in the media of implanting false memories in patients. Cary is labeled a pathological liar in a national magazine cover story. Refusing to believe that his exceptional life never actually happened, Cary creates a grotesque, secret, museum to himself filled with artefacts of atrocities and miracles which prove that his memories are true - but is it only a museum of lies?＜/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 Essays are comprised in four sections. The first is "Neophyte Papers." These essays were written in the mid 1980s when I began thinking about CS Lewis on paper in my limited way. The second section, "Familiarizing Papers," contains essays written for the course in humanities. This got me thinking of a dialogue, here called a Triologue, between Johannes Kepler, CS Lewis, and Mark Twain. The fourth section is called "Commentary," including a piece on fictionalizing Lewis, written after the fact of the novel and published in Mythprint #341. Other essays in this section include thoughts on the culture and craft relevant to the fictive works under our purview. One such, "Deus ex Machina Reversed" was published at Mere Orthodoxy. The third section, "The Triologue," is devoted to essays written specifically for the thesis paper--and its project which ultimately extrapolated into the Travelogue. The hope to produce Fantastic Travelogue: Mark Twain and CS Lewis Talk Things over in The Hereafter was itself the raison d'?tre for the thesis paper.
