【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！】Tarrano the Conqueror【電子書籍】[ Ray Cummings ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Tarrano the Conqueror＜/strong＞ is a science fiction novel by American author Ray Cummings first published in 1930.＜/p＞ ＜p＞”In ＜em＞Tarrano the Conqueror＜/em＞ is presented a tale of the year 2430 A.D. - a time somewhat farther beyond our present-day era than we are beyond Columbus' discovery of America. My desire has been to create for you the impression that you have suddenly been plunged forward into that time--to give you the feeling Columbus might have had could he have read a novel of our present-day life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To this end I have conceived myself a writer of that future time, addressing his contemporary public. You are to imagine yourself reading a present day translation of my original text - a translation so free that a thousand little colloquialisms will have crept into it that could not possibly have their counterparts in the year 2430.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Apart from the text, you will occasionally find brief explanatory footnotes. Conceive them as having been put there by the translator. If you find parts of this tale unusual or bizarre, please remember that we are living now in a comparatively ignorant day. The tale is not intended to be fantastic or full of new and strange ideas. I have used nothing but those developments of our present-day civilization to which we are all looking forward as logical probabilitiesーwoven them into a picture of what life in America very probably will be five hundred years from now. To that extent, the tale itself is intended to be only a love story of adventure and romanceーwritten, not for you, but for that future audience.” ＜em＞Ray Cummings.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Ray Cummings＜/strong＞ (1887-1957) was an American author of science fiction, rated one of the "founding fathers of the science fiction pulp genre".＜/p＞ ＜p＞Having worked for Thomas Alva Edison, Ray Cummings was inspired by science’s possibilities and began to write science fiction.＜/p＞ ＜p＞His most highly regarded work was the novel ＜em＞The Girl in the Golden Atom＜/em＞ published in 1922. His career resulted in some 750 novels and short stories, using also the pen names Ray King, Gabrielle Cummings, and Gabriel Wilson.＜/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！】Hell's Father【電子書籍】[ Ulf Wolf ]

＜p＞"How I shall admire, how laugh, how rejoice, how exult, when I behold so many proud monarchs, and fancied gods, groaning in the lowest abyss of darkness; so many magistrates who persecuted the name of the Lord, liquefying in fiercer fires than they ever kindled against the Christians." Tertullian, 160-225 AD＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Here there is no hope, and consequently no duty, no work, nothing to be gained by praying, nothing to be lost by doing what you like. Hell, in short, is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself." Bernard Shaw 1856-1950＜/p＞ ＜p＞"I dreamed I was awakening from another dreamーan uproar of chaos and cataclysmsーinto an unrecognizable room. Day was dawning: light suffused the room, outlining the foot of the wrought-iron bed, the upright chair, the closed door and windows, the bare desk. I thought fearfully, 'Where am I?' and I realized I didn't know. I thought, 'Who am I?' and I couldn't recognize myself. My fear grew. I thought: This desolate awakening is in Hell; this eternal vigil will be my destiny. Then I woke up, trembling." Jorge Luis Borges, 1899-1986＜/p＞ ＜p＞Tertullian, damp with fear, awoke from yet another nightmare. Thenーby small, stirring degreesーrelief slowly entered his blood and from there his heart as he realized that he had, yet again, managed to escape.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Day was dawning: light suffused the room, outlining the foot of his bed, a high-backed chair, a writing desk, a water carafe, empty now, a roll of papyrus which, he knew, held his unfinished exposition of Hell. But for all these things, the room was unrecognizable. He looked around again, tardy sleep lingering, making the room shift slightly each time he blinked, and he thought fearfully, "Where am I?" He realized that he didn't know. He thought, "Who am I?" He realized that he did not know, that he did not recognize himself. He looked down at his hands: they were not his hands. He looked at his feet: they were not his feet. His fear grew. He thought: This desolate awakening is in Hell, true Hell, I have descended into in my own creation. I have built myself this cage. This eternal vigil will be my destiny.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I am here to stay.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With that thought, the world grew air-less and he could inhale nothing but panic. And with that breath escaped the last vestige of relief.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Then he awoke. Trembling and clammy he threw his eyes wide open to the dawning day, light suffusing the room, outlining: as he looked down, the foot of his bed; as he looked to his right, his high-backed chair, his writing desk, and upon it the water carafe, not quite empty. Also upon the desk: the roll of papyrus he knew held his as yet incomplete exposition of Hell.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Then he remembered: Hell. Unfinished Hell. Sleep crept into his room unbidden, had embraced him and then wrestled him out of his chair and onto his bed, demanding a moment, just a moment, just a moment.＜/p＞ ＜p＞He heaved himself up onto his right elbow, looked around the room and for a heartbeat wondered whether he was to wake up from this dream as well. Then he sat up all the way. He touched his face and recognized the jutting chin. His fingers. His chin. The now stubbly, harrowed cheeks were his too. And so were his hands: his hands. His feet: his feet. Even so, he rolled the rough hem of the blanket between his fingers to feel the coarse fiber almost like sand against his skin: yes, this was his blanket, and these were his fingers, yes, and this was his skin.＜/p＞ ＜p＞He rubbed the blanket against his cheek, then across his forehead, and again to make sure he was truly awake. He was. ...＜/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！】Jagged Truth【電子書籍】[ Emily Kimelman ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Robert Maxim's smirk feels a little like home, like the scary exciting basement steps with their shadows and hints of unnatural powers.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞A cold wind rushes across the fallow corn field, pulling at my cargo pants and dipping into the open neck of my long overcoat.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It's too large for me, drooping off the shoulders and buttoned around my son, James, as he sleeps against my chest in his baby carrier.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Blue's nose taps my hip. My son's breath warms my chest. This is home. They say you can’t ever go home again?but I think they're wrong. No matter where I stand, as long as I have these two with me, I am home.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Robert Maxim, on the other hand…I know I don't belong with him although he doesn't agree. The man is richer and more powerful than anyone should be. He holds as much sway over our world as the basement steps over the imagination of a childーit's a death grip that makes no sense.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Here he stands now, the same cold wind bracketing me, teasing his hairーsable but silvered at the temples, just like a real villain. His ebony coat fits him perfectly, the material the kind of soft black that absorbs light.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When we are ten feet away, Robert stirs, moving forward to meet us. "Sydney," he says in that voice of his, looking at me with those oceanic eyes, smiling with that smirk. Robert's gaze drops to Blue. "Blue," he says, nodding a greeting.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Blue's tail wags, and he lets out a warble. Robert's smirk spreads into a smile. Blue doesn't hate Robert Maxim. Which is a point in Robert's favor. But there are too many checkmarks in the "this guy is a dangerous psychopath column" to totally trust Blue's assessment that he shouldn't be mauled on sight.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Robert," I say, tilting my chin up.＜/p＞ ＜p＞His gaze shifts to the bulge under my coat. My arms circle James. The black wool coat reaches past my knees covering James's body, keeping him hidden and warm. "He's asleep."＜/p＞ ＜p＞"I've so looked forward to meeting him."＜/p＞ ＜p＞I spent James's entire lifeーall eleven months of itーhiding. Not just from Robert Maxim, but he was one of the key components that made me want to bury myself away from the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I may believe you can find home no matter where you are…but that also means you can't ever run away from yourself. Wherever you go, there you are…and in my case Robert Maxim is there too.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"I left you, Robert. You must realize that I'm not going to let you be in my son's life."＜/p＞ ＜p＞"No?" His gaze drops to the top of James's head. He leans forward to get a peek at his face, and the emotion that steals over Robert Maxim breaks off a piece of my heart and runs away with it. "You can have it all," Robert says. "Any thing or person you desire." He throws the word desire at me like it's mine, like I should own it. "All of your wants and needs can be met. You just have to allow yourself to have them." His eyes come back to mine. "Can you do that, Sydney? Let yourself have everything you want?"＜/p＞ ＜p＞"How do I get you to just leave me alone?"＜/p＞ ＜p＞His nostrils flare, and the skin around his eyes tighten.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"You can have that too.

【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！】Inspirations A Collection of Confessions and Revelations【電子書籍】[ Michael LaMagna ]

＜p＞Have you ever found yourself wondering if there was any more to this life? Have you ever questioned God's plan for you, your purpose, or destiny? Of course you have. When I asked those questions, the answer that I was given threw me for a loop. The answer was so unexpected and out of my comfort zone that I spent many years wondering if I had heard the correct answer. Our main purpose is to worship and glorify God. God inspired me to glorify Him in this manner. Inspirations is a book that started as a simple exercise in expressing thoughts, not necessarily meant to be shared, but as a vehicle to let new emotions and new ideals flow from my heart. When I began this journey, I was both new to poetry and a brand-new Christian. I had never had the desire to write nor had any idea how far the process of writing would take me. It was several years of expression through writing, and sharing with others, before I realized I had the beginnings of a book. Even then I had no concept of the height, depth, and width of this project, or how far God could take me in such an uncomfortable and untenable position. All forms of art are born out of some manner of inspiration. This collection of poetry has had its share of unusual types of inspiration, from cartoons and movies to other authors and people in my everyday life, even situations in which I found myself that would show the glory and majesty of our Lord. The subject matter of all these poems, while most are individually inspired, can be separated into two categories, either confession or revelation. There is truth within these pages, truth about my life and I would be willing to guess, at least some truth about your life as well. My prayer is that the words within these pages would first serve to glorify God and second serve to inspire you to do something, perhaps outside of your comfort zone, so that you will rely on God's strength and knowledge. Let us remain humble, by getting out of our own way, and letting Jesus shine through us.＜/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！】Dedication over Education【電子書籍】[ Ezekiel Nero ]

＜p＞You needed to read and write for every career or you didn’t get one, even though I was charismatic and great with people that didn’t count. But it all led to where I was today. A successful businessman with plenty of regrets but time to prove he was capable to himself. I began to realise my own worth and make myself proud. Yes, I wasn’t great at reading or writing but it didn’t mean that I couldn’t hold down a great business of my own. Anyone can make it. Dyslexia is not something that is supposed to hold you back, it is just an obstacle that you have to find a way around in order to reach the finish line. It doesn’t make you dumb or stupid to have a learning disability, it just means that you are skilled in other areas. Just remember that sometimes dedication is just as good as education. I had many doors slammed in my face over the years but I created my own doors from scratch and walked straight through them. Never ever give up on yourself, be successful for you.＜/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＞This book is about being in love, then having problems with it. Until I found myself out of love. And where do I go? Where do I turn to next? How was I going to make it through another day broken and with a heavy heart? Sequentially, I turned to GOD. I was lost, and GOD found me. Where I felt like in many places I didn't belong, JESUS claimed me. I found myself having conversations with GOD. And HE spoke back. Helping me to find myself in HIM. Seeing the world through HIS eyes. That when it got to the end of this book, as surely as the LORD lives, I know who I am, what my purpose is, and why I am here. I pray that those of you that read this book also find yourself and your GOD-given purpose in life. And if this book saves at least one soul, praise and glory be to GOD in the name of JESUS let the REDEEMED say AMEN!＜/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！】There's Always Tomorrow Inspirational Poems【電子書籍】[ Michael Kelch ]

＜p＞"There is always tomorrow" is something that I try to remind myself every day. My heavenly father has given me a faith that I rely on daily to make it through the challenges of life. We all have challenges we must face. Many times, the challenges and burdens we face can make me or you feel as if there is no way out. When you look to God and the strength inside yourself, there is always a way through all the storms of life. We all have an inner strength that oftentimes we don't know we have until we need it. Heavenly father never leaves us alone. He is always with you or me. We all have a spirit of a warrior inside us all. Having a warrior spirit does not mean that you will not be hurt or scarred by the trials of life. Usually, the opposite is true if we pray and listen to our hearts and do what God wants us to do. Then we will be able to navigate through the storms of life. God has given us this life and as part of it has given us the tools to make it through the journey we call life. When you feel as if you can't handle one more thing that life can throw at you, remember to look to God and there is always tomorrow. Never give up on life or yourself. There is always a reason to look toward tomorrow. We are all special.＜/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！】I Made It【電子書籍】[ Gladys Santana ]

＜p＞Have you ever asked yourself, why me? I asked myself that same question millions of times. I stopped asking that question because we will never get the answers. I decided to survive rape, physical abuse, verbal abuse, abandonment, rejection, unworthiness, and my childhood being taken away from me.

【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！】Essence of Ubuntu Life lessons and thoughts of a global traveller about purpose, inspiration, personal legacy, mind genesis, social distance and ubuntu【電子書籍】[ tadej peric ]

＜p＞My career in the hospitality and travel industry spans over almost 20 years and in this period of time I’ve met thousands of people while working in resorts, hotels, cruises and river cruises as well as planning, executing and hosting events and tours.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Being able to visit incredible worldwide destinations and meeting people of various cultures, religions and races enriched me and filled my soul to such extent that one day I realised I have a message, just like Gandhi said, "My life is my message”. That is what inspired me to write the book, because I have had my own unique experiences and knowledge and I felt it was the right time to start writing. I decided to write, because of all the human interactions that travel allowed me to experience. The knowledge that I was able to gain and give and the life lessons I have learned.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The idea also came about as direct feedback from guests, customers, travellers, which I have met along my journeys. Guests would tell me that they would like to connect with me and find out about my next destination/project or venture, many simply wanted to remain connected.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Other guests told me, “You should write a book about all the craziness that you see and experience around hotels, resorts, cruises and river cruises as well as tours and events”. And yes, a few real life stories can be found in this book.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book offers bits of wisdom, lessons learned and my personal thoughts and thanks to Barbara Lenhard and Florian Ghast, the founders of ARTsouthAFRICA it is enriched with beautiful art ? all from the land of Ubuntu, magical South Africa.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this book, I share some of the insights as well as life lessons I have learned while traveling the world. I share some of the inspiring true stories of tourists that I had the pleasure to interact with. Some of the most profound secrets were revealed from the struggles and traumatic life events the tourists shared with me. The global experience and these fascinating secrets and life lessons enabled me to rub shoulders with impressive international leaders, entrepreneurs and global icons like Richard Branson, Ndaba Mandela (grandson of the great Nelson Mandela), Ivo Boscarol, Dr John Demartini, Dr Precious Moloi Motsepe among others. It is equally important to mention, that while I indeed met incredible personalities, my life lessons were also fortified by meeting thousands of splendid tourists, guests, travellers as well as colleagues from all around the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I have become a citizen of the world. The insights that I share in this book are meaningful to me and they can perhaps propel you into finding your authenticity, or perhaps they might help you create a better reality for yourself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is centred around the philosophy of Ubuntu, which encapsulates the secrets to a good life, lived with meaning and purpose, a life that contributes to the wellbeing of those still seeking meaning and fulfilment. It is also true that Ubuntu means I am because you are and that is the reality of how I built myself up thanks to all the impactful people I have met on my journey.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book will hopefully energise you, will empower you and enable you ? no matter your circumstances ? to become exceptional, that person you always dreamt of becoming, the achiever of personal fulfilment. Perhaps it might inspire you to travel more. Most of all, I trust this book sparks an interest in you about acquiring new knowledge about the philosophy of Ubuntu, about The Essence of Ubuntu.＜/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 Irresistible Moms Collection【電子書籍】[ Forrest Young ]

＜p＞It may have crossed your mind, but would you ever cross the line?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Seductive dreams drive one young man to obsessive turmoil… Hidden desires begin to involuntarily surface in another, testing the limits of his free and open lifestyle… Forbidden fantasies compel another to voyeuristic tendencies that break every acceptable boundary!＜/p＞ ＜p＞Indulge yourself in three titillating tales of those who not only cross the line, but totally shatter it. This collection of three full-length stories explores generational taboos in ways that are sure to arouse your senses and set your imagination soaring with page after page of shocking, yet illicitly thrilling scenarios!＜/p＞ ＜p＞~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~＜/p＞ ＜p＞When Rebecca called to let me know that some beauty products she’d ordered for me had arrived, I agreed to pick them up on the way home from work. And I fretted, all afternoon, whether I’d feel awkward around her.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I needn’t have worried. Rebecca didn’t seem to have any clue about what had transpired between Derrick and me a few nights ago. In fact, she was in a very good mood. I made an effort to hide my own feelings, so she wouldn’t suspect how I was enjoying the devilish thrill of keeping such an erotic, forbidden secret from her.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When Derrick came home, and saw us sitting on the couch together, his lips curved into a welcoming smile that included, to my perceptive eyes, a knowing little grin. The rest of my worries vanished. I hadn’t scarred him; he’d enjoyed the encounter just as much as I had, and was perfectly okay with how things had played out.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Hi, Stacy,” he exclaimed, and cheerfully kissed the top of my head as he walked by.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Hi, sweetie,” I replied, trying to sound casually nonchalant.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rebecca lifted an eyebrow. I quickly diverted her by asking, “So are things going okay now?”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Her emphatic nod reassured me. “Oh, he’s been in an amazingly good mood the last few days!” Then she broached the question I’d hoped to avoid: “I take it the talk you had with him the other night went pretty well?”＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Yeah, we had a really nice time. He can still pack away a pizza like no one’s business!” Then, because she was obviously bursting with curiosity, I carefully added, “He’s been worried about a girl he’s been seeing. I didn’t press him for details…kids his age are nerve endings all over, you know? But using me as a sounding board seemed to help.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞She seemed satisfied with that, and easily moved on to another topic.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Derrick came downstairs just as I was getting ready to leave. When I heard him moving around in the kitchen, I decided to risk a few moments alone with him. “You doing okay?” I softly urged, after making sure my sister was still busily packing up our beauty supplies in the living room.＜/p＞ ＜p＞He nodded emphatically. “Things are going great. Our visit the other night really helped.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞“I’m glad.” I couldn’t help grinning back at him. “I really enjoyed it, too. No more, ah, crazy thoughts?”＜/p＞ ＜p＞He glanced cautiously toward the open doorway, then lifted one broad shoulder in a rueful shrug. “Well, the thoughts are still there. But they’re not driving me crazy anymore.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞That was a relief. “I’m glad to hear it. But if you ever need to, um, talk some more, you’ll let me know?”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Impish delight lit his eyes. “You know I will.” Cheerfully he picked up his sandwich, kissed me on the foreheadーlingering just a few seconds longer than was strictly properーand then headed back upstairs. The sweet gesture warmed me even as I felt hot tingles coil through my belly.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I felt really good about myself as I drove home. But even though I was ridiculously proud of knowing that Derrick was doing better, even if the means had been extremely unconventional, I was equally disappointed thatーdespite his assurance in the kitchenーthe experience probably would not be repeated. I’d discovered a new side to myself that was both exciting and a little disturbing. Could I ever find something else that would arouse me that intensely again?＜/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＞Two arts, synchronous＜/p＞ ＜p＞in waves of speculation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Together as One.＜/p＞ ＜p＞〓〓＜/p＞ ＜p＞When Ron proposed this book of science fictional haiku, I was amused but skeptical. Haiku? Does he know what a haiku is? Can he even write poetry?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Turns out he does know what a haiku is and he can write poetry. As I read along I was increasingly fascinated and delighted. The pairing of haiku and AI artwork is ingenious, truly more than the sum of its parts. And that’s before you read Ron’s short comments describing each pairing, adding extra depth, often with poignancy and humor.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I found myself studying each piece of art to see if I could guess the subject of the haiku before reading it. And then returning to the artwork with the haiku now in mind before reading Ron’s comments. You will not be surprised to find yourself sometimes disagreeing with Ron’s interpretation or assessment of the resulting artwork. That’s okay. Art, like beauty, is all in the eye of the beholder.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I was even inspired to write my own haiku and generate an AI pairing, above. The wild-eyed look of Ron the science fiction author writing haiku is perfect!＜/p＞ ＜p＞So, enjoy the book you have in your hands. Savor it.

【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！】Feudal Tyrants, The Counts of Carlsheim and Sargans: A Romance Taken from German (Complete)【電子書籍】[ Christiane Benedicte Eugenie Hebenstreit Naubert ]

＜p＞Your resolution, noble Elizabeth, to remain in cloistered solitude, passing your hours in tears for your husband’s loss, and in prayers for the repose of his spirit, is dignified and worthy of the illustrious race to which you have the glory to belong. Model of female constancy! though years have elapsed since Frederick died, your tears flow as freely as on the first day of your widowhood! Unequalled lady! does there exist a virtue, whose seeds we ought not to depend on finding in a heart like yours? Is there a sacrifice so great that a soul like Elizabeth’s is incapable of making it?ーIn the bloom of life to tear yourself from the pleasures of the world and the eyes of a thousand admirers, that you may watch away the lonely nights by the sepulchral urn of an husband far advanced in years; to fly from the charms of sway and grandeur that you may humble yourself before the altar, kneeling in the dust, and praying for the repose of the deceased-one, oh! what an act of self-denial! an act, which reaches the summit of magnanimity, by not being established on the foundation of love; for in truth, how could love for the decrepit Frederick find a place in the heart of the young and blooming Elizabeth, whose warmest sentiment must have been filial respect towards a benefactor? Oh! Elizabeth, is indeed your state of widowhood your only motive for taking refuge in a convent? An expression used in the conclusion of your letter fully explains the sentiment which I felt, and still feel for the Count of Torrenburg. Yes, Conrad; Frederick was my benefactor in the strongest sense of the wordーand therefore is it, that though years have elapsed since his decease, my tears for his loss still flow as freely as they did on the first day. But whether sorrow for my widowed state was my only motive for burying myself in a cloister.... Oh! Conrad, it was unnecessary for you to use flattery in order to obtain a knowledge of the truth. Without calling me “the model of female constancy,” or declaring me to be without an equal, I might have been Induced to confess, that Frederick’s death wasnot the only reason which at first induced me to take refuge in a convent, and which perhaps will induce me never to leave it more. Oh! much, very much lies heavy upon this heart of mine! I suffer under the pressure of misfortunes, of which but a small part is known to you; yet even that little must be sufficient to make you comprehend, why I feel compelled to abandon the world, and fly to solitude for relief and comfort. Conrad! Conrad! would to Heaven it weretrue, that there is no sacrifice so great, that I am incapable of making it! Alas! I feel but too strongly, that great sacrifices are in my power, for which I must prepare myself by supplication to Heaven, and the solitude and calm of a cloister.＜/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＞I kept putting myself in danger, and I couldn’t make it stop. It rarely felt like a choice, though, of course, it was. It’s only the death drive, my dear, Freud would likely tell me, if I lay my body down on his carpet covered couch. Everybody needs a little oblivion. Besides, what is the fantasy of the knight on a white charger if not an abandonment wish? A desire to be rescued from your own life by a story.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞This Ragged Grace＜/em＞ tells the story of Octavia’s journey to recovery from alcohol addiction, and the parallel story of her father’s descent into Alzheimer’s. Looking back over this time, each of the seven chapters explores the feelings and experiences of the corresponding year of recovery, tracing the shift in emotion and understanding that comes with the deepening connection to this new way of life. Over the course of this seven-year period, life continues to unfold. Paths are abandoned, people fall ill, waters get choppy, seemingly impossible things are navigated without the old fixes. As Octavia moves between London, the island of Stromboli, New York, Cornwall and Margate, each place offers something new but ultimately always delivers the same message: that wherever you go, you take yourself with you.＜/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。

Perhaps I have rather invited this persecution, since I have often had occasion to point out to him how superficial are his own accounts and to accuse him of pandering to popular taste instead of confining himself rigidly to facts and figures. “Try it yourself, Holmes!” he has retorted, and I am compelled to admit that, having taken my pen in my hand, I do begin to realize that the matter must be presented in such a way as may interest the reader. The following case can hardly fail to do so, as it is among the strangest happenings in my collection though it chanced that Watson had no note of it in his collection. Speaking of my old friend and biographer, I would take this opportunity to remark that if I burden myself with a companion in my various little inquiries it is not done out of sentiment or caprice, but it is that Watson has some remarkable characteristics of his own to which in his modesty he has given small attention amid his exaggerated estimates of my own performances. A confederate who foresees your conclusions and course of action is always dangerous, but one to whom each development comes as a perpetual surprise, and to whom the future is always a closed book, is indeed an ideal helpmate. I find from my notebook that it was in January, 1903, just after the conclusion of the Boer War, that I had my visit from Mr. James M. Dodd, a big, fresh, sunburned, upstanding Briton. The good Watson had at that time deserted me for a wife, the only selfish action which I can recall in our association. I was alone. It is my habit to sit with my back to the window and to place my visitors in the opposite chair, where the light falls full upon them. Mr. James M. Dodd seemed somewhat at a loss how to begin the interview. I did not attempt to help him, for his silence gave me more time for observation. I have found it wise to impress clients with a sense of power, and so I gave him some of my conclusions.＜/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。
