Compassionate and experienced counselors Dr. Steve Stephens and Pam Vredevelt, LPC, have walked alongside women in pain for yearsーthey’ve heard the stories, seen the tears, felt the pain, and entered into the devastation.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Peter and Wendy - The Original Classic Edition【電子書籍】[ Barrie J ]

＜p＞Yes, there is darkness in Peter Pan - and in Alice, too, and in The Wizard of Oz - and certainly in Felix Saltons Bambi. These books, while written for young people, and which may be described as fantasy, have real plots and real characters who are not perfect. Peter Pan is selfish and stubborn as well as charming because children are not angels - they are little humans.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alice is highly critical of the adults in her dream world - adults who act very arbitrarily and often foolishly, as adults often do. Bambi is about the effects of human cruelty on animals; it deals with death and pain. One of the indications that these are good books, and not merely childrens books, is that they can be read at different stages of life with new layers of understanding. You dont have to outgrow them, and they are better than many a book written for adults.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The real Pan and Alice and Bambi may not be suitable for the very youngest children, but please dont deprive your children culturally by never giving them anything but Disneys cutesy interpretations.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For one thing, Barrie was a great writer who used words beautifully and had insightand feeling. Children deserve art as much as adults.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Peter is a boy that refuses to grow up. He lives in Neverland with his fairy, Tinkerbell, and the Lost Boys. He visits the nursery of Wendy, Michael, and John Darling to hear Wendys marvelous stories, and one night loses that pesky shadow. When he comes back to get it and tries to stick it back on, Wendy discovers this new boy in their nursery and soon learns about his amazing lifestyle. Entranced by thoughts of pirates, mermaids, and fairies, Wendy, Michael, and John embark on an amazing adventure into a world so unlike ours.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Its bittersweet, its insightful, its magical, its everything and more a child or an adult could ask for in a story. You wont want to leave Neverland, and some days, you may find yourself staring out the window, looking for that hint of light that is Tinkerbell or the boy effortlessly flying between trees and buildings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Without a doubt the greatest childrens story of all time, one that weve all heard, whether it was through a movie or a stage production. Experience the real magic though, and read Barries brilliant novel about the boy who wont grow up.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞The literary evolution of the female vampire begins with the legendary LILITH...but is she a cursed monster, or a symbol of the rebellious, independent woman? While the male vampire has gone from monster to anti-hero to dream boyfriend, the path of his sister in blood has been more complex and mysterious. James Grant Goldin presents a curated anthology of the original texts, some freshly translated, that trace the evolution of the vampire lady through the end of the 19th century. In this anthology, there are, to be sure, monsters--VESPERTILIA of "A Mystery of the Campagna," ONEIZA of "Thalaba the Destroyer" and BRUNHILDE of "Wake Not The Dead"--but there are also vampire women in love, like CLARIMONDE, the airborne ALICE of Turgenev's "Phantoms," or the lesbian CARMILLA. There are vampires seeking justice or vengeance, like THE LADY BRIGHT. And there are characters like CLARA CROFTON or ALINSKA, who are both predators and victims. VAMPIRES: FIRST BLOOD VOLUME II - THE VAMPIRE LADIES collects the original adventures of the daughters of darkness who returned from the dead to pit their supernatural powers against the entrenched forces of patriarchy.

【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 Awakening and Selected Short Stories (Legend Classics)【電子書籍】[ Kate Chopin ]

＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞“The bird that would soar above the level plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings. It is a sad spectacle to see the weaklings bruised, exhausted, fluttering back to earth.”＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Awakening＜/em＞ follows Edna Pontellier, a resident of coastal Grand Isle of Louisiana, in her late twenties, who has a quintessential set-up for a content housewife. Indeed, her husband makes good money, and her daily routine should gleefully hinge on the two children, but, Edna is neither a self-sacrificing mother, nor a devoted wife. Instead, she is gradually awoken to rebel against this ‘perfect set-up’. Edna finds herself in the middle of two extremes. On one hand, she finds selfless Madame Ratignolle, who is a model wife. On the other, there is dejected Mademoiselle Reisz, who pursues her artistic aspiration in solitude. While taking bold decisions and carving her niche, she explores her sexuality with a womanizer, Alcee and an intimate understanding with a young man, Robert Lebrun. Will this awakening predetermine her ultimate happiness or signpost personal tragedy? Will the duality of the ‘outward existence’ and ‘inward life’ be reconciled for Edna to signify her emancipation?＜/p＞ ＜p＞This short novel is widely acknowledged to do both, encapsulating the features of fin de si?cle realism in its linear narrative, and anticipates literary modernism of the early twentieth century. Edna’s defiance of the American alternative of Victorian ‘Angel in the House’ is reminiscent of such classics as Anna Bront?’s ＜em＞Tenant of the Wildfell Hall＜/em＞. ＜em＞The Awakening＜/em＞ also procures modernist works where the heroines look for the self - namely, ＜em＞Mrs Dalloway＜/em＞, ＜em＞Their Eyes Were Watching God＜/em＞ and ＜em＞The Bell Jar＜/em＞. The condensed and intense prose style gives the novel a cryptic charm in line with Fitzgerald’s classic, The Great Gatsby. Besides, vivid natural symbolism of water, birds and the moon are the calling card of the novel that enhances its level of ambiguity and multivalence.＜/p＞ ＜hr /＞ ＜p＞The ＜em＞Legend Classics＜/em＞ series:＜br /＞ Around the World in Eighty Days＜br /＞ The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn＜br /＞ The Importance of Being Earnest＜br /＞ Alice's Adventures in Wonderland＜br /＞ The Metamorphosis＜br /＞ The Railway Children＜br /＞ The Hound of the Baskervilles＜br /＞ Frankenstein＜br /＞ Wuthering Heights＜br /＞ Three Men in a Boat＜br /＞ The Time Machine＜br /＞ Little Women＜br /＞ Anne of Green Gables＜br /＞ The Jungle Book＜br /＞ The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories＜br /＞ Dracula＜br /＞ A Study in Scarlet＜br /＞ Leaves of Grass＜br /＞ The Secret Garden＜br /＞ The War of the Worlds＜br /＞ A Christmas Carol＜br /＞ Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde＜br /＞ Heart of Darkness＜br /＞ The Scarlet Letter＜br /＞ This Side of Paradise＜br /＞ Oliver Twist＜br /＞ The Picture of Dorian Gray＜br /＞ Treasure Island＜br /＞ The Turn of the Screw＜br /＞ The Adventures of Tom Sawyer＜br /＞ Emma＜br /＞ The Trial＜br /＞ A Selection of Short Stories by Edgar Allan Poe＜br /＞ Grimm Fairy Tales＜br /＞ The Awakening＜br /＞ Mrs Dalloway＜br /＞ Gulliver’s Travels＜br /＞ The Castle of Otranto＜br /＞ Silas Marner＜br /＞ Hard Times＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Cleaning out the closet is typically a woman's task. It is also a perfect metaphor for the creative endeavour as it rummages through junk - items long discarded or abandoned - for signs of renewal. In the tradition of the great female storytellers - Alice Munro, Doris Lessing, Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf - Mary Pomfret reveals the dramatic, consequential and often painful intimacies harboured within the seemingly innocuous details of family life.' - Sue Gillett 'Mary Pomfret's fiction explores uncanny inner landscapes of memory and desire. Her stories challenge the amnesia behind everyday existence and after a reading we are reacquainted with our strangely familiar, vulnerable and eminently human better selves.' - Ian Irvine 'Mary Pomfret's stories speak to the heart of family darkness, sibling rivalry, filial love and lost innocence, without for an instant being melodramatic or overwrought. These beautiful, compelling tales are peopled with complex characters and told by a writer who makes the domestic sublime.' - Alice Pung＜/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。
