【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！】In Search of Lost Time: Swann's Way: A Graphic Novel【電子書籍】[ Marcel Proust ]

＜p＞With its sweeping digressions into the past and reflections on the nature of memory, Proust’s oceanic novel ＜em＞In Search of Lost Time＜/em＞ looms over twentieth-century literature as one of the greatest, yet most endlessly challenging, literary experiences. Influencing writers like Virginia Woolf and James Joyce, and even anticipating Albert Einstein in its philosophical explorations of space and time, ＜em＞In Search of Lost Time＜/em＞ is a monumental achievement and reading it is a rite of passage for any serious lover of literature.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Now, in what renowned translator Arthur Goldhammer says might be “likened to a piano reduction of an orchestral score,” the French illustrator St?phane Heuet re-presents Proust in graphic form for anyone who has always dreamed of reading him but was put off by the sheer magnitude of the undertaking. This ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ best-selling graphic adaptation reveals the fundamental architecture of Proust’s work while displaying a remarkable fidelity to his language as well as the novel’s themes of time, art, and the elusiveness of memory. As Goldhammer writes in his introduction, “The reader new to Proust must attend closely, even in this compressed rendering, to the novel’s circling rhythms and abrupt cross-cuts between different places and times. But this necessary attentiveness is abetted and facilitated by the compactness of the graphic format.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this first volume, ＜em＞Swann’s Way＜/em＞, the narrator Marcel, an aspiring writer, recalls his childhood whenーin a now-immortal moment in literatureーthe taste of a madeleine cake dipped in tea unleashes a torrent of memories about his family’s country home in the town of Combray. Here, Heuet and Goldhammer use Proust’s own famously rich and labyrinthine sentences and discerning observations to render Combray like never before. From the water lilies of the Vivonne to the steeple and stained glass of the town church, Proust’s language provides the blueprint for Heuet’s illustrations. Heuet and Goldhammer also capture Proust’s humor, wit, and sometimes scathing portrayals of Combray’s many memorable inhabitants, like the lovelorn Charles Swann and the object of his affection and torment, Odette de Cr?cy; Swann’s daughter, Gilberte; local aristocrat the Duchesse de Guermantes; the narrator’s uncle Adolphe; and the hypochondriac Aunt L?onie.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Including a Proust family tree, a glossary of terms, and a map of Paris, this graphic adaptation is a surprising and useful companion piece to Proust’s masterpiece for both the initiated and those seeking an introduction.＜/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！】Sunny's Nights Lost and Found at a Bar on the Edge of the World【電子書籍】[ Tim Sultan ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Imagine that Alice had walked into a bar instead of falling down the rabbit hole. In the tradition of J. R. Moehringer’s ＜em＞The Tender Bar＜/em＞ and the classic reportage of Joseph Mitchell, here is an indelible portrait of what is quite possibly the greatest bar in the worldーand the mercurial, magnificent man behind it.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The first time he saw Sunny’s Bar, in 1995, Tim Sultan was lost, thirsty for a drink, and intrigued by the single bar sign among the forlorn warehouses lining the Brooklyn waterfront. Inside, he found a dimly lit room crammed with maritime artifacts, a dozen well-seasoned drinkers, and, strangely, a projector playing a classic Martha Graham dance performance. Sultan knew he had stumbled upon someplace special. What he didn’t know was that he had just found his new home.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Soon enough, Sultan has quit his office job to bartend full-time for Sunny Balzano, the bar’s owner. A wild-haired Tony Bennett lookalike with a fondness for quoting Shakespeare and Samuel Beckett, Sunny is truly one of a kind. Born next to the saloon that has been in his family for one hundred years, Sunny has over the years partied with Andy Warhol, spent time in India at the feet of a guru, and painted abstract expressionist originals. But his masterpiece is the bar itself, a place where a sublime mix of artists, mobsters, honky-tonk musicians, neighborhood drunks, nuns, longshoremen, and assorted eccentrics rub elbows. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly transforming city, ＜em＞Sunny’s Nights＜/em＞ is a loving and singular portrait of the dream experience we’re all searching for every time we walk into a bar, and an enchanting memoir of an unlikely and abiding friendship.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Praise for ＜em＞Sunny’s Nights＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Fantastic . . . [Sultan takes] material that might seem familiar and [mixes] a perfect, insightful cocktail: full-bodied, multitextured and delicious. . . . Simply beautiful.”＜strong＞ー＜em＞The New York Times Book Review＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Sultan’s love of Red Hook shines through, and it’s hard not to be swept along on the ebb and flow of his emotions. . . . Sultan’s book is, among other things, a meditation on the fragility of the moment and the passage of time. . . . Wistful, funny and biting, ＜em＞Sunny’s Nights＜/em＞ rewards you with its evocation of a certain place in time and, as Sultan calls him, ‘the most original man I have ever met.’”＜strong＞ー＜em＞Newsday＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“An affectionate portrait of the idiosyncratic Sunny’s Bar.”＜strong＞ー＜em＞USA Today＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Sultan finds Sunny . . . a real character, a poet, a cinephile, a philosopher, bluegrass maestro and (Rheingold) beer server.”＜strong＞ー＜em＞New York Post＜/em＞ (“Required Reading”)＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Captivating . . . a classic story about a local bar.”＜strong＞ー＜em＞The Buffalo News＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“An enchanting memoir, a profound meditation on place and a beautiful story of an unlikely and abiding friendship.”＜strong＞ー＜em＞Brooklyn Daily Eagle＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“[A] polished, affecting look at remarkable barkeep Sunny Balzano . . .

Escaping the world of his past, Dancy Ruelaix ventured into the solitude of wilderness. Wanting to evade opening his heart to another human being, he always thought he never needed anyone. But, there was one person who could not live without him. Her name was Lyla Strauss. A season of change comes in “The Lost Winter of Lyla Strauss”.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Both trappers did the best they could in saving Coulton’s right foot, as the probability of him losing it was a likely conclusion beyond blooded strips of white cloth and an improvised splint along the length of his leg.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Delirium wafted over the stranger, as bouts of excruciating pain and slim swaths of lucidity encapsulated this human being for almost a month. Person nursing him back to some semblance of viability relied mostly on tinctures and potions from Ravenswood, a shamanic healer from the Inuit tribe.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hollister’s condition was touch and go as he drifted into a coma during the middle of October and was given a spiritual ceremony of finality by Ravenswood.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As one of the trappers stayed inside the cabin around the clock keeping watch over Coulton for the next seven days the other stayed the course of collecting, cleaning and curing pelts for the future winter months to come.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To normalize Coulton Hollister’s temperature since his rescue in September, a bed had been placed in the front room of the cabin where the fireplace was located.＜/p＞ ＜p＞On the morning of the seventh day of that vigil, sun beamed through an almost sheer piece of fabric on the side window of the cabin and a man awakened once more.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Coulton’s eyes slowly opened, as a blazing flash of sunlight filled the cabin and he got a first glimpse of life back among the living.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Beneath a cocooning layer of varied blankets, cloths and fur swaths, this wounded man’s arms slowly pushed them to one side of the bed as his eyes grasped for some sight which was familiar to him.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Focusing first upon his beard which had become overgrown, Coulton’s eyes slowly began to blink and take in a pleasant view.＜br /＞ Across the room from where he was, a nude female of slight form sat on the edge of another bed, brushing long, brown hair with her back situated to him.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In an awakened presence of the angel who he had thought was sent to watch over him Coulton Hollister thought this young waif of only 13 or 14 years of age had been the daughter of the trappers who’d recovered him from the base of that ravine.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Focusing his eyes upon this nude female, he realized she was more mature than being of teen years. She was not a girl, but a woman of tender presence. Probably not the daughter of the trapper, but a young bride of a mountain man was the thought which filled Hollister’s mind about this beauty.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Coulton’s labored grunt filled the air, as each footstep brought him closer to where she sat upon the bed. Using a branch located near his bed as a crutch to stabilize his balance, he moved slowly.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hearing him stir behind her, this young woman wrapped a white cotton garment around herself in front of this stranger, “You certainly know how to scare a person, Mister”.

＜p＞The acclaimed author of the Tarzan series brings another fantastic world to life in The Land that Time Forgot. The story begins in the midst of World War 1, in the middle of naval attacks between the armies of various nations. On a submarine that had been captured in English Channel, the combatants from several countries fight for the ownership of the vessel. After a series of unfortunate circumstances, the submarine is sent off-course into the South Pacific, and then is even further rerouted to Antarctica. When the vessel runs out of fuel, the submarine makes its way into a strange passage under a mysterious island. The island is full of primitive creatures and plants that are evolving rapidly. As the submarine’s passengers begin exploring their whereabouts, they realize that this island is a glimpse into the past. The fully evolved humans have to navigate their surroundings and use what they can find to create the technology that will get their ship back on course.

【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！】Rimbaud in Java The Lost Voyage【電子書籍】[ Jamie James ]

＜p＞In A Season in Hell, at the age of eighteen, the French poet Arthur Rimbaud predicted the rest of his life: 'My day is done; I'm leaving Europe. The sea air will burn my lungs; lost climes will tan my skin.' Three years later, in 1876, he joined the Royal Army of the Dutch Indies as an infantryman and sailed for Java, where he promptly deserted and fled into the jungle. It was the most enigmatic passage in his life crowded with puzzles and contrarieties.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the first book devoted to Rimbaud's lost voyage to Asia, the novelist and critic Jamie James reviews everything that is known about the episode; from there, he imaginatively spirals into a reconstruction of what the poet must have seen and informed speculation about what he might have done, vividly recreating life in nineteenth-century Java along the way. Rimbaud in Java concludes with an inquiry into what the Orient represented in the poet's imagination, with a scandalous, amusing history of French orientalism. James' surprising book is a richly concentrated blend of biography, criticism and thought-travel, which brings into sharp focus this brief encounter between a great writer and a vanished world.＜/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。
