＜p＞Biloxi's beaches and casinos make the city a haven for Gulf Coast tourists. And since it's one of America's oldest communities, local residents have seen many iconic treasures come and go.

In 1969, Hurricane Camille flattened the Baldwin Wood Lighthouse. Other structures like Biloxi City Hall on Main Street faded away with the passage of time, having stood resolute for decades. Author Edmond Boudreaux recalls Biloxi's most significant and cherished landmarks.＜/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 Lost Prince【電子書籍】[ Frances Hodgson Burnett ]

＜p＞There are many dreary and dingy rows of ugly houses in certain parts of London, but there certainly could not be any row more ugly or dingier than Philibert Place. There were stories that it had once been more attractive, but that had been so long ago that no one remembered the time. It stood back in its gloomy, narrow strips of uncared-for, smoky gardens, whose broken iron railings were supposed to protect it from the surging traffic of a road which was always roaring with the rattle of busses, cabs, drays, and vans, and the passing of people who were shabbily dressed and looked as if they were either going to hard work or coming from it, or hurrying to see if they could find some of it to do to keep themselves from going hungry. The brick fronts of the houses were blackened with smoke, their windows were nearly all dirty and hung with dingy curtains, or had no curtains at all; the strips of ground, which had once been intended to grow flowers in, had been trodden down into bare earth in which even weeds had forgotten to grow. One of them was used as a stone-cutter's yard, and cheap monuments, crosses, and slates were set out for sale, bearing inscriptions beginning with "Sacred to the Memory of." another had piles of old lumber in it, another exhibited second-hand furniture, chairs with unsteady legs, sofas with horsehair stuffing bulging out of holes in their covering, mirrors with blotches or cracks in them. The insides of the houses were as gloomy as the outside. They were all exactly alike. In each a dark entrance passage led to narrow stairs going up to bedrooms, and to narrow steps going down to a basement kitchen. The back bedroom looked out on small, sooty, flagged yards, where thin cats quarreled, or sat on the coping of the brick walls hoping that sometime they might feel the sun; the front rooms looked over the noisy road, and through their windows came the roar and rattle of it. It was shabby and cheerless on the brightest days, and on foggy or rainy ones it was the most forlorn place in London.＜/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＞＜strong＞Understand the Prophets Like Never Before with Amazing Insights from One of Today's Foremost Old Testament Scholars＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞For many Christians reading the Old Testament, trying to understand Israel's prophets is like listening to just one side of a phone conversation--you only get half the idea of it. You hear the answer, but how do you know what question the prophet is answering?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞The Lost Letters to the Twelve Prophets＜/em＞, John Goldingay uncovers the questions behind the prophets' answers that make their meaning and relevance intelligible to us. Written as a series of imaginary letters to the twelve Minor Prophets, ＜em＞The Lost Letters to the Twelve Prophets＜/em＞ asks the kinds of questions that Hosea, Micah, Zechariah, and others were answering. The letters make clear the issues these prophets of Israel were dealing with or deliver the news they were responding to in their Old Testament writings. For example,＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞To Hosea: Why did you marry someone you knew might be unfaithful?＜/li＞ ＜li＞To Joel: It looks as if a locust epidemic is on the way: what should we do?＜/li＞ ＜li＞To Amos: What should we do about the war crimes of peoples around us?＜/li＞ ＜li＞To Obadiah: The Edomites have occupied our land and pushed us out: what's up with that?＜/li＞ ＜li＞To Jonah: When is God going to fulfill his undertaking to destroy Nineveh?＜/li＞ ＜li＞To Micah: Will God always be angry with us as a people?＜/li＞ ＜li＞To Nahum: When is God going to fulfill his undertaking to destroy Nineveh?＜/li＞ ＜li＞To Habakkuk: When is God going to do something about injustice in Judah?＜/li＞ ＜li＞To Zephaniah: What do you mean by "the day of the Lord"?＜/li＞ ＜li＞To Haggai: When is God going to fulfill his promises about rebuilding the temple?＜/li＞ ＜li＞To Zechariah: Should Jeshua be High Priest when he has been in an unclean land?＜/li＞ ＜li＞To Malachi: Why does serving God seem pointless?＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞These and other questions help readers peer behind the veil of Minor Prophets' utterances and unlock their significance for today's Christians.

＜p＞Hi, I’m Shannon Mackay, Shazz to my friends.＜br /＞ I love singing, sword fighting and fantasy anything: books, games, cosplay, movies, TV series... When I’m not singing, fighting, reading, watching or engaged in something fantasy I’m imagining it. I even dream fantasy.＜br /＞ That’s why, one night when this huge ball of lightning rolls over me and, next minute, I’m someplace (N’arth) and sometime else (2000 years in my future), I’m convinced I’m dreaming. One of my classic duel dreams where I fight the baddy and I win!＜br /＞ When I can’t sing, lose the duel, and don’t wake up after a really hard fall, I start to believe this old guy, Nuselmir.＜br /＞ He’s the one who brought me to N’arth. He says he’s a scientist from an advanced planet, destroyed by his brother Fircule, and now Fircule’s trying to destroy N’arth. He’s convinced that only one person can save this world, Princess Raylene. Big problem, some childhood trauma caused her to become mute and withdrawn. In desperation, Nuselmir put her genetic markers in a device called a Dron and used it to locate someone who looks like her and could impersonate her?me and then swaps us. Oh, yeah, my Mum and Dad will love that.＜br /＞ So, he drags me to this other place, where toilet paper hasn’t been invented yet and expects me to be her. No way! Not my monkey! That is until I learn of Fircule’s Big Plan to Destroy the Universe. N’arth is just the beginning, Earth is next on his list. The sooner I do what I have to do, the sooner I can get back to Earth and warn it of Fircule’s plan.＜br /＞ The fantasy becomes reality but it’s not that easy. Nuselmir hasn’t got a plan. Just impersonate Raylene. Great. And there’s so much he doesn’t tell me, like why nobody likes Raylene. Not only have I been transported to a new place I’ve got no friends and I can’t sing. It’s tough, really tough. Except for the training with the sword, that I do pretty well at. BTW, Sword Master is not impressed when I searched the armoury and choose the king’s boyhood sword.＜br /＞ Things go from tough to unbearable when my ‘father’ King Alexander visits Nuselmir’s island keep and tries to get me killedーtwice. Oh, and thanks Nuselmir but, if I die on N’arth that’s it. I’m dead. The king leaves the keep believing I’m dead and this is the thing that changes everybody’s mind about me. So, I don’t actually have friends, but I do have respect and loyalty from the servants and soldiers and this inspires me to look out for them.＜br /＞ If the king finds out I’m still alive...＜br /＞ I search maps and plans and eventually find a place for us all to escape to, a cave accessed through a secret passage that starts in my room. We barely get away before the king’s assassins strike.＜br /＞ Five of us. Me, of course. Yannah, my maid and Raylene’s childhood friend. Dieter, a bastard kitchen hand. Brghyn a humanoid alien. And an unconscious Nuselmir.＜br /＞ We can’t do anything to rouse Nuselmir and decide to find the Red One, a reclusive healer who might live near the Ridge, where Brghyn’s race live. It’s my idea to disguise ourselves and hopefully avoid detection on the road by the king’s soldiers.＜br /＞ The journey is fraught with danger and deprivation, but we eventually make it to the city of Pleth, where I meet a really old guy called Sim. In a soundproof room, he teaches me the Last Song, embeds a clear crystal in my sword, and dies.＜br /＞ Fircule must have heard the singingーwhich isn’t surprising because he’s the one who used a Dron to stop singing in the first place. He sends his mate Herlon to grab me, only I’m with Yannah this time, and takes us to Herlon’s Nodal Mines. We are three months in the mines where the task of killing the life source of N’arth nearly kills me.＜br /＞ Why do I obey Herlon?＜br /＞ How do we escape?＜br /＞ Do Brghyn, Dieter and Nuselmir find the Red One.＜br /＞ What happened to the real Raylene?＜br /＞ Why me?＜br /＞ Who saves N’arth?＜br /＞ Read The Lost to join me on my adventure and find the answers to these questions.＜/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: Survivors of the Clotilda: The Lost Stories of the Last Captives of the American Slave Trade著者: Hannah Durkin出版社: Amistad出版日: 2024年01月30日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。Joining the ranks of Rebecca Skloot's The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and Zora Neale Hurston's rediscovered classic Barracoon, an immersive and revelatory history of the Clotilda, the last slave ship to land on US soil, told through the stories of its survivors--the last documented survivors of any slave ship--whose lives diverged and intersected in profound ways.The Clotilda, the last slave ship to land on American soil, docked in Mobile Bay, Alabama, in July 1860--more than half a century after the passage of a federal law banning the importation of captive Africans, and nine months before the beginning of the Civil War. The last of its survivors lived well into the twentieth century. They were the last witnesses to the final act of a terrible and significant period in world history.In this epic work, Dr. Hannah Durkin tells the stories of the Clotilda's 110 captives, drawing on her intensive archival, historical, and sociological research. The Survivors of the Clotilda follows their lives from their kidnappings in what is modern-day Nigeria through a terrifying 45-day journey across the Middle Passage; from the subsequent sale of the ship's 103 surviving children and young people into slavery across Alabama to the dawn of the Civil Rights movement in Selma; from the foundation of an all-Black African Town (later Africatown) in Northern Mobile--an inspiration for writers of the Harlem Renaissance, including Zora Neale Hurston--to the foundation of the quilting community of Gee's Bend--a Black artistic circle whose cultural influence remains enormous.An astonishing, deeply compelling tapestry of history, biography, and social commentary, The Survivors of the Clotilda is a tour de force that deepens our knowledge and understanding of the Black experience and of America and its tragic past. The Survivors of the Clotilda includes 30 artworks and photographs.

【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！】Not Till We Are Lost Poems【電子書籍】[ William Wenthe ]

＜p＞William Wenthe's second collection of poetry is a personal amplification of a passage from Henry Thoreau's Walden, "Not till we are lost, in other words, not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations." Beginning with the necessary dislocation and loss that accompany adulthood, these strong and moving poems tell a story of a man's losing his way in the midst of personal tragedies -- the death of his parents and the end of a marriage -- only to discover the true depth of his connection with others and ultimately with the divine. In a variety of free verse, traditional forms, and sonnets, the poet begins to reassess his life and his art and considers the possibility that language may distance us from the real as much as bind us to it.＜br /＞ Both deeply personal and powerfully spiritual, Not Till We Are Lost strives toward the rediscovery of relations -- to family and lover, to culture, to environment. Whether in a desert canyon or a high-rise hotel or wading waist-deep in a river, the poet, solid and honest, is always aware of his ties to history and its artistic representations. The destination, as well as the difficult means of arrival, is love, no mere word but a pain and sweetness in which loss and celebration converge.＜/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 Lost Kings A Contemporary Murder Mystery Shrouded In The Ancient Bloodline Of King David【電子書籍】[ Stephen Moser ]

＜p＞“The Lost Kings” covers the period 16th-24th April 2021. It is a work of fiction, based on a re-interpretation of historical facts relating to the Royal Blood of the descendants of Jesus, known over the centuries as the ‘sang real’/Holy Grail. So in a sense it is a work of current/historical fiction/non-fiction spanning two millenia. It opens with the immediate aftermath of the crucifixion of Jesus, the direct descendant of King David and therefore the legitimate pretender to the throne of Israel as well as a Prophet of God. The book finishes with the installation of his direct descendant as Pope Jesus II, who after the passage of two millenia finally brings together the temporal and religious succession to both King David and Jesus. Our hero is David Whitecastle. He, like Ian Fleming and his creation James Bond, had a Scottish father and Swiss mother, attended Fettes College in Edinburgh, and was in a special unit of the armed forces. David is an Oxbridge graduate who joined Jardine Matheson, the Princely Hong immortalised both by its history as the most powerful foreign trading house in Asia, and more recently through the novels of the late James Clavel, whom I got to know and who initiated me into the dark art of story-telling. Through David, the reader meets the larger than life but enigmatic Monseigneur Sobieski, as well as the delightful Anna who turns out to be much more than just pleasing on the eye. The cast includes the 82 year old Madame Fatin who longs to share a secret which has eluded even the most ardent seekers of the hidden truths of Rennes-le-Chateau. Through her we meet the dyed-in-the-wool but confused SS colonel whose uncle Adolf Hitler has entrusted him with a family lineage quest of his own. She also reveals the secret identity and story of Marie who fathered twin sons whose offspring have the most legitimate claim to the throne of the Lost Kings. Then our journey takes us to the corridors of power in Paris and Vienna which have consistently sought out, adopted and used for their own ends the current representatives of the ancient bloodline of David. The book begins with an apparently open-and-shut homicide in the Vatican. But as the story unfolds it takes the reader on a truly secret and magical whirlwind tour of history, the world and Mankind itself, embracing the ancient Jewish Kingdom of Septimanie in southern France as well as the Visigoth, Merovingian, Carolingian and Habsburg dynasties. It is also a truly inside look at the machinations from its inception of the Church of Rome and its rival factions, through the eyes of some of the key people who have shaped European and world history, politics and religion. It transpires that there are two living descendants of the original undiluted bloodline, whose existence has not been revealed even to those who considered themselves its custodians and protectors over the centuries. The story culminates in a papal election where the two main contenders are, unbeknownst to themselves, the progeny of twin brothers and the current claimants to the most legitimate bloodline of the House of David. The book finishes on an upbeat note. It seems that the winds of change may finally be beginning to blow away the ancient cobwebs which over the centuries have blighted even the most high-minded of religious leaders and organisations, and so in turn failed to fulfil what the average person expects and needs from them. The book is intended to give readers a new, refreshing, but provocative interpretation of the evolution of our culture and civilisation, and in the process stimulate the little grey cells and encourage each one of us to critically and conscientiously re-appraise some of the supposedly self-evident truths which we have taken for granted. It is my hope that this will lead to greater awareness and understanding of ourselves and our place in things. I also hope that this cocktail of light-hearted banter, unexpected love, adventure, mystery, deceit, and epicurean delights will also allow the reader to have fun in the process.＜/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＞＜strong＞A Jungian analyst examines masculine identity and the psychological repercussions of ‘fatherlessness’ーwhether literal, spiritual, or emotionalーin the baby boom generation＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞An experience of the fragility of conventional images of masculinity is something many modern men share. Psychoanalyst Guy Corneau traces this experience to an even deeper feeling men have of their fathers’ silence or absenceーsometimes literal, but especially emotional and spiritual. Why is this feeling so profound in the lives of the postwar “baby boom” generationーmen who are now approaching middle age? Because, he says, this generation marks a critical phase in the loss of the masculine initiation rituals that in the past ensured a boy’s passage into manhood.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In his engaging examination of the many different ways this missing link manifests in men's lives, Corneau shows that, for men today, regaining the essential “second birth” into manhood lies in gaining the ability to be a father to themselvesーnot only as a means of healing psychological pain, but as a necessary step in the process of becoming whole.＜/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！】Lost in Distortion Keys to Keeping Your Spiritual Life Pure and Simple【電子書籍】[ Jeffrey A. Crow ]

＜p＞We live in a world where everything gets distorted. Sometimes it is unintentional, due to the passage of time and the minds inability to accurately recall the real facts. Sometimes it is on purpose, whether to feed an ego, improve ones image, realize financial gain or to control others. Sometimes it is a combination of these. Regardless of the reasons, to successfully navigate life without being lost in naivety and living under the control of someone elses motives, one must constantly evaluate and question everything, including things often presented as facts. While there is only one set of real facts in terms of spiritual truth, these facts are hard to come by, and so through time, man has created various views of these spiritual facts. Each religion claims for itself the real truth. Only by getting past the distortions brought by various religions can we begin to see the real truth. The real truth lies beneath the surface and it is here we will find it.＜/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。
