<p>Set mainly in a remote westerly tip of Ireland in the 1940s and '50s, this stunning new novel from one of Canada's bestselling authors is at once intimate and epic in scope.</p> <p>Tam, an Englishwoman, has been living in this harshly beautiful region since shortly after World War II, in which she served as an auxiliary pilot. She is now leaving her lover, Niall, who, like his father before him, is a meteorologist. On her way to New York, the airliner she is traveling on becomes grounded by heavy fog at Gander Airport in Newfoundland. As she waits for the fog to clear, she notices an enigmatic mural that moves her to revisit not only the circumstances that brought her to Ireland but her intense relationship with Niall and his growing despondency over the disappearance of his younger brother, Kieran.</p> <p>We learn of Kieran's troubled childhood and of the tragedy that caused him as a boy to be separated from his family and taken in by a widowed countrywoman who lives in the mountains. There he comes to know the local people, among them a tailor, a fisherman-teacher, and a sheep farmer who is an astonishing philosopher. There is also the jeweler's daughter, a young woman who will come to change the course of several lives.<br /> Running parallel is the story of the painter Kenneth Lochhead and his creation of the mural at Gander that is Tam's only companion through three long days and nights.</p> <p>An elegiac novel of unusual emotional depth, <em>The Night Stages</em> explores the meaning of separation, the sorrows of fractured families, and the profound effect of Ireland's wild and elemental landscape on lives shaped by its beauty. It is Jane Urquhart's richest, most rewarding novel to date.</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。 The Night Stages A Novel【電子書籍】[ Jane Urquhart ] 1,089 円

<p>Jimmy Bullard may not have had the perfect hair-do, his Granada Ghia may not have been the flashiest of cars, and he definitely didn't have a string of Page 3 girls trying to sell kiss and tell stories about him to the tabloids. But what he has in spades is a genuine love for The Beautiful Game that few of his peers can match. One of the last graduates from football's old school, Jimmy actually worked in the real world - including as a painter and decorator - before turning pro. Maybe that's why he played football with a smile on his face, always says what's on his mind, and is no stranger to a spot of mischief.</p> <p>Having played under the likes of Barry Fry, Harry Redknapp and Phil Brown, appeared alongside names as diverse as Neil Ruddock and Paolo di Canio, and as long as Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, Jimmy has racked up an amazing collection of tales and pranks both on and off the football front-line. Told with candour, <em>Bend It Like Bullard</em> is the extraordinary story of his journey from cable TV fitter to cult hero.

Josh is travelling with Ramon Hernandez, his best friend and the man who had fought with him. Where they are going, he isn't quite sure. His home is in ashesーburned by either the retreating Texans or the advancing Mexican Armyーand the land is full of bandits and opportunists who would happily shoot Ramon simply because he is Mexican. Exiles in the land they had fought to liberate, Josh and Ramon struggle to rebuild their lives after the bugles.</p> <p><em><strong>Llano River</strong></em><br /> When former cattle man Dundee wanders into the town of Titusville, he's broke, tired, and itching for a fight.

But for Titus, it isn't enough that Dundee find the missing cattle. He wants to place the blame on a specific person: Blue Roan Hardesty, a one-time friend turned sworn enemy of the powerful Titus clan.

<p>From a corpus of Greek epics known in antiquity as the "Epic Cycle," six poems dealt with the same Trojan War mythology as the Homeric poems. Though they are now lost, these poems were much read and much discussed in ancient times, not only for their content but for their mysterious relationship with the more famous works attributed to Homer. In Device and Composition in the Greek Epic Cycle, Benjamin Sammons shows that these lost poems belonged, compositionally, to essentially the same tradition as the Homeric poems. He demonstrates that various compositional devices well-known from the Homeric epics were also fundamental to the narrative construction of these later works. Yet while the "cyclic" poets constructed their works using the same traditional devices as Homer, they used these to different ends and with different results. Sammons argues that the essential difference between cyclic and Homeric poetry lies not in the fundamental building blocks from which they are constructed, but in the scale of these components relative to the overall construction of poems. This sheds important light on the early history of epic as a genre, since it is likely that these devices originally developed to provide large-scale structure to shorter poems and have been put to quite different use in the composition of the monumental Homeric epics. Along the way Sammons sheds new light on the overall form of lost cyclic epics and on the meaning and context of the few surviving verse fragments.</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。 Device and Composition in the Greek Epic Cycle【電子書籍】[ Benjamin Sammons ] 15,322 円

<p>Die vier Geschichten in diesem Buch berichten von Kinderschicksalen, wie sie uns jederzeit im allt?glichen Leben begegnen k?nnen: Markus' Mutter heiratet zum zweiten Mal; Edgars Gro?vater stirbt; Brunhilde muss sich um Geschwister und Haushalt k?mmern; Siegfried schafft das Schulpensum nicht. Dies sind die Anl?sse der Schwierigkeiten, die sich f?r die Kinder ergeben. Nichts Ungew?hnliches also! Und dennoch sind es ungew?hnliche Geschichten von eigenartigem Reiz, spannend und anr?hrend. Man kommt diesen Kindern nahe, m?chte gerne mehr von ihnen erfahren - denkt ?ber sie nach. Ihr Schicksal erweckt unsere Anteilnahme. INHALT: Der andere Name Edgar Ein Apfel f?r Frau Holle LESEPROBE: Am n?chsten Morgen erwartete die Mutter ihn wie ?blich am Fr?hst?ckstisch. Der Vater war schon zur Arbeit in den Kuhstall gefahren.Die Mutter sa? auf ihrem Platz, dem gepolsterten Hocker am Tischende. Sie rief Siegfried zu sich und nahm sein Gesicht zwischen ihre H?nde. 'Siegfried, die Lehrerin hat gesagt, dass du vielleicht nicht versetzt wirst. Weil du noch nicht richtig lesen und schreiben kannst ... Dann musst du im Herbst noch einmal in die erste Klasse. Das willst du doch nicht, Siegfried! Nicht wahr?!' Siegfried sch?ttelte erwartungsgem?? den Kopf. Es war ihm aber anzusehen, dass er nicht recht wusste, warum er sich vor dieser Wiederholung f?rchten sollte. Die Mutter sprach eindringlich auf ihn ein: 'Damit du nicht sitzen bleibst, m?ssen wir jetzt wieder jeden Tag ganz flei?ig ?ben. Ja?!' Siegfried nickte und fragte: 'Wo soll ich nicht sitzen?' 'Ach, Siegfried, ich glaube, du begreifst das alles gar nicht.' Siegfried nickte wieder und wollte sich setzen. Die Mutter winkte ihn mit einer Kopfbewegung noch einmal zu sich. Sie legte ihm die H?nde auf die Schultern. 'In der ?bern?chsten Woche m?ssen wir beide in die Stadt fahren. Drei Tage lang. Du sollst wieder untersucht werden.' Siegfried sah sie erwartungsvoll an. Er fuhr gern in die Stadt. Die Mutter gab ihm einen leichten, z?rtlichen Klaps auf den R?cken. 'Jetzt fr?hst?ckst du erst mal.' Sie reichte ihm die Butter, die Marmelade zu, schenkte ihm Milch ein. Sie behandelte ihn, als ob er krank sei, und lie?, w?hrend er a?, ihren f?rsorglichen und beunruhigten Blick nicht von ihm.</p> <p>Jutta Schlott wurde 1944 in Kolberg - heute Polen - geboren und wuchs an unterschiedlichen Orten in Mecklenburg auf.

<p>It is the eve of destruction.<br /> Gaul seethes and bucks more than ever in revolt against the Roman invader, with even Caesar's allies beginning to question their loyalty. A conspiracy of Druids and Kings move the pieces into position in their great game of independence, all led by the powerful Arverni exile Vercingetorix. The lands of the Belgae burn in the vengeful aftermath of a winter that saw countless Romans butchered by the rebel Eburone King: Ambiorix.<br /> As Rome similarly begins to show its cracks and the triumvirate of powerful men that have held together the crumbling Republic move ever further apart, so Fronto returns to the army, once more seeking his command under the great general.<br /> But Caesar has made a vow to men and Gods alike to end the life of Ambiorix, and naught will stand in the way of that vow's completion - not Gaul, nor Roman, nor reason itself. As the world climbs towards the impending cataclysm, Fronto finds himself thrust with a small group of companions into the gloomy and dangerous sacred forest of his enemy in a hunt for the one man who can halt the general's wrath and fulfill Caesar's vow.</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。 Marius' Mules VI: Caesar's Vow【電子書籍】[ S.J.A.

<DIV>Wordsmiths unite! This new book is tailor-made for everyone who enjoys the English language. Author Peter Gordon has transformed a formidable collection of adages, pop phrases, advertising slogans, and book and song titles into hilariously obfuscated aphorisms he calls "Smart Speak." After all, when it comes to communication, why take the direct approach when a wordy one will do? <BR><BR><I>Verbiage for the Verbose</I> challenges readers to test their knowledge of their mother tongue by unraveling Gordon's verbose verbiage. Consider, for example, the author's take on these familiar sayings: Display to me the legal tender (Show me the money). Do not enumerate one's domestic fowls prior to the end of their incubation period (Don't count your chickens before they are hatched). A prickly-stemmed, pinnate-leaved, showy flower called something else would have the same pleasant fragrance (A rose by any other name would smell as sweet). ?<BR><BR>Sometimes obscure, always amusing, <I>Verbiage for the Verbose</I> entertainingly illustrates the importance of using concise yet catchy words. After all as author Gordon points out, if Bart Simpson went around saying, "Produce not a bovine, sir", instead of "Don't have a cow, man," would he have become nearly as popular? Would Bob Dylan have hit the pop charts with "Undulating in the Zephyr" instead of "Blowin' in the Wind"?</div>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。 Verbiage for the Verbose Unravel Over 250 Fun Word Challenges【電子書籍】[ Peter Gordon ] 567 円

<p>This epic, dynastic novel sweeps across more than half a century of passion, hatred, friendship and fear??tracing the entwined fortunes of two families in Palestine: one Arab, one Jewish. From the day in the late nineteenth century, when a young Hammadi boy and two Nouari brothers meet on the road to Jerusalem and form a partnership, there seems no limit to the growth of their banking empire. Together they conquer the international markets: London, Paris and New York, until a hidden crack threatens their apparently unshakeable friendship: The Zionist dream of Israel seeking reality.</p> <p>The beauty of the novel is that it offers an objective view of the confrontation, showing both sides of the question without offending the sensibilities of either Jew or Arab. In fact, it provides a tantalizing view of what might happen in Palestine if the Arabs and Jews who had lived side-by-side for hundreds, even thousands of years, had been able to work out their problems without outside interference.</p> <p>In addition to the accurate portrayal of a people caught up in the sweep of history, THE OFFER delivers a timeless message with a hope for peace, to a new generation. There are many weapons for peace. This book is one of them.</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。 The Offer【電子書籍】[ Pat Silver-Lasky ] 660 円

<p>In 1959, the year Terry Galloway turned nine, the voices of everyone she loved began to disappear. No one yet knew that an experimental antibiotic given to her mother had wreaked havoc on her fetal nervous system, eventually causing her to go deaf. As a self-proclaimed "child freak," she acted out her fury with her boxy hearing aids and Coke-bottle glasses by faking her own drowning at a camp for crippled children. Ever since that first real-life performance, Galloway has used theater, whether onstage or off, to defy and transcend her reality. With disarming candor, she writes about her mental breakdowns, her queer identity, and living in a silent, quirky world populated by unforgettable characters. What could have been a bitter litany of complaint is instead an unexpectedly hilarious and affecting take on life.</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。 Mean Little deaf Queer A Memoir【電子書籍】[ Terry Galloway ] 1,923 円

<p>Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. They form a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century.</p> <p>The stories were written when Irish nationalism was at its peak, and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences. They centre on Joyce's idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character experiences a life-changing self-understanding or illumination, and the idea of paralysis where Joyce felt Irish nationalism stagnated cultural progression, placing Dublin at the heart of this regressive movement. Many of the characters in Dubliners later appear in minor roles in Joyce's novel Ulysses. The initial stories in the collection are narrated by child protagonists, and as the stories continue, they deal with the lives and concerns of progressively older people. This is in line with Joyce's tripartite division of the collection into childhood, adolescence and maturity.</p> <p>Between 1905, when Joyce first sent a manuscript to a publisher, and 1914, when the book was finally published, Joyce submitted the book 18 times to a total of 15 publishers. The London house of Grant Richards agreed to publish it in 1905. Its printer, however, refused to set one of the stories ("Two Gallants"), and Richards then began to press Joyce to remove a number of other passages that he claimed the printer also refused to set. Joyce protested, but eventually did agree to some of the requested changes. Richards eventually backed out of the deal. Joyce thereupon resubmitted the manuscript to other publishers, and about three years later (1909) he found a willing candidate in Maunsel & Roberts of Dublin. Yet, a similar controversy developed and Maunsel too refused to publish it, even threatening to sue Joyce for printing costs already incurred. Joyce offered to pay the printing costs himself if the sheets were turned over to him and he was allowed to complete the job elsewhere and distribute the book, but when Joyce arrived at the printers they refused to surrender the sheets. They burned them the next day. Joyce managed to save one copy, which he obtained "by ruse". He then returned to submitting the manuscript to other publishers, and in 1914 Grant Richards once again agreed to publish the book, using the page proofs saved from Maunsel as copy.
