<p><strong>“[<em>Our Town</em>] leaves us with a sense of blessing, and the unspoken but palpable command to achieve gratitude in what remains of our days on earth.” ー <em>The New Yorker</em></strong></p> <p><strong>Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama of life in the mythical village of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshireーan allegorical representation of all lifeーis an American classic.

When Emily loses her life during childbirth, the circle of life portrayed in each of the three actsーchildhood, adulthood, and deathーis fully realized.</p> <p>Widely considered one of the greatest American plays of all time, <em>Our Town</em> debuted on Broadway in 1938 and continues to be performed daily on stages around the world.

Waiting for Godot A Tragicomedy in Two Acts【電子書籍】[ Samuel Beckett ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Performed across the globe by some of the world's most iconic performers, Samuel Beckett's indelible masterpiece remains an unwavering testament of what it means to be human.</strong></p> <p>From an inauspicious beginning at the tiny Left Bank Theatre de Babylone in 1953, followed by bewilderment among American and British audiences, <em>Waiting for Godot</em> has become of the most important and enigmatic plays of the past fifty years and a cornerstone of twentieth-century drama. As Clive Barnes wrote, “Time catches up with genius … <em>Waiting for Godot</em> is one of the masterpieces of the century.”</p> <p>The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someoneーor somethingーnamed Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a tree, inhabiting a drama spun of their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as mankind’s inexhaustible search for meaning. Beckett’s language pioneered an expressionistic minimalism that captured the existential post-World War II Europe. His play remains one of the most magical and beautiful allegories of our time.</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。 1,190円

Acts of Union and Disunion【電子書籍】[ Linda Colley ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The United Kingdom; Great Britain; the British Isles; the Home Nations: such a wealth of different names implies uncertainty and contention - and an ability to invent and adjust. In a year that sees a Scottish referendum on independence, Linda Colley analyses some of the forces that have unified Britain in the past.</p> <p>She examines the mythology of Britishness, and how far - and why - it has faded. She discusses the Acts of Union with Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and their limitations, while scrutinizing England's own fractures. And she demonstrates how the UK has been shaped by movement: of British people to other countries and continents, and of people, ideas and influences arriving from elsewhere.</p> <p>As acts of union and disunion again become increasingly relevant to our daily lives and politics, Colley considers how - if at all - the pieces might be put together anew, and what this might mean.</p> <p>Based on a 15-part BBC Radio 4 series.</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。 1,349円

From Utterances to Speech Acts【電子書籍】[ Mikhail Kissine ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Most of the time our utterances are automatically interpreted as speech acts: as assertions, conjectures and testimonies; as orders, requests and pleas; as threats, offers and promises. Surprisingly, the cognitive correlates of this essential component of human communication have received little attention. This book fills the gap by providing a model of the psychological processes involved in interpreting and understanding speech acts. The theory is framed in naturalistic terms and is supported by data on language development and on autism spectrum disorders. Mikhail Kissine does not presuppose any specific background and addresses a crucial pragmatic phenomenon from an interdisciplinary perspective. This is a valuable resource for academic researchers and graduate and undergraduate students in pragmatics, semantics, cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics and philosophy of language.</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。 6,875円

Mistakes were made (but not by me): Why we justify foolish beliefs, bad decisions and hurtful acts【電子書籍】[ Carol Tavris, Elliot Aronson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why the parade of public figures unable to own up when they make mistakes? Why the endless marital quarrels over who is right? Why can we see hypocrisy in others but not in ourselves? Are we all liars? Or do we really believe the stories we tell? Renowned social psychologists Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson take a compelling look into how the brain is wired for self-justification. When we make mistakes, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth. And so we create fictions that absolve us of responsibility, restoring our belief that we are smart, moral, and righta belief that often keeps us on a course that is dumb, immoral, and wrong. Backed by years of research and delivered in lively, energetic prose, Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) offers a fascinating explanation of self-deceptionhow it works, the harm it can cause, and how we can overcome it.<p>"Fascinating."

Mistakes Were Made (but Not By Me) Third Edition Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts【電子書籍】[ Carol Tavris ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A NEW EDITION UPDATED IN 2020</strong> ? <strong>Why is it so hard to say "I made a mistake"</strong> ー <strong>and really believe it?</strong></p> <p>When we make mistakes, cling to outdated attitudes, or mistreat other people, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth. And so, unconsciously, we create fictions that absolve us of responsibility, restoring our belief that we are smart, moral, and rightーa belief that often keeps us on a course that is dumb, immoral, and wrong. Backed by decades of research, M<em>istakes Were Made (But Not by Me)</em> offers a fascinating explanation of self-justificationーhow it works, the damage it can cause, and how we can overcome it. Extensively updated, this third edition has many recent and revealing examples, including the application of dissonance theory to divisive social issues such as the Black Lives Matter movement and he said/she said claims. It also features a new chapter that illuminates how cognitive dissonance is playing a role in the currently polarized political scene, changing the nation’s values and putting democracy itself at risk.</p> <p>“Every page sparkles with sharp insight and keen observation. Mistakes were madeーbut not in this book!” ーDaniel Gilbert, author of <em>Stumbling on Happiness</em></p> <p>“A revelatory study of how lovers, lawyers, doctors, politiciansーand all of usーpull the wool over our own eyes . . . Reading it, we recognize the behavior of our leaders, our loved ones, andーif we’re honestーourselves, and some of the more perplexing mysteries of human nature begin to seem a little clearer.” ーFrancine Prose, <em>O, The Oprah Magazine</em></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。 1,719円

Wallace or, the Life and Acts of Sir William Wallace, of Ellerslie【電子書籍】[ Henry the Minstrel ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>So little is known, with respect to Henry the Minstrel, that I can scarcely pretend to add any thing to the meagre account which has been given of him by former writers. As we cannot certainly fix the time, we can form no conjecture even as to the place, of his birth. Almost all that can be viewed as an historical record concerning him, is that with which we are supplied by Major. Integrum librum, he says, Guillelmi Vallacei Henricus, a natiuitate luminibus captus, meae infantiae tempore cudit; et qu? vulgo dicebantur, carmine vulgari, in quo peritus erat, conscripsit; (ego autem talibus scriptis solum in parte fidem impertior); qui historiarum recitatione coram principibus victum et vestitum quo dignus erat nactus est. Hist. Lib. IV. c. 15. "Henry, who was blind from his birth, in the time of my infancy composed the whole Book of William Wallace; and committed to writing in vulgar poetry, in which he was well skilled, the things that were commonly related of him. For my own part, I give only partial credit to writings of this description. By the recitation of these, however, in the presence of men of the highest rank, he procured, as he indeed deserved, food and raiment."</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。 200円
