Bob Dylan wrote the classic song “Day of the Locusts” in homage and Matt Groening’s Homer Simpson is named after one of its characters. No novel more perfectly captures the nuttier side of Hollywood.

Airborne Armour Tetrarch, Locust, Hamilcar and the 6th Airborne Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment 1938-50【電子書籍】[ Keith Flint ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Despite all the works on airborne forces published since 1945, the full story of Britain's 'airborne armour' has remained untold. This book is intended to correct that omission. The story has two main strands - the project to fly tanks onto the battlefield to support airborne forces, and the history of the unit which operated those tanks and supported 6th Airborne Division in the ground role - the 6th Airborne Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment. The book is the result of considerable original research and contact with surviving members of 6th AARR. It contains the full development background of both airborne tanks, the British Tetrarch and American Locust, and also that of the Hamilcar glider. It examines rival or complimentary projects, in particular the German Me 321 Gigant glider, and analyses the extent to which the British airborne armour project was a success. The history of 6th AARR is traced back to the little known Special Service Squadrons of the RAC which were pioneers of armoured amphibious assault, and who saw action in the invasion of Madagascar in 1942. One of these squadrons became the Airborne Light Tank Squadron, which grew into the Airborne Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment in time for D-Day. This unit flew 20 Tetrarch tanks into battle on the evening of D-Day in the first ever assault landing of tanks from the air, and did the same 10 months later when 8 Locust tanks were landed as part of the massive Rhine crossing operation. 6th AARR also had a proud history in ground combat in Normandy, the Ardennes, and Germany, often forming the spearhead for the advance of 6th Airborne Division. The unit has a fair claim to be the 'forgotten regiment' of British airborne forces, a fate which this book aims to put right. Airborne Armour describes and analyses a unique unit of the British army and some unique military operations.＜/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。	2,642円
The Day of the Locust A Gritty Exploration of Hollywood's Dark Underbelly and the Disintegration of the American Dream【電子書籍】[ Nathanael West ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Nathanael West's "The Day of the Locust" is a searing critique of the American Dream set against the backdrop of Hollywood in the late 1930s. Through a surreal and gritty narrative style, West encapsulates the disillusionment of aspiring actors and dreamers, weaving their fragmented lives into a tapestry of desperation and futility. The novel's striking imagery and dark humor illuminate the grotesque reality beneath the glitzy facade of Tinseltown, reflecting broader societal anxieties during the Great Depression'??a time when hope often collided with harsh reality. Nathanael West, born in 1903, emerged from the culturally vibrant milieu of New York City, honing his craft as a writer and screenwriter. His personal experiences in the film industry, coupled with a keen awareness of the socio-economic crises of his time, deeply influenced the creation of this novel. West's own struggles with identity and ambition are mirrored in the lives of his characters, offering a poignant exploration of artistic aspiration and disillusionment in an increasingly materialistic society. This compelling novel is essential for readers who seek a profound understanding of the paradoxes of American society. Its blend of incisive commentary and vivid storytelling makes "The Day of the Locust" not only a seminal work of modern American literature but also a timeless reflection on ambition, identity, and the human condition.＜/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。	310円

Miss Lonelyhearts & The Day of the Locust (New Edition)【電子書籍】[ Nathanael West ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞"A primer for Big Bad City disillusionment, unsparing in its portrayal of New York's debilitating entropy."ー＜em＞The Village Voice＜/em＞. With a new introduction by Jonathan Lethem.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞First published in 1933, Miss Lonelyhearts remains one of the most shocking works of 20th century American literature, as unnerving as a glob of black bile vomited up at a church social: empty, blasphemous, and horrific. Set in New York during the Depression and probably West's most powerful work, ＜em＞Miss Lonelyhearts＜/em＞ concerns a nameless man assigned to produce a newspaper advice column ー but as time passes he begins to break under the endless misery of those who write in, begging him for advice. Unable to find answers, and with his shaky Christianity ridiculed to razor-edged shards by his poisonous editor, he tumbles into alcoholism and a madness fueled by his own spiritual emptiness.＜/p＞＜p＞During his years in Hollywood West wrote ＜em＞The Day of the Locust＜/em＞, a study of the fragility of illusion. Many critics consider it with F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished masterpiece ＜em＞The Last Tycoon＜/em＞ (1941) among the best novels written about Hollywood. Set in Hollywood during the Depression, the narrator, Tod Hackett, comes to California in the hope of a career as a painter for movie backdrops but soon joins the disenchanted second-rate actors, technicians, laborers and other characters living on the fringes of the movie industry. Tod tries to seduce Faye Greener; she is seventeen. Her protector is an old man named Homer Simpson. Tod finds work on a film called prophetically “The Burning of Los Angeles,” and the dark comic tale ends in an apocalyptic mob riot outside a Hollywood premiere, as the system runs out of control.＜/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。	2,149円
Nathanael West and John Schlesinger: 'The Day of the Locust' - A Survey of the Translation from Novel to Film A Survey of the Translation from Novel to Film【電子書籍】[ Julia Deitermann ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Seminar paper from the year 2001 in the subject American Studies - Comparative Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Augsburg (Lehrstuhl f?r Amerikanistik), course: Proseminar: Novels of the American Modernism, 9 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Although Nathanael West's novel The Day of the Locust did not receive much attention when published in 1939, it is today considered one of the best and most revealing novels about Hollywood. Its reviews are outstanding and it has therefore become one of the landmarks in American writing. The Day of the Locust demonstrates the fragility of the American Dream and presents it from various perspectives. It points out the cruel world of film industry using devices of irony and satire. Therefore it resembles a 'nightmare vision of humanity destroyed by its obsession with film'. West took the title of the novel from the Bible. In Revelation, people turn into locusts in order to follow their aim of destroying the whole world. They do not kill immediately, though, but only sting and hurt in order to let their victims die slowly. These locusts can be compared to the film industry in Hollywood which also exploits and slowly kills its people. Besides, in the Bible Jeremiah prophesies a necessary ending of the world which ought to lead mankind to a new life and a rebirth. In the novel, this image is taken up again. This aspect will be thoroughly discussed later, though. The concept of apocalypse can be found throughout the novel and beside violence and decadence, the devaluation of love is a prominent theme, too. West illustrates the moral decay of characters on the fringe of the entertainment industry, that are Homer Simpson, Faye Greener and Tod Hackett. Each character has come to California seeking fame or health in the shining city Los Angeles, and each suffers from his or her own history of desperation and shattered dreams. Producers had already thought about turning West's novel into a film in the early 1950's. As they feared that most of the satirical view would get lost, however, the film was not shot until 1974, when the famous director John Schlesinger committed himself to the adaptation. [...] This survey focuses on the translation from novel to film, compares and contrasts differences, and reveals the different perspectives of the characters. Furthermore, it will both examine the use of film techniques in Schlesinger's adaptation and the meaning of symbolism in the film. Last but not least, a few commonly invoked critical viewpoints of the film will be discussed.＜/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。	1,763円

The Day of the Locust - Nathanael West【電子書籍】[ Nathanael West ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞Nathanael West＜/strong＞, originally named Nathan Weinstein, (1903 ? 1940), was an American writer, primarily known for his satirical novels of the 1930s. His best-known works are "The Day of the Locust" and "Miss Lonelyhearts." Published in 1939, " ＜strong＞The Day of the Locust＜/strong＞" is a novel about the mythologies of Hollywood and the "American Dream." Enigmatic and disconcerting, this work narrates the experience of a set designer in a semi-hallucinatory and artificial Los Angeles (itself resembling a movie set), inhabited by a parade of eccentric characters and a crowd bewitched by the magic of cinema and promises of abundance and happiness. Both apocalyptic and moving, violent and absurdly comic, " ＜strong＞The Day of the Locust" is, in the opinion of many, the best novel ever written about Hollywood.＜/strong＞＜/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。	300円
Locust The Devastating Rise and Mysterious Disappearance of the Insect that Shaped the American Frontier【電子書籍】[ Jeffrey A. Lockwood ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Throughout the nineteenth century, swarms of locusts regularly swept across the continent, turning noon into dusk, demolishing farm communities, and bringing trains to a halt as the crushed bodies of insects greased the rails. In 1876, the U.S. Congress declared the locust "the single greatest impediment to the settlement of the country." From the Dakotas to Texas, from California to Iowa, the swarms pushed thousands of settlers to the brink of starvation, prompting the federal government to enlist some of the greatest scientific minds of the day and thereby jumpstarting the fledgling science of entomology. Over the next few decades, the Rocky Mountain locust suddenly -- and mysteriously -- vanished. A century later, Jeffrey Lockwood set out to discover why. Unconvinced by the reigning theories, he searched for new evidence in musty books, crumbling maps, and crevassed glaciers, eventually piecing together the elusive answer: A group of early settlers unwittingly destroyed the locust's sanctuaries just as the insect was experiencing a natural population crash. Drawing on historical accounts and modern science, Locust brings to life the cultural, economic, and political forces at work in America in the late-nineteenth century, even as it solves one of the greatest ecological mysteries 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。	1,213円
Desert Locust Plagues Controlling the Ancient Scourge【電子書籍】[ Colin Everard ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞For thousands of years, humans have found themselves vulnerable to plagues of desert locusts. Some fifty countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia have been ravaged, at one time or another, by huge, devouring swarms of locusts. With the consequent, often total, destruction of crops and grazing, widespread hunger and starvation ensued. Colin Everard's book takes as its geographical focus the Horn of Africa, an area which throughout history has suffered catastrophically from locust plagues. Based on his own extensive experience in the region, Everard describes one of the greatest (albeit unsung) triumphs of the twentieth century, namely, how the desert locust scourge has, at last, been virtually brought under control.＜/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。	3,473円

Beyond Natural Selection Locust Plasticity, Orchestrated Objective Reduction & Morphogenic Fields【電子書籍】[ Sajeepan Arikaran ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Is natural selection the sole driving force of evolution, or are deeper mechanisms at play? Beyond Natural Selection challenges the conventional Darwinian framework by exploring alternative and complementary processes that shape life’s complexityーranging from environmental plasticity and quantum consciousness to morphogenic fields and self-organizing systems.＜/p＞＜p＞This book examines the astonishing adaptability of species, such as the phase shifts of locusts, to reveal how organisms dynamically respond to their environments beyond genetic mutation alone. It also delves into Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR) as a potential bridge between consciousness and biological evolution, proposing that quantum effects may influence adaptation at a fundamental level. Additionally, it explores Rupert Sheldrake’s concept of morphogenic fields, suggesting that collective memory and nonlocal information may guide developmental patterns in ways that transcend traditional genetics.＜/p＞＜p＞Blending insights from evolutionary biology, quantum theory, and systems thinking, Beyond Natural Selection offers a groundbreaking perspective on life’s evolutionーone that extends beyond mere survival toward an intricate dance of intelligence, structure, and emergent order.＜/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。	710円

The Day of the Locust【電子書籍】[ Nathanael West ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Nathanael West's "The Day of the Locust" emerges as a compelling exploration of the disillusionment and despair lurking beneath the glitzy fa?ade of 1930s Hollywood. With a narrative steeped in dark satire, West employs an innovative literary style characterized by vivid imagery and surrealistic elements, reflecting the chaotic ambitions and inner turmoil of his characters. The novel captures the societal malaise of the Great Depression, illustrating the stark juxtaposition between the American Dream and its haunting realities, particularly through the experiences of those who flock to the film industry in search of fame and fortune. Nathanael West, a pivotal figure in American literature, drew from his own experiences in the tumultuous world of early Hollywood while crafting this seminal work. Born to a well-to-do Jewish family in New York City, West faced early setbacks in his career as a playwright and novelist. His keen observations of the entertainment industry's superficiality and existential crises informed his portrayals of the desperate souls seeking validation in a world increasingly dominated by the disillusioning promise of cinema. For readers interested in the intersection of literature and society, "The Day of the Locust" serves as a timeless allegory of ambition, desperation, and the human condition. West's incisive critique of American culture offers not only a potent narrative but a mirror reflecting the ongoing struggles with dreams and reality. This novel invites readers to ponder the darker aspects of desire and the cost of relentless aspiration.＜/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。	310円
