Roth Unbound A Writer and His Books【電子書籍】[ Claudia Roth Pierpont ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A critical evaluation of Philip Rothーthe first of its kindーthat takes on the man, the myth, and the work.</strong></p> <p>Philip Roth is one of the most renowned writers of our time. From his debut, <em>Goodbye, Columbus</em>, which won the National Book Award in 1960, and the explosion of <em>Portnoy's Complaint</em> in 1969 to his haunting reimagining of Anne Frank's story in <em>The Ghost Writer</em> ten years later and the series of masterworks starting in the mid-eightiesー <em>The Counterlife</em>, <em>Patrimony</em>, <em>Operation Shylock</em>, <em>Sabbath's Theater</em>, <em>American Pastoral</em>, <em>The Human Stain</em>ーRoth has produced some of the great American literature of the modern era. <em>Roth Unbound</em> explores this great writer through his art, offering a wealth of previously undisclosed biographical details and previously unpublished material.</p> <p>Claudia Roth Pierpont, a staff writer for <em>The New Yorker</em>, has known Roth for nearly a decade. Her carefully researched and gracefully written account is filled with remarks from Roth himself, drawn from their ongoing conversations. Here are insights and anecdotes that will change the way many readers perceive this most controversial and galvanizing writer: a young and unhappily married Roth struggling to write; a wildly successful Roth, after the uproar over <em>Portnoy</em>, working to help writers from Eastern Europe and to get their books known in the West; Roth responding to the early, Jewishーand the later, feministーattacks on his work. Here are Roth's family, his inspirations, his critics, the full range of his fiction, and his friendships with such figures as Saul Bellow and John Updike.</p> <p><em>Roth Unbound</em> helps us make sense of one of the most vital literary careers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.</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 Life Story of J. Pierpont Morgan A Biography【電子書籍】[ Carl Hovey ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The Wall Street titan J. P. Morgan still bears the name of its founder, who changed and innovated American Finance. Chief financier to such industry leaders Carnegie and Rockefeller enabling their construction of continent spanning empires. He was also at the cutting edge of new and emergent technologies, bankrolling and championing luminaries and visionaries such as Thomas Edison and the Mercurial Nikola Tesla. This is his story…<br /> "IT is to J. Pierpont Morgan, of all living Americans, that the expression of a famous French historian is best appliedーa force of nature; that is what he is, or, it may be better to say, that is what is in him; an immense and unruly power, which is only increased by the obstacles standing in its way. His personality is sometimes compared with that of Theodore Roosevelt, because both are masterful men, who overcome circumstances and silence opposition with crushing ease. Each has proved his possession of a mysterious force, an unconscious force, capable of producing tremendous results. But, after that, they really resemble each other as little as a journalist resembles a man of science, or an evangelist the merchants who are financing his campaign."</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 Great Pierpont Morgan A Biography【電子書籍】[ Frederick Lewis Allen ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A revealing biography of J. P. Morgan, one of the most powerful and enigmatic financiers in history, from bestselling author Frederick Lewis Allen.</strong></p> <p>Celebrated as a titan of industry by some and decried as a monopolizing robber baron by others, John Pierpont Morgan was without a doubt a dominant player in American finance at the turn of the twentieth century. He founded U.S. Steel, a conglomeration of leading steel and iron producers, which was the nation's largest coast-to-coast railroad system, and the first company to be worth more than $1 billion.</p> <p>Morgan was also instrumental in developing the Federal Reserve after working with political leaders to prevent a potentially devastating fiscal crisis in 1907. Indeed, he was a driving force in the modernization of American business, and the effects of his acumen and foresight continue to resonate todayーon Wall Street and beyond.</p> <p>Additionally, known for his displays of wealth and power, Morgan was a prominent figure of the New York society sceneーa member of the original one percentーas well as a notable art connoisseur with a sizable collection now housed in Manhattan's lavish Morgan Library & Museum, once his own private library.</p> <p>In this meticulously researched and comprehensive biography, Frederick Lewis Allen, former editor of <em>Harper's</em> magazine and author of <em>Only Yesterday</em>, delves into the life and character of a fascinating, multidimensional man. Allen also probes the evolution of the business landscape during Morgan's lifetime, when giant corporations with unparalleled economies of scale began to absorb and replace smaller competitors.</p> <p>This richly detailed portrait of a man whose name is inseparable from American finance is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of banking and business history.</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。

Roth desencadenado Un escritor y sus obras【電子書籍】[ Claudia Roth Pierpont ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Roth desencadenado dista de ser una simple biograf?a. Claudia Roth Pierpont explora la mente de Philip Roth en un viaje por la obra de este gran creador, uno de los escritores norteamericanos m?s pol?micos y estimulantes de nuestro tiempo.</strong></p> <p>El lector tiene entre sus manos el primer libro que trata en profundidad la vida y obra de uno de los escritores m?s c?lebres de nuestro tiempo, galardonado con el National Book Award, el Pulitzer y el Pr?ncipe de Asturias de las Letras, y un creador ?nico cuya relevancia se sustenta en una impecable trayectoria literaria que arranc? en los sesenta con Goodbye Columbus y la rompedora El mal de Portnoy, para proseguir con una serie de obras maestras en los ochenta, hasta desembocar en las cuatro novelas breves que componen el ciclo ≪Las n?mesis≫ y que, en palabras del propio Philip Roth, marcan el final de su carrera.</p> <p>A lo largo de sus p?ginas somos testigos de los titubeantes pasos de un joven infelizmente casado que lucha por sacar adelante sus primeros textos. Vemos a un Roth comprometido y a un Roth enfrentado con los estamentos de la religi?n jud?a, al creador controvertido y famoso que se defiende de los constantes ataques a su obra, y lo vemos acompa?ado de sus fuentes de inspiraci?n: cr?ticos, mujeres, familia y amistades de la talla de Saul Bellow, Harold Pinter, Milan Kundera, John Le Carr? o John Updike.</p> <p><strong>La cr?tica ha dicho...</strong><br /> ≪Un equilibrio perfecto entre distancia e intimidad.[...] Desvela y relaciona con mucha habilidad el complicado v?nculo que existe entre las experiencias vitales de Roth y su burlona ficci?n autorreferencial.≫<br /> <em>The Spectator</em></p> <p>≪No estamos ante la t?pica biograf?a est?ndar, sino m?s bien ante una inmersi?n en la figura de Roth desde todos sus ?ngulos, incluso los m?s inesperados. [...] Este libro supone un logro extraordinario.≫<br /> <em>Los Angeles Review of Books</em></p> <p>≪Pierpont sabe trasladar en su texto la admiraci?n y el afecto que siente por Roth sin renunciar a la profundidad cr?tica.≫<br /> <em>The Boston Globe</em></p> <p>≪Un ensayo fascinante y l?cido en su an?lisis. Un libro fundamental que esclarece la obra de Roth.≫<br /> <em>The Economist</em></p> <p>≪Pierpont logra lo que se propone toda buena cr?tica: hacernos leer con nuevos ojos la obra de Roth.≫<br /> <em>Publishers Weekly</em></p> <p>≪Un retrato perspicaz de toda una vida de creaci?n literaria.

American Rhapsody Writers, Musicians, Movie Stars, and One Great Building【電子書籍】[ Claudia Roth Pierpont ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Ranging from the shattered gentility of Edith Wharton's heroines to racial confrontation in the songs of Nina Simone, <em>American Rhapsody</em> presents a kaleidoscopic story of the creation of a culture. Here is a series of deeply involving portraits of American artists and innovators who have helped to shape the country in the modern age.<br /> Claudia Roth Pierpont expertly mixes biography and criticism, history and reportage, to bring these portraits to life and to link them in surprising ways. It isn't far from Wharton's brave new women to F. Scott Fitzgerald's giddy flappers, and on to the big-screen command of Katharine Hepburn and the dangerous dames of Dashiell Hammett's hard-boiled world. The improvisatory jazziness of George Gershwin's <em>Rhapsody in Blue</em> has its counterpart in the great jazz baby of the New York skyline, the Chrysler Building. Questions of an American acting style are traced from Orson Welles to Marlon Brando, while the new American painting emerges in the gallery of Peggy Guggenheim. And we trace the arc of racial progress from Bert Williams's blackface performances to James Baldwin's warning of the fire next time, however slow and bitter and anguished this progress may be.<br /> <em>American Rhapsody</em> offers a history of twentieth-century American invention and genius. It is about the joy and profit of being a heterogeneous people, and the immense difficulty of this human experiment.</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>**<em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> BESTSELLER ? NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY <em>SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE</em> AND <em>THE HUFFINGTON POST</em> ? Features an exclusive conversation between Julia Pierpont and Lena Dunham</p> <p>For fans of Jennifer Egan, Jonathan Franzen, Lorrie Moore, and Curtis Sittenfeld, <em>Among the Ten Thousand Things</em> is a dazzling first novel, a portrait of an American family on the cusp of irrevocable change, and a startlingly original story of love and time lost.**</p> <p>Jack Shanley is a well-known New York artist, charming and vain, who doesn’t mean to plunge his family into crisis. His wife, Deb, gladly left behind a difficult career as a dancer to raise the two children she adores. In the ensuing years, she has mostly avoided coming face-to-face with the weaknesses of the man she married. But then an anonymously sent package arrives in the mail: a cardboard box containing sheaves of printed emails chronicling Jack’s secret life. The package is addressed to Deb, but it’s delivered into the wrong hands: her children’s.</p> <p>With this vertiginous opening begins a debut that is by turns funny, wise, and indescribably moving. As the Shanleys spin apart into separate orbits, leaving New York in an attempt to regain their bearings, fifteen-year-old Simon feels the allure of adult freedoms for the first time, while eleven-year-old Kay wanders precariously into a grown-up world she can’t possibly understand. Writing with extraordinary precision, humor, and beauty, Julia Pierpont has crafted a timeless, hugely enjoyable novel about the bonds of family lifeーtheir brittleness, and their resilience.</p> <p><strong>Praise for <em>Among the Ten Thousand Things</em></strong></p> <p>“A luscious, smart summer novel . . . by a blazingly talented young author.”<strong>ー<em>The New York Times Book Review</em></strong></p> <p>“This book is one of the funniest, and most emotionally honest, I’ve read in a long time.”<strong>ーJonathan Safran Foer</strong></p> <p>“Obsessively compelling . . . emotionally sophisticated . . . <em>Among the Ten Thousand Things</em> rises above [other novels] for its imagined structure, sentence-by-sentence punch, and pure humanity.”<strong>ー<em>Vanity Fair</em></strong></p> <p>“Gripping . . . Pierpont brings this family of four to life in sharply observed detail. . . . An acute observer of social comedy, Ms. Pierpont has a keen eye for the absurd.”<strong>ー<em>The Wall Street Journal</em></strong></p> <p>“Pierpont’s language is heart-stopping. . . . Between Pierpont’s literary finesse and her captivating characters, [<em>Among the Ten Thousand Things</em>] reads like a page-turner.”<strong>ー<em>Entertainment Weekly</em> (grade: A)</strong></p> <p>“A twisty, gripping storyーthat packs an emotional wallop.”<strong>ー<em>O: The Oprah Magazine</em></strong></p> <p>“There are going to be as many ingenious twists and turns in this literary novel as there are in a top-notch work of suspense like <em>Gone Girl</em>.”<strong>ーMaureen Corrigan, NPR’s <em>Fresh Air</em></strong></p> <p>“Tender, delicately perceptive . . . Pierpont’s voice is wry and confident, and she is a fine anthropologist of New York life.”<strong>ー<em>The Washington Post</em></strong></p> <p>“Pierpont displays a precocious gift for language and observation. . . . She captures the minutiae of loneliness that pushes us away from each other and sometimes brings us back.”<strong>ー<em>San Francisco Chronicle</em></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。

The Life and Times of Queen Victoria (Complete)【電子書籍】[ Robert Pierpont Wilson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In the dawn of June 20th, 1837, immediately after the death of King William IV., the Archbishop of Canterbury (Dr. Howley) and the Lord Chamberlain (the Marquis of Conyngham) left Windsor for Kensington, to convey the tidings to his late Majesty’s successor. They reached the Palace about five o’clock in the morning, and knocked, rang, and beat at the doors several times before they could obtain admission. When at length the porter was aroused, the visitors were shown into one of the lower rooms, where a long time passed without any attention being paid them. Growing impatient, they rang the bell (as we read in the interesting narrative of Miss Wynn), and desired that the attendant on the Princess Victoria might be sent to inform her Royal Highness that they requested an audience on business of importance. Another long delay ensued, and again the bell was rung, that some explanation might be given of the difficulty which appeared to exist. On the Princess’s attendant making her appearance, she declared that her Royal Highness was in so sweet a sleep that she could not venture to disturb her. It was now evident that stronger measures must be taken, and one of the visitors said, “We have come on business of State to the Queen, and even her sleep must give way to that.” The attendant disappeared, and a few minutes afterwards the young sovereign came into the room in a loose white robe and shawl, her fair hair falling over her shoulders, her feet in slippers, her eyes dim with tears, but her aspect perfectly calm and dignified. Lord Melbourne, the Prime Minister, was at once sent for, and arrived at nine o’clock, when, after an interview of half an hour with the Queen, he addressed himself to a rapid study of the ceremonials to be observed at the approaching Privy Council. Some time after, the Lord Mayor and other members of the Corporation reached the Palace, and the chief members of the Privy Council soon thronged the rooms. Although the final illness of the late King had been rather brief, William had for some time been in declining health, and the nation had only to hope that his life would be prolonged until his niece, the Princess Victoria, had attained an age which could be regarded as constituting her majority. This had occurred on the 24th of the previous month, when the Princess completed her eighteenth year, which had been declared by Act of Parliament to be sufficient. William IV. was a man of very moderate abilities; but a certain simplicity and geniality of character had secured for him the regard and respect of the people, and had carried him through the revolutionary epoch of the Reform Bill with no great loss of popularity, even at a time when he was supposed to be unfriendly to the measure. For the last two years he had ceased to take any interest in the political tendencies of the day, while discharging the routine duties of his high office with conscientious regularity. Brought up in the midst of totally different ideas, he could not, at his time of life, accommodate himself to the flood of novel principles which had recently set in, and which he was equally unable to accept and powerless to resist. The result was that, as a well-qualified observer records, “he submitted to what he could not help, but evidently with a sense of weariness.” In the previous April he had been distressed by the death of his eldest daughter, Lady de Lisle, and of the Duchess-Dowager of Saxe-Meiningen, mother of Queen Adelaide. Great physical prostration ensued shortly afterwards, and by June it was evident that the end could not be far distant. His Majesty was attended by the Queen with the most affectionate devotion; but the weakness steadily increased, and soon reached a fatal termination.</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。

Roth Unbound【電子書籍】[ Claudia Roth Pierpont ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Philip Roth ? one of the most renowned writers of his generation ? hardly needs introduction. From his debut, <em>Goodbye, Columbus</em>, which won the National Book Award, to his Pulitzer Prize-winning <em>American Pastoral</em>, to his eternally inventive later works such as <em>Exit Ghost</em> and <em>Nemesis</em>, Roth has produced some of the greatest literature of the past hundred years. And yet there has been no major critical work about him, until now.</p> <p>Here, at last, is the story of Roth’s creative life. Claudia Roth Pierpont tells an engaging story even as she delves into the many complexities of Roth’s work and the controversies it has raised. This is not a biography ? though it contains many biographical details ? but something more rewarding: an attempt to understand a great writer through his art.</p> <p>Pierpont, who has known Roth for several years, peppers her gracefully written and carefully researched account with conversational details, providing insights and anecdotes previously accessible only to a very few, touching on Roth’s family, his inspirations, his critics, the full range of his fiction, and his literary friendships with such figures as Saul Bellow and John Updike.</p> <p><em>Roth Unbound</em> is a major achievement, a fascinating and highly readable work that will set the standard for Roth scholarship for years to come.</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 hist?ria da vida criativa de Philip Roth, um dos maiores nomes da literatura americana contempor?nea.</strong><br /> Philip Roth - talvez o mais renomado autor de sua gera??o - dispensa apresenta??es. Desde o in?cio da carreira, com <em>Adeus, Columbus</em>, vencedor do National Book Award, com seu igualmente premiado <em>Pastoral americana</em>, at? os surpreendentes livros tardios, como <em>Fantasma sai de cena</em> e <em>N?mesis</em> , Roth produziu parte da melhor literatura do s?culo XX e come?o do s?culo XXI. Mesmo assim, n?o h? at? o momento produ??o cr?tica substantiva sobre seu trabalho. N?o havia.<br /> Aqui est?, finalmente, a hist?ria da vida criativa de Roth. Claudia Roth Pierpont traz um relato envolvente, capaz de mergulhar na complexidade do trabalho de Roth e na controv?rsia que ele suscitou. O livro n?o ? uma biografia - embora contenha muitos detalhes biogr?ficos -, mas algo mais desafiador: uma tentativa de entender um grande escritor por meio de sua arte.<br /> Pierpont, que conhece Roth h? muitos anos, recupera hist?rias e anedotas conhecidas de poucos: fala da vida familiar do escritor, de suas inspira??es, dos cr?ticos, percorre o leque completo de sua fic??o e ainda se aprofunda em suas amizades com Saul Bellow e John Updike.<br /> <em>Roth libertado</em> ? um trabalho de alto n?vel, um livro fascinante e fluente que decerto ser? fonte incontorn?vel para os f?s e estudiosos de Philip Roth pelos pr?ximos anos.</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。

In the Company of Generals The World War I Diary of Pierpont L. Stackpole【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Pierpont Stackpole was a Boston lawyer who in January 1918 became aide to Lieutenant General Hunter Liggett, soon to be commander of the first American corps in France. Stackpole’s diary, published here for the first time, is a major eyewitness account of the American Expeditionary Forces’ experience on the Western Front, offering an insider’s view into the workings of Liggett’s commands, his day-to-day business, and how he orchestrated his commands in trying and confusing situations.</p> <p>Hunter Liggett did not fit John J. Pershing’s concept of the trim and energetic officer, but Pershing entrusted to him a corps and then an army command. Liggett assumed leadership of the U.S. First Army in mid-October of 1918, and after reorganizing, reinforcing, and resting, the battle-weary troops broke through the German lines in a fourth attack at the Meuse-Argonneーaccomplishing what Pershing had failed to do in three previous attempts. The victory paved the way to armistice on November 11.</p> <p>Liggett has long been a shadowy figure in the development of the American high command. He was “Old Army,” a veteran of Indian wars who nevertheless kept abreast of changes in warfare and more than other American officers was ready for the novelties of 1914?1918. Because few of his papers have survived, the diary of his aideーwho rode in the general’s staff car as Liggett unburdened himself about fellow generals and their sometimes abysmal tactical notionsーprovides especially valuable insights into command within the AEF.</p> <p>Stackpole’s diary also sheds light on other figures of the war, presenting a different view of the controversial Major General Clarence Edwards than has recently been recorded and relating the general staff’s attitudes about the flamboyant aviation figure Billy Mitchell. General Liggett built the American army in France, and the best measure of his achievement is this diary of his aide. That record stands here as a fascinating and authentic look at the Great War.</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。
