The Mayor of Troy【電子書籍】[ Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Had the Major in London been crossed in love? No; I incline to believe that Miss Pescod was mistaken. That hearts, up there, fluttered for a man of his presence is probable, nay certain. In port and even in features he bore a singular likeness to the Prince Regent. He himself could not but be aware of this, having heard it so often remarked upon by persons acquainted with his Royal Highness as well as by others who had never set eyes on him. In short, our excellent Major may have dallied in his time with the darts of love; there is no evidence that he ever took a wound. Within a year after his return he bought back the ancestral home of the Hymens, a fine house dating from the reign of Queen Anne. (His great-grandfather had built it on the site of a humbler abode, on the eve of the South Sea collapse.) It stood at the foot of Custom House Hill and looked down the length of Fore Streetーa perspective view of which the Major never weariedーno, not even on hot afternoons when the population took its siesta within doors and, in the words of Cai Tamblyn, "you might shot a cannon down the streets of Troy, and no person would be shoot." This Cai (or Caius) Tamblyn, an eccentric little man of uncertain age, with a black servant Scipio, who wore a livery of green and scarlet and slept under the stairs, made up the Major's male retinue. Between them they carried his sedan chair; and because Cai (who walked in front) measured but an inch above five feet, whereas Scipio stood six feet three in his socks, the Major had a seat contrived with a sharp backward slope, and two wooden buffers against which he thrust his feet when going down-hill. Besides these, whom he was wont to call, somewhat illogically, his two factotums, his household comprised Miss Marty and a girl Lavinia who, as Miss Marty put it, did odds and ends. Miss Marty was a poor relation, a third or fourth cousin on the maternal side, whom the Major had discovered somewhere on the other side of the Duchy, and promoted. Socially she did not count. She asked no more than to be allowed to feed and array the Major, and gaze after him as he walked down the street.</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 Westcotes Navigating Class and Ambition in Victorian England【電子書籍】[ Arthur Quiller-Couch ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Westcotes," Arthur Quiller-Couch weaves a tapestry of wit and social commentary set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Cornwall. The narrative unfolds with rich, descriptive prose, reminiscent of the Victorian literary tradition, yet it exudes an innovative freshness that reflects the author's modern sensibilities. Quiller-Couch's intricate characterizations and deft dialogue engage readers with a storyline that revolves around themes of love, ambition, and the intricate social fabric of a small town grappling with the winds of change. This novel, a portrayal of human relationships and local politics, invites readers to ponder the delicate balance between tradition and progress. Quiller-Couch, an influential figure of his time, was a professor of English literature and a prolific writer, deeply immersed in the cultural currents of the early 1900s. His upbringing in Cornwall profoundly influenced his writing, infusing it with a sense of place that is palpably felt in "The Westcotes." Drawing from his own experiences and the vivid landscapes of his youth, Quiller-Couch offers an authentic representation of rural life and its complexities. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Westcotes" to readers interested in exploring the nuances of human connection within a richly rendered setting. Quiller-Couch'??s skillful narrative invites reflection and resonates with anyone interested in the subtleties of character and community life, making it a significant contribution to literary fiction.</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。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Arthur Quiller-Couch'??s "Hocken and Hunken" is a richly textured novella that captures the essence of rural life in Cornish society at the turn of the 20th century. Through its vivid prose and keen characterization, Quiller-Couch delves into the lives of two contrasting fishermen, Hocken and Hunken, highlighting themes of loyalty, community, and the nuances of social class. The narrative'??s lyrical quality reflects the author's intent to blend local dialect with accessible English, situating the work within the broader Literary Revival that sought to innovate while honoring regional traditions. Quiller-Couch, a notable figure in British literature and a strong advocate for the Cornish identity, drew inspiration from his roots in Cornwall and his experiences as an educator and critic. His works often juxtapose the idyllic landscape of his homeland with the complexities of human relationships, making "Hocken and Hunken" a testament to his belief in the importance of place. The blend of folklore and realism in this novella exemplifies his mastery in depicting the often-overlooked stories of ordinary lives. This novella is highly recommended for readers interested in regional literature and those who appreciate the subtle interplay of character and setting. Quiller-Couch'??s nuanced storytelling invites readers to reflect on the moral dilemmas faced by the protagonists, ensuring that "Hocken and Hunken" remains a poignant exploration of human emotion and community ties.</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。

Shakespeare's Christmas and Other Stories【電子書籍】[ Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The pace of the performance (it had begun at one o'clock) dragged sensibly with all this, and midway in Act IV., as the edge of a grey river-fog overlapped and settled gradually upon the well of the unroofed theatre, voices began to cough and call for lanterns. Two lackeys ran with a dozen. Some they hung from the balcony at the back, others they disposed along both sides of the stage, in front of the sixpenny stools, the audience all the while chaffing them by their Christian names and affectionately pelting them with nuts. Still the fog gathered, until the lantern-rays criss-crossed the stage in separate shafts, and among them the actors moved through Act V. in a luminous haze, their figures looming large, their voices muffled and incredibly remote. An idle apprentice, seated on the right of the cutpurse, began for a game to stop and unstop his ears. This gave the cutpurse an opportunity to search his pockets. Cantat vacuus: the apprentice felt him at it and went on with his game. Whenever he stopped his ears the steaming breath of the players reminded him of the painted figures he had seen carried in my Lord Mayor's Show, with labels issuing from their mouths. He had stopped his ears during the scene of King Henry's reconciliation with Chief Justice Gascoigne, and unstopped them eagerly again when his old friends reappearedーFalstaff and Bardolph and Pistol, all agog and hurrying, hot-foot, boot-and-saddle, to salute the rising sun of favour. "Welcome these pleasant days!" He stamped and clapped, following his neighbours' lead, and also because his feet and hands were cold. Eh? What was the matter? Surely the fog had taken hold of the rogues! What was happening to Mistress Quickly and Doll Tearsheet? Poor souls, they were but children: they had meant no harm. For certain this plaguy fog was infecting the play; and yet, for all the fog, the play was a play no longer, but of a sudden had become savagely real. Why was this man turning on his puppets and rending them? The worst was, they bledーnot sawdust, but real blood. The apprentice cracked a nut and peeled it meditatively, with a glance along the bench. The countryman still fugled; the cutpurse cackled, with lips drawn back like a wolf's, showing his yellow teeth.</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。

Dead Man's Rock【電子書籍】[ Arthur Quiller-Couch ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Dodo Collections brings you another classic from Arthur Quiller-Couch ‘Dead Man's Rock.’</p> <p>"Dead Man's Rock" was Q's first published novel. The genesis came from a curious bit of family lore, in which his great grandfather Richard had a key hanging from a beam, with instructions that no one should take it down till he returned. Richard was lost at sea during a war, and the key was never touched. What might it have unlocked? Hence the inspiration for the story. A family in poverty, great wealth to be unlocked by a key, two parties vying for it, and a curse on the treasure the key could unlock.</p> <p>Quiller-Couch was a noted literary critic, publishing editions of some of Shakespeare's plays (in the New Shakespeare, published by Cambridge University Press, with Dover Wilson) and several critical works, including Studies in Literature (1918) and On the Art of Reading (1920). He edited a successor to his verse anthology: Oxford Book of English Prose, which was published in 1923. He left his autobiography, Memories and Opinions, unfinished; it was nevertheless published in 1945.</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。

But, during the time, he decided that he needed some changes in his life. He had only two shillings in his pocket and went to London… Read the story till the end to know what accident was the cause of his remembrance!</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。

Poison Island【電子書籍】[ Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch ]

<p>It was in the dusk of a July evening of the year 1813 (July 27, to be precise) that on my way back from the mail-coach office, Falmouth, to Mr. Stimcoe's Academy for the Sons of Gentlemen, No. 7, Delamere Terrace, I first met Captain Coffin as he came, drunk and cursing, up the Market Strand, with a rabble of children at his heels. I have reason to remember the date and hour of this encounter, not only for its remarkable consequences, but because it befell on the very day and within an hour or two of my matriculation at Stimcoe's. That afternoon I had arrived at Falmouth by Royal Mail, in charge of Miss Plinlimmon, my father's housekeeper; and now but ten minutes ago I had seen off that excellent lady and waved farewell to herーnot without a sinking of the heartーon her return journey to Minden Cottage, which was my home. My name is Harry Brooks, and my age on this remembered evening was fourteen and something over. My father, Major James Brooks, late of the 4th (King's Own) Regiment, had married twice, and at the time of his retirement from active service was for the second time a widower. Blindnessーcontracted by exposure and long marches over the snows of Galiciaーhad put an end to a career by no means undistinguished. In his last fight, at Corunna, he had not only earned a mention in despatches from his brigadier-general, Lord William Bentinck, but by his alertness in handling his half-regiment at a critical moment, and refusing its right to an outflanking line of French, had been privileged to win almost the last word of praise uttered by his idolized commander. My father heard, and faced about, but his eyes were already failing him; they missed the friendly smile with which Sir John Moore turned, and cantered off along the brigade, to encourage the 50th and 42nd regiments, and to receive, a few minutes later, the fatal cannon-shot. Every one has heard what miseries the returning transports endured in the bitter gale of January, 1809. The Londonderry, in which my father sailed, did indeed escape wreck, but at the cost of a week's beating about the mouth of the Channel. He was, by rights, an invalid, having taken a wound in the kneecap from a spent bullet, one of the last fired in the battle; but in the common peril he bore a hand with the best. For three days and two nights he never shifted his clothing, which the gale alternately soaked and froze. It was frozen stiff as a board when the Londonderry made the entrance of Plymouth Sound; and he was borne ashore in a rheumatic fever. From this, and from his wound, the doctors restored him at length, but meanwhile his eyesight had perished.</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。

Shining Ferry【電子書籍】[ Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>John Rosewarne fetched his hat and staff from the hall, and started on his customary stroll around the farm-buildings, with the small greyhound trotting daintily at his heels. The lands of Hall march with those of a far larger estate, to which they once belonged, and of which Hall itself had once been the chief seat. The houseーa grey stone building with two wings and a heavy porch midway between themーdated from 1592, and had received its shape of a capital E in compliment to Queen Elizabeth. King Charles himself had lodged in it for a day during the Civil War, and while inspecting the guns on a terraced walk above the harbour, had narrowly escaped a shot fired across from the town where Essex's troops lay in force. The shot killed a poor fisherman beside him, and His Majesty that afternoon gave thanks for his own preservation in the private chapel of Hall. In those days, the porch and all the main windows looked seaward upon this chapel across half an acre of green-sward, but the Rosewarnes had since converted the lawn into a farmyard and the shrine into a cow-byre. Above it ran a line of tall elms screening a lane used by the farm-carts, and above this again a great field of arable rounded itself against the sky. From the top of Parc-an-halーso the field was namedーthe eye travelled over a goodly prospect: sea and harbour; wide stretches of cultivated land intersected by sunken woodlands which marked the winding creeks of the river; other woodlands yet more distant, embowering the great mansion of Damelioc; the purple rise of a down capped by a monument commemorating ancient battles. The scene held old and deeply written meanings for Rosewarne, as he gazed over it in the descending twilightーmeanings he had spent his life to acquire, and other meanings born with him in his blood. Once upon a time there lived a wicked nobleman. He owned Damelioc, and had also for his pleasure the house and estate of Hall, whence his family had moved to their lordlier mansion two generations before his birth. Being exiled to the country from the Court of Queen Anne, he cast about for some civilised way of passing the time, and one day, as he lounged at church in his great pew, his eye fell on Rachel Rosewarne, a gipsy-looking girl, sitting under the gallery. This Rachel's father was a fisherman, tall of stature, who planted himself one night in the road as my lord galloped homeward to Damelioc. The horse shied, and the rider was thrown. Rosewarne picked him up, dusted his lace coat carefully, and led him aside into this very field of Parc-an-hal. No one knows what talk they held there, but on his lordship's dying, in 1712, of wounds received in a duel in Hyde Park, Rachel Rosewarne produced a deed, which the widow's lawyers did not contest, and entered Hall as its mistress, with her son Charlesー then five years old.</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。

Hetty Wesley Sisters in Victorian England: A Tale of Family, Faith, and Society【電子書籍】[ Arthur Quiller-Couch ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Arthur Quiller-Couch'??s novel "Hetty Wesley" masterfully weaves a narrative set in the early 19th century, exploring themes of love, societal expectations, and the pursuit of authenticity. Employing a rich, descriptive literary style reminiscent of Victorian prose, Quiller-Couch captures the nuances of human emotion and social dynamics. The story centers on the titular Hetty, a strong-willed and complex heroine, whose journey is fraught with the conflicts of her societal role and personal desires, set against the backdrop of the changing mores of British society. Arthur Quiller-Couch, an eminent figure in early 20th-century literature, is often celebrated for his ability to fuse local Cornwall folklore with broader literary traditions.

The Blue Pavilions Intrigue and Romance in Cornwall's Coastal Landscape【電子書籍】[ Arthur Quiller-Couch ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Blue Pavilions," Arthur Quiller-Couch deftly intertwines elements of mystery and romance against a backdrop of an idyllic yet enigmatic landscape. The narrative follows the lives of its richly drawn characters as they navigate love and intrigue amid a setting that mirrors the emotional turbulence of their lives. Quiller-Couch employs a lyrical prose style, evocative descriptions, and intricate plotting that reflect the literary trends of the early 20th century, particularly the fascination with character-driven stories that explore human motivations and relationships in depth. Quiller-Couch, an eminent figure in the literary scene of his time, had a profound understanding of both classical and contemporary literature, which informed his writing. His experiences as a scholar, writer, and professor at Cambridge, along with his deep appreciation for English folklore and storytelling traditions, shaped his narrative voice. These influences are evident in "The Blue Pavilions," where he crafts a tale that is not only immersive but also reflective of the burgeoning modernist themes that question the nature of reality and perception. This compelling novel is recommended for readers who appreciate literary fiction that harmonizes romance and mystery with nuanced character exploration. Quiller-Couch'??s masterful storytelling and rich, evocative style promise to transport readers to a world where the blue pavilions become both a literal and metaphorical refuge, inviting them to ponder the complexities of love and 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。

Dead Man's Rock【電子書籍】[ Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Whatever claims this story may have upon the notice of the world, they will rest on no niceties of style or aptness of illustration. It is a plain tale, plainly told: nor, as I conceive, does its native horror need any ingenious embellishment. There are many books that I, though a man of no great erudition, can remember, which gain much of interest from the pertinent and appropriate comments with which the writer has seen fit to illustrate any striking situation. From such books an observing man may often draw the exactest rules for the regulation of life and conduct, and their authors may therefore be esteemed public benefactors. Among these I, Jasper Trenoweth, can claim no place; yet I venture to think my history will not altogether lack interestーand this for two reasons. It deals with the last chapter (I pray Heaven it be the last) in the adventures of a very remarkable gemーnone other, in fact, than the Great Ruby of Ceylon; and it lifts, at least in part, the veil which for some years has hidden a certain mystery of the sea. For the moral, it must be sought by the reader himself in the following pages. To make all clear, I must go back half a century, and begin with the strange and unaccountable Will made in the year of Grace 1837 by my grandfather, Amos Trenoweth, of Lantrig in the County of Cornwall. The old farm-house of Lantrig, heritage and home of the Trenoweths as far as tradition can reach, and Heaven knows how much longer, stands some few miles N.W. of the Lizard, facing the Atlantic gales from behind a scanty veil of tamarisks, on Pedn-glas, the northern point of a small sandy cove, much haunted of old by smugglers, but now left to the peaceful boats of the Polkimbra fishermen. In my grandfather's time however, if tales be true, Ready-Money Cove saw many a midnight cargo run, and many a prize of cognac and lace found its way to the cellars and store-room of Lantrig. Nay, there is a story (but for its truth I will not vouch) of a struggle between my grandfather's lugger, the Pride of Heart, and a certain Revenue cutter, and of an unowned shot that found a Preventive Officer's heart. But the whole tale remains to this day full of mystery, nor would I mention it save that it may be held to throw some light on my grandfather's sudden disappearance no long time after. Whither he went, none clearly knew. Folks said, to fight the French; but when he returned suddenly some twenty years later, he said little about sea-fights, or indeed on any other subject; nor did many care to question him, for he came back a stern, taciturn man, apparently with no great wealth, but also without seeming to want for much, and at any rate indisposed to take the world into his confidence. His father had died meanwhile, so he quietly assumed the mastership at Lantrig, nursed his failing mother tenderly until her death, and then married one of the Triggs of Mullyon, of whom was born my father, Ezekiel Trenoweth.</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。
