Fighting with the Long Range Desert Group Merlyn Craw MM's War 1940?1945【電子書籍】[ Brendan O'Carroll ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Formed in 1940 the Long Range Desert Group was the first Allied Special Forces unit established to operate behind German and Italian lines in North Africa. Its officers and men were volunteers recruited from British and Commonwealth units. Merlyn Craw was serving with the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force when he joined the LRDG in 1941. He took part in numerous missions in the desert. The navigational driving and fighting skills of the LRDG were legendary and they were frequently responsible for transporting Stirling’s SAS detachments on raids. Merlyn’s luck ran out when he was captured on the Barce raid in September 1942, but he escaped twice, the second time making it back to Allied lines. Sent home on leave, he returned to Italy with the New Zealand Army. After a ‘disagreement’ he went AWOL and rejoined the LRDG with no questions asked, serving until the end of the war. Drawing on interviews with Merlyn and other former LRDG veterans, the author has created a vivid picture of this exceptional and highly decorated fighting man. Readers cannot fail to be impressed by the courage and ruthless determination of Merlyn Craw MM and his comrades.</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。 2,112円

Shadows of Doubt Stereotypes, Crime, and the Pursuit of Justice【電子書籍】[ Brendan O'Flaherty ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong><em>Shadows of Doubt</em> reveals how deeply stereotypes distort our interactions, shape crime, and deform the criminal justice system.</strong></p> <p>If you’re a robber, how do you choose your victims? As a police officer, how afraid are you of the young man you’re about to arrest? As a judge, do you think the suspect in front of you will show up in court if released from pretrial detention? As a juror, does the defendant seem guilty to you? Your answers may depend on the stereotypes you hold, and the stereotypes you believe others hold. In this provocative, pioneering book, economists Brendan O’Flaherty and Rajiv Sethi explore how stereotypes can shape the ways crimes unfold and how they contaminate the justice system through far more insidious, pervasive, and surprising paths than we have previously imagined.</p> <p>Crime and punishment occur under extreme uncertainty. Offenders, victims, police officers, judges, and jurors make high-stakes decisions with limited information, under severe time pressure. With compelling stories and extensive data on how people act as they try to commit, prevent, or punish crimes, O’Flaherty and Sethi reveal the extent to which we rely on stereotypes as shortcuts in our decision making. Sometimes it’s simple: Robbers tend to target those they stereotype as being more compliant. Other interactions display a complex and sometimes tragic interplay of assumptions: “If he thinks I’m dangerous, he might shoot. I’ll shoot first.”</p> <p><em>Shadows of Doubt</em> shows how deeply stereotypes are implicated in the most controversial criminal justice issues of our time, and how a clearer understanding of their effects can guide us toward a more just society.</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。 3,768円

The Real Mrs. Brown The Authorised Biography of Brendan O'Carroll【電子書籍】[ Brian Beacom ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Who'd have thought a potty-mouthed Dublin mammy with a cream cardigan and elasticated tan tights could storm British TV screens and leave a nation helpless with laughter?</p> <p>Brendan O'Carroll performs to tens of thousands of people a night in packed-out stadiums across the country. In the last four years his TV show has become a number 1 ratings success and he's even making a movie.</p> <p>But Brendan has had to battle hard for success. The youngest of eleven children, his mother was Maureen O'Carroll, a former nun who went on to become the first woman to be elected to the Irish parliament. Brendan adored his strong, widowed mother - and she later became the inspiration for his indomitable character Agnes Brown.</p> <p>However, the family endured poverty reminiscent of <em>Angela's Ashes</em> and Brendan saw no option but to leave school at 12 to work. He married young and for decades struggled to make ends meet. Eventually, bankrupt and desperate, Brendan went to see a fortune teller who told him she could see his future achieving worldwide success as a comedian and actor. At first Brendan laughed at the notion, but then he thought of how much his friends loved his gags, and decided to give it a go...</p> <p>This is the magical story of how a loveable Irishman with a wig and a wit as caustic as battery acid surprised everyone - most of all himself - by becoming one of the best-loved comedians in the world.<br /> It is a story of hardship, heartbreak, and talent and will remind readers afresh that sometimes the facts can be even more extraordinary than the 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。 1,885円

The Mammy【電子書籍】[ Brendan O'Carroll ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"Mammy" is what Irish children call their mothers and <strong>The Mammy</strong> is Agnes Browneーa widow struggling to raise seven children in a North Dublin neighborhood in the 1960s. Popular Irish comedian <strong>Brendan O'Carroll</strong> chronicles the comic misadventures of this large and lively family with raw humor and great affection. Forced to be mother, father, and referee to her battling clan, the ever-resourceful Agnes Browne occasionally finds a spare moment to trade gossip and quips with her best pal Marion Monks (alias "The Kaiser") and even finds herself pursued by the amorous Frenchman who runs the local pizza parlor.</p> <p>Like the novels of Roddy Doyle, <strong>The Mammy</strong> features pitch-perfect dialogue, lightning wit, and a host of colorful characters. Earthy and exuberant, the novel brilliantly captures the brash energy and cheerful irreverence of working-class Irish life.</p> <p><strong>Now a major motion picture starring Anjelica Huston</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。 2,291円

Homesick Why Housing Is Unaffordable and How We Can Change It【電子書籍】[ Brendan O'Brien ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Nobody who sits in traffic on Sedona, Arizona's main stretch or stands shoulder-to-shoulder in its many souvenir shops would call it a ghost town.</strong><br /> Neither would anyone renting a room for $2,000 a month or buying a house for a half-million dollars. And yet the people who built this small town and made it a community are being pushed further and further out. Their home is being sold out from under their feet.<br /> In studying the impact of short-term rentals, Brendan O'Brien saw something similar happening in places ranging from Bend, Oregon, to Bar Harbor, Maine. But it isn't just short-term rentals, and it's not just tourism towns. Neighborhoods in Austin and Atlanta have become rows of investment properties. Longtime residents in Spokane and Boston have been replaced by new, high-salaried remote workers. Across the country, a level of unaffordable housing that once seemed unique to global cities like New York and San Francisco has become the norm, with nearly a third of all US households considered housing cost burdened.<br /> This situation has been abetted by the direct actions of developers, politicians, and existing homeowners who have sought to drive up the cost of housing. But it's mostly happened due to a society-wide refusal to see housing as anything more than real estate, another product available to the highest bidder. This trend of putting local housing on a global market has worsened in recent years but is nothing new. Housing in the United States has always been marred by racial and income inequality that mocks the country's highest ideals.<br /> <strong>Deeply researched and deeply felt, <em>Homesick</em> argues that we can be so much better. And we can start where we live.</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。 1,860円

Summary of Brendan O’Shannassy's Superyacht Captain【電子書籍】[ ? Everest Media ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was a child who was allowed to do as I pleased, and I enjoyed it. I was raised in a middle-class family in Australia, and I was always at the yacht club looking for someone to sail with. I met Michael, another young beachside vagrant, and became inseparable friends. #2 I was playing Australian Rules Football for the local club, the Rockingham Rams, when I met Michael. We became friends, and I felt a sense of belonging with his gang of tough kids. I could move between worlds and be the unseen connector between them. #3 The time stamp of your home town always stays with you, even long after it stops being a feature in your life. In 2014, I was in Monaco to meet colleagues and three children of Rockingham were also staying in the Fairmont Hotel. #4 I meekly joined my colleagues in the Monaco Yacht Club the morning after the night in the Fairmont. We had met to conduct a pre-meeting rehearsal before we took the helicopter to Nice airport for the Aeroflot flight to Moscow. We were presenting to a client the technical details supporting a ?300 million yacht that was soon to begin construction.</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。 500円

A Treatise on Northern Ireland, Volume I Colonialism【電子書籍】[ Brendan O'Leary ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This first volume in A Treatise on Northern Ireland illuminates how British colonialism shaped the formation and political cultures of what became Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State. Contrasting colonial and sectarianized accounts of modern Irish history, Brendan O'Leary shows that a judicious meld of these perspectives provides a properly political account of direct and indirect rule, and of administrative and settler colonialism. The British state incorporated Ulster and Ireland into a deeply unequal Union after four re-conquests over two centuries had successively defeated the Ulster Gaels, the Catholic Confederates, the Jacobites, and the United Irishmenーand their respective European allies. Founded as a union of Protestants in Great Britain and Ireland, rather than of the British and the Irish nations, the colonial and sectarian Union was infamously punctured in the catastrophe of the Great Famine. The subsequent mobilization of Irish nationalists and Ulster unionists, and two republican insurrections amid the cataclysm and aftermath of World War I, brought the now partly democratized Union to an unexpected end, aside from a shrunken rump of British authority, baptized as Northern Ireland. Home rule would be granted to those who had claimed not to want it, after having been refused to those who had ardently sought it. The failure of possible federal reconstructions of the Union and the fateful partition of the island are explained, and systematically compared with other British colonial partitions. Northern Ireland was invented, in accordance with British interests, to resolve the 'hereditary animosities' between the descendants of Irish natives and British settlers in Ireland. In the long run, the invention proved unfit for purpose. Indispensable for explaining contemporary institutions and mentalities, this volume clears the path for the intelligent reader determined to understand contemporary Northern Ireland.</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。 5,383円

<p>Success in the formal scientific investigation of phenomena has always required that man learn to speak formally about the phenomena under investigation. Psychic phenomena are considered in terms of the unresolved problem of the relation between mind and matter, with paraphysics being defined as the physics of paranormal processes. This essay, chapter 19 of Psychic Exploration, explores why modern science has been unable to deal with highly complex systems and has therefore been able to address only certain kinds of problems.

The Cyprus Conspiracy America, Espionage and the Turkish Invasion【電子書籍】[ Brendan O'Malley ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In 1974 the Greek colonels ousted the Greek-Cypriot leader of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios, and Turkey retaliated by invading and seizing a third of the island. Cyprus remains split in two, like Berlin before the wall came down, bristling with troops and spying bases, and permanently policed by the United Nations. Henry Kissinger claimed he could do nothing to stop the coup because of the Watergate crisis, but this book presents evidence to support the view that it was no failure of American foreign policy, but the realization of a long-term plot. The authors describe the strategic reasons for Washington's need to divide the island. Their account encompasses an international cast of characters that includes Eden, Eisenhower, Nixon, Kissinger, Wilson, Callaghan, Grivas, and the leaders of the two halves of the divided island, Clerides and Denktas.</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。 4,633円

Bosnia's Forgotten Battlefield: Bihac Bihac【電子書籍】[ Brendan O'Shea ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Twenty years ago, the term 'ethnic cleansing' entered the common lexicon.</strong> The terrible events that took place in the UN 'safe haven' at Bihac in North-west Bosnia between 1992 and 1995 represent the Bosnian conflict in microcosm. Muslim fought all factions of Serb, Muslim fought Muslim, and the Croats interfered. As an EC Monitoring Mission Observer, author Brendan O'Shea was not only an eye witness to the horrific war crimes committed by all sides but also had access to both EU and UN official documents. As such he was perfectly placed to unravel the deceit, the politicking and the struggle for power that led to tragedy and suffering for hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children. The names Radovan Karadzic, Ratko Mladic ? both on trial at The Hague ?Slobodan Milosevic, Alija Izetbegovic and Franjo Tudjman have become synonymous with the worst excesses perpetrated during the war in Bosnia. This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of that conflict.</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。 1,520円

Mark si ? sistemato, ? sposato con Betty e ha un figlio meraviglioso; Rory e il suo amico Dino sono tra i pi? rinomati hair stylist della Wash & Blow; a Trevor manca solo un anno per completare il corso universitario di arte e diventare subito dopo un qualificato artista grafico; Simon ? ora portantino-capo al St Patrick’s Hospital; Cathy ? con il fidanzato Mick O’Leary e Dermot… Dermot ? con Mary Carter, tossica e forse anche spacciatrice, ma ancora per poco, dato che Agnes ha deciso di porre fine alla tresca… Andrebbe tutto bene per Agnes se a Pierre non venisse in mente di sollevare il calice e di dire davanti agli ospiti del pub di Foley e alla gente del Jarro: ≪Alla bellissima Agnes Browne… Benvenuta, nonna!≫ Quando Mark l’ha chiamata con quella strana parola per la prima volta subito dopo il parto di Betty, Agnes ha sentito le spalle curvarsi e la spina dorsale piegarsi. Ha abbassato lo sguardo sul dorso della mano sinistra e lo ha visto raggrinzito, con la fede nuziale che pareva sprofondare nella carne dell’anulare. Cavolo, nonna a 47 anni dopo tredici anni di felice vedovanza trascorsi in compagnia di un amante francese e di impertinenti pargoli! C’? da restarci secca! Ma distruggere Agnes Browne ? impossibile! Se ti chiami Agnes, sei sempre capace di tener testa ai colpi bassi della vita e di affrontare drammi, tragedie e commedie con lo spirito e l’ironia di una bella proletaria di Dublino! Terzo libro della serie di Agnes Browne, dopo Agnes Browne mamma e I marmocchi di Agnes, Agnes Browne nonna ? un nuovo affascinante capitolo della vita di uno dei personaggi pi? irresistibili della narrativa irlandese contemporanea.</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。 950円

A Heretic's Manifesto Essays on?the Unsayable【電子書籍】[ Brendan O'Neill ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Can a woman have a penis? Is the West forever stained by racism? Are we all going to die from climate change? To the liberal establishment of London, New York or Sydney, the answer to all of these questions is ‘Yes’. And anyone who disagrees is a racist, climate-change-denying transphobe. Our elites have become convinced of some very strange and extreme ideas. And yet there is precious little pushback against them. Critics are cowed by the threat of shaming, cancellation, even arrest. The new orthodoxies of our age are risible, and yet the space for dissent is shrinking. We need more heretics. Throughout history, it has been those brave enough to puncture the prevailing groupthink who have propelled society forward. But they are in shockingly short supply today. In this collection of original essays, Brendan O’Neill remakes the case for heresy ? and commits a few heresies of his own along the way.</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。 2,148円

A Treatise on Northern Ireland, Volume III Consociation and Confederation【電子書籍】[ Brendan O'Leary ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The third volume of the definitive political history of Northern Ireland. The Good Friday Agreement deserved the attention the world gave it, even if it was not always accurately understood. After its ratification in two referendums, for the first time in history political institutions throughout the island of Ireland rested upon the freely given assent of majorities of all the peoples on the island. It marked, it was hoped, the full political decolonization of Ireland. Whether Ireland would reunify, or whether Northern Ireland remain in union with Great Britain now rested on the will of the people of Ireland, North and South respectively: a complex mode of power-sharing addressed the self-determination dispute. The concluding volume of Brendan O'Leary's A Treatise on Northern Ireland explains the making of this settlement, and the many failed initiatives that preceded it under British direct rule. Long-term structural and institutional changes and short-term political maneuvers are given their due in this lively but comprehensive assessment. The Anglo-Irish Agreement is identified as the political tipping point, itself partially the outcome of the hunger strikes of 1980-81 that had prevented the criminalization of republicanism. Until 2016 the prudent judgment seemed to be that the Good Friday Agreement had broadly worked, eventually enabling Sinn F?in and the DUP to share power, with intermittent attention from the sovereign governments. Cultural Catholics appeared content if not in love with the Union with Great Britain. But the decision to hold a referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union has collaterally damaged and destabilized the Good Friday Agreement. That, in turn, has shaped the UK's tortured exit negotiations with the European Union. In appraising these recent events and assessing possible futures, readers will find O'Leary's distinctive angle of vision clear, sharp, unsentimental, and unsparing of reputations, in keeping with the mastery of the historical panoramas displayed throughout this treatise.</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。 5,383円

<p><strong>"Sports journalism at its finest, a book so well-researched that everyone who thinks they know Pre is in for a big surprise.”</strong> ー<strong>Christopher McDougall, bestselling author of <em>Born to Run</em></strong></p> <p><strong>On the 50th anniversary of American Track and Field icon Steve Prefontaine’s tragic death comes an essential reappraisal of his life and legacy, a powerful work of narrative history exploring the forces and psychology that made Prefontaine great and separating the man from the myths.</strong></p> <p>In the fifty years since his tragic death in a car crash, Steve Prefontaine has towered over American distance running. One of the most recognizable and charismatic figures to ever run competitively in the United States, Prefontaine has endured as a source of inspiration and fascinationーa talent who presaged the American running boom of the late 1970s and helped put Nike on the map as the brand’s first celebrity-athlete face.</p> <p>Now on the anniversary of his untimely death, author Brendan O’Meara, host of the <em>Creative Nonfiction</em> podcast, offers a fresh, definitive retelling of Prefontaine’s life, revisiting one of the most enigmatic figures in American sports with a twenty-first-century lens. Through over a hundred and fifty original interviews with family, friends, teammates, and competitors, this long-overdue reappraisal of Prefontaineーthe first such exhaustive treatment in almost thirty yearsーprovides never-before-told stories about the unique talent, innovative mental strength, and personal struggles that shaped Prefontaine on and off the track. Bringing new depth to an athlete long eclipsed by his brash, aggressive running style and the heartbreak of his death at twenty-four, O’Meara finds the man inside the myth, scrutinizing a legacy that has shaped American sports culture for decades.</p> <p>What emerges is a singular portrait of a distinctly American talent, a story written in the pines and firs of the Pacific Northwest back when running was more blue-collar love than corporate pursuitーthe story of a runner whose short life casts a long, fast shadow.</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。 3,341円

The Long Range Desert Group in North Africa【電子書籍】[ Brendan O'Carroll ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Formed in July 1940 for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering behind enemy lines, the Long Range Desert Group was the first British special force unit. In no time the LRDG earned itself an enviable reputation for deep penetration patrols into German and Italian held territory. Its successes on prolonged missions into harsh terrain and under extreme climatic conditions were out of all proportion to its size. Wide-ranging military skills, including exceptional navigation techniques, and the highest standards of discipline and leadership were required from all ranks. Many of the previously unpublished and well captioned images in this comprehensive and well researched book come from the collections of LRDG veterans. They show the weapons, equipment, uniforms and insignia used and, together with personal accounts and operational reports, bring to life the extraordinary achievements of this legendary unit. The result is a fascinating record of the LRDG’s contribution to the Allied victory in North Africa.</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。 1,936円

Birra e cazzotti【電子書籍】[ Brendan O'Carroll ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Per sopravvivere a Snuggstown, turbolento sobborgo di Dublino, ci sono due possibilit?: pagare il pizzo alla mala, oppure riscuoterlo per suo conto. E per un poliziotto, ce n'? una sola: chiudere entrambi gli occhi. Ma se nella chiassosa cittadina ti capita di nascere con il talento per la boxe, forse al destino c'? una via di scampo. E' questo ci? che pensano i fans del venticinquenne Anthony Sparrow McCabe, il miglior pugile irlandese dei pesi leggeri, in una calda sera del 1982, mentre assistono o ascoltano alla radio la finale europea di categoria in corso al palazzetto dello sport Sanmartino di Madrid. All'ottavo round l'avversario di McCabe ? alle corde e per la vittoria manca solo l'ultimo pugno, quello del knock-out. Ma Sparrow quel pugno a un avversario impotente e umiliato non riesce proprio a sferrarlo, vorrebbe ma non pu?, potrebbe ma non vuole... e il sogno finisce. Come succede per i grandi eventi, a Snuggstown quattordici anni dopo tutti ricordano ancora quel giorno, ricordano dov'erano e cosa stavano facendo nel momento della sconfitta di Sparrow: lo ricorda Kieran Clancy, che da giovane diplomato all'accademia di polizia ? nel frattempo diventato sergente ispettore, intenzionato a tenere ben aperti gli occhi sulla malavita. Cos? come lo ricordano i fratelli Morgan e il loro capo, Simon Semplice Williams, intraprendente gangster diventato il boss della citt?, che risolve ogni contesa semplicemente suggerendo ai suoi sgherri di spargere un po' di sangue per far capire chi comanda nel giro di contrabbando ed estorsioni. Cos? come lo ricorda Eileen, la moglie di McCabe, che allora era accanto a un pugile giovane e sicuro di s? e che oggi si ritrova sposata a un uomo molto diverso, un uomo sconfitto non solo sul ring. Perduta la sua via di scampo infatti Sparrow, ancora ossessionato da quella lontana serata spagnola, lavora come autista proprio per Simon Semplice, pur rifiutandosi di riconoscere i traffici di cui passivamente ? partecipe: si limita a guidare, non guarda n? dal finestrino n? dallo specchietto retrovisore, non sa e non vuole sapere. Ma quando all'elenco di imbrogli e pestaggi cui quotidianamente finge di non assistere, si aggiunge un omicidio, per McCabe tutto improvvisamente cambia: dopo quattordici anni trascorsi con la convinzione di non avere quel qualcosa di necessario per assestare il colpo decisivo; dopo quattordici anni passati a testa bassa, vivendo con vergogna, parlando il meno possibile e limitandosi a navigare a vista; dopo quattordici anni di fuga dal fallimento di Madrid, Sparrow capisce che ci pu? ancora essere qualcosa per cui valga la pena combattere. E' il momento di tornare metaforicamente sul ring. E questa volta si tratta di un incontro che il leggendario pugile di Snuggstown non pu? permettersi di perdere.</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。 950円
