Israel and South Africa The Many Faces of Apartheid【電子書籍】[ Ronnie Kasrils ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Within the already heavily polarised debate on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, parallels between Israel and apartheid South Africa remain highly contentious. A number of prominent academic and political commentators, including former US president Jimmy Carter and UN Special Rapporteur John Dugard, have argued that Israel's treatment of its Arab-Israeli citizens and the people of the occupied territories amounts to a system of oppression no less brutal or inhumane than that of South Africa's white supremacists. Similarly, boycott and disinvestment campaigns comparable to those employed by anti-apartheid activists have attracted growing support. Yet while the 'apartheid question' has become increasingly visible in this debate, there has been little in the way of genuine scholarly analysis of the similarities (or otherwise) between the Zionist and apartheid regimes.</p> <p>In <em>Israel and South Africa</em>, Ilan Papp?, one of Israel's preeminent academics and a noted critic of the current government, brings together lawyers, journalists, policy makers and historians of both countries to assess the implications of the apartheid analogy for international law, activism and policy making. With contributors including the distinguished anti-apartheid activist Ronnie Kasrils, Israel and South Africa offers a bold and incisive perspective on one of the defining moral questions of our age.</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。

Residential Building Plans in South Africa: A Concise Reference【電子書籍】[ Leon De Kock ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This reference guide is a short introduction to building plans and the building plan process, aimed at taking some of the anxiety out of the building plan process for home owners.<br /> This is not a guide to building design. This is a reference guide to what you should and should not do if you own a home in South Africa - as far as building plans are concerned.<br /> The guide was inspired by many home owners asking me the same questions, because they all run into the same problems. Too often they are asking those questions too late, when the damage has been done. A common scenario would be a carport. These are often built in the front corner of a property, usually over at least two building lines and one servitude.<br /> This manual will explore what building lines, servitude and other building restricted areas are.<br /> The scope of a reference guide like this cannot cover the whole of the law. This guide is an entry point, a ‘where to start’ for owners who want to build, or have built and need to get their building plans in 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。

Memoirs of a Born Free Reflections on the New South Africa by a Member of the Post-apartheid Generation【電子書籍】[ Malaika Wa Azania ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Apartheid isn't overーso Malaika Wa Azania boldly argues in <em>Memoirs of a Born Free</em>, her account of growing up black in modern-day South Africa. Malaika was born in late 1991, as the white minority government was on its way out, making her a "Born Free"ーthe name given to the generation born after the end of apartheid. But Malaika's experience with institutionalized racism offers a view of South Africa that contradicts the implied racial liberation of the so-called Rainbow Nation. Recounting her upbringing in a black township racked by poverty and disease, the death of a beloved uncle at the hands of white police, and her alienation at multiracial schools, she evokes a country still held in thrall by de facto apartheid. She takes us through her anger and disillusionment with the myth of black liberation to the birth and development of her dedication to the black consciousness movement, which continues to be a guiding force in her life. A trenchant, audacious, and ultimately hopeful narrative, <em>Memoirs of a Born Free</em> introduces an important new voice in South Africanーand, indeed, globalーactivism.</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。

Brothers in War and Peace Constand and Abraham Viljoen and the Birth of the New South Africa【電子書籍】[ Dennis Cruywagen ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Abraham and Constand Viljoen were identical twins who took starkly different paths in life. One was a deeply religious man, who opposed apartheid; the other was a man of war, who became head of the SADF. But together they would play a crucial role in preventing South Africa from descending into civil war.<br /> In the early 1990s, Constand came out of retirement to head the Afrikaner Volksfront, which opposed the negotiations with the ANC and made plans for military action. Realising that war would destroy their country, Abraham approached his estranged brother and urged him to consider the alternative: talks with the ANC. What followed was a series of secret meetings and negotiations that ultimately prevented civil war.<br /> Brothers in War and Peace documents the crucial yet largely unheralded role the Viljoen brothers played in ensuring peace in South Africa. Based on interviews with the brothers and other key political figures, the book gives new insights into a time when the country’s future was on a knife-edge.</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 Scientific Imagination in South Africa 1700 to the Present【電子書籍】[ William Beinart ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>South Africa provides a unique vantage point from which to examine the scientific imagination over the last three centuries, when its position on the African continent made it a staging post for Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonialism. In the eighteenth century, South African plants and animals caught the imagination of visiting Europeans. In the nineteenth century, science became central to imperial conquest, devastating wars, agricultural intensification and the exploitation of rich mineral resources. Scientific work both facilitated, and offered alternatives to, the imposition of segregation and apartheid in the twentieth century. William Beinart and Saul Dubow offer an innovative exploration of science and technology in this complex, divided society. Bridging a range of disciplines from astronomy to zoology, they demonstrate how scientific knowledge shaped South Africa's peculiar path to modernity. In so doing, they examine the work of remarkable individual scientists and institutions, as well as the contributions of leading politicians from Jan Smuts to Thabo Mbeki.</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。

Neoliberal Apartheid Palestine/Israel and South Africa after 1994【電子書籍】[ Andy Clarno ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In recent years, as peace between Israelis and Palestinians has remained cruelly elusive, scholars and activists have increasingly turned to South African history and politics to make sense of the situation. In the early 1990s, both South Africa and Israel began negotiating with their colonized populations. South Africans saw results: the state was democratized and black South Africans gained formal legal equality. Palestinians, on the other hand, won neither freedom nor equality, and today Israel remains a settler-colonial state. Despite these different outcomes, the transitions of the last twenty years have produced surprisingly similar socioeconomic changes in both regions: growing inequality, racialized poverty, and advanced strategies for securing the powerful and policing the racialized poor. <em>Neoliberal Apartheid</em> explores this paradox through an analysis of (de)colonization and neoliberal racial capitalism.<br /> After a decade of research in the Johannesburg and Jerusalem regions, Andy Clarno presents here a detailed ethnographic study of the precariousness of the poor in Alexandra township, the dynamics of colonization and enclosure in Bethlehem, the growth of fortress suburbs and private security in Johannesburg, and the regime of security coordination between the Israeli military and the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. The first comparative study of the changes in these two areas since the early 1990s, the book addresses the limitations of liberation in South Africa, highlights the impact of neoliberal restructuring in Palestine, and argues that a new form of neoliberal apartheid has emerged in both contexts.</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。

Deep Collusion uncovers the inner workings of state capture design. While this book exposes corporate corruption and lifts the lid on foreign profiteering and the weakening of South Africa’s public institutions, it also highlights the lonely burden of the whistleblower and the great personal cost of telling the truth in the face of overwhelming pressure.</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。

Sporting Scenes amongst the Kaffirs of South Africa【電子書籍】[ Alfred W. Drayson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Sporting Scenes amongst the Kaffirs of South Africa," Alfred W. Drayson presents a vivid portrayal of the diverse landscapes and cultures of South Africa through the lens of colonial exploration and adventure. Drayson employs a lively, descriptive literary style that immerses readers in the sights, sounds, and experiences of hunting and social interactions with the indigenous Xhosa people. The book reflects the romanticized views of the Victorian era while engaging with the realities of colonial life, navigating themes of cultural encounter and imperialism, all rendered with Drayson's keen observational prowess. Alfred W. Drayson, a British army officer and an avid sportsman, had a profound interest in the natural world and indigenous cultures, which greatly influenced his literary pursuits. His experiences in South Africa during the late 19th century, coupled with his background in science and exploration, provided fertile ground for insightful commentary on both the hunt and the human elements he encountered. Drayson's works reveal a complex interplay between admiration and condescension, reflective of his time. This book serves not only as a captivating account of adventure and exploration but also as a critical historical document that invites readers to reflect on the interplay of nature and culture in a colonial context. Whether you are an enthusiast of adventure literature or a scholar of colonial history, Drayson's narrative will enrich your understanding of South African cultural dynamics and the sporting traditions that shaped them.</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。

Fighting Global Neo-Extractivism Fossil-Free Social Movements in South Africa【電子書籍】[ Jasper Finkeldey ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em>Fighting Global Neo-Extractivism: Fossil-Free Social Movements in South Africa</em> analyzes social struggles over damaging new fossil fuel projects in the Global South with a focus on South Africa, Africa’s biggest fossil fuel emitter.</p> <p>Fossil fuel extraction in South Africa has reached a new accelerated phase in which the fossil fuel frontier is moving beyond historical ‘sacrifice zones’ into non-traditional spaces, such as conservation parks and middle-class neighbourhoods, and provoking fervent opposition from grassroots activists. This book examines campaigns such as Frack Free South Africa and Save our iMfolozi Wilderness, viewing them as struggles against neo-extractivism driven by the state and industry. Through a series of detailed case studies, it highlights the shaping of mobilisation patterns by prior land use practices and the capacity to mobilize different social groups across race and class. Developing the notion of the fossil fuel frontier as the material and political boundary that activists in South Africa and elsewhere in the world render visible, this volume provides a theoretical framework to understanding global mobilization patterns.</p> <p>This timely and impassioned book will appeal to students and researchers interested in a range of subjects, including environmentalism, social movements, political ecology, and development studies.</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 novel reflects the anxieties and challenges of the early 20th century, exploring the moral dilemmas faced by those who sought to extend their dominion over distant lands, showcasing a time when national pride often clashed with ethical considerations.

These elements are palpable in 'The Empire Makers,' where Nesbit's narratorial voice melds with historical context, enriching the reader's understanding of the motivations behind imperial pursuits.

South Africa, Settler Colonialism and the Failures of Liberal Democracy【電子書籍】[ Doctor Thiven Reddy ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In South Africa, two unmistakable features describe post-Apartheid politics. The first is the formal framework of liberal democracy, including regular elections, multiple political parties and a range of progressive social rights. The second is the politics of the 'extraordinary', which includes a political discourse that relies on threats and the use of violence, the crude re-racialization of numerous conflicts, and protests over various popular grievances.</p> <p>In this highly original work, Thiven Reddy shows how conventional approaches to understanding democratization have failed to capture the complexities of South Africa's post-Apartheid transition. Rather, as a product of imperial expansion, the South African state, capitalism and citizen identities have been uniquely shaped by a particular mode of domination, namely settler colonialism.</p> <p><em>South Africa, Settler Colonialism and the Failures of Liberal Democracy</em> is an important work that sheds light on the nature of modernity, democracy and the complex politics of contemporary South 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。

Reconfiguring Racial Capitalism South Africa in the Chinese Century【電子書籍】[ Mingwei Huang ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In <em>Reconfiguring Racial Capitalism</em>, Mingwei Huang traces the development of new forms of racial capitalism in the twenty-first century. Through fieldwork in one of the “China malls” that has emerged along Johannesburg’s former mining belt, Huang identifies everyday relations of power and difference between Chinese entrepreneurs and African migrant workers in these wholesale shops. These relations, Huang contends, replicate and perpetuate global structures of white supremacy, anti-Blackness, capitalism, and colonialism, even when whiteness is not present. Huang argues that this dynamic reflects the sedimented legacies and continued operation of white supremacy and colonialism, which have been transformed in the shift of capitalism’s center of gravity toward China and the Global South. These new forms of racial capitalism and empire layer onto and extend histories of exploitation and racialization in South Africa. Taking a palimpsestic approach, Huang offers tools for understanding this shift and decentering contemporary Western conceptions of race, empire, and racial capitalism in the Chinese Century.</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。

Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa【電子書籍】[ David Livingstone ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa," David Livingstone chronicles his extensive journeys through the African continent, blending vivid descriptions of the landscapes with insightful observations of the cultures and peoples he encountered. The narrative is rich with ethnographic detail, reflecting Livingstone's dual role as an explorer and a missionary. His literary style is characterized by a blend of factual reporting and romantic prose, capturing both the challenges of travel and the awe of discovery. This work, published in 1857, stands as a hallmark of early Victorian exploration literature, offering a complex view of colonial attitudes while advocating for humanitarian reforms in Africa. David Livingstone (1813-1873), a Scottish missionary and explorer, was profoundly influenced by his religious convictions and a strong desire to alleviate suffering. His experiences as a missionary in Africa shaped his perspective on the socio-political landscape of the region. Livingstone's intent was not only to spread Christianity but also to explore and document the land, bringing awareness to the challenges faced by African societies amid European colonization. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the interplay of exploration, mission work, and colonialism in the 19th century. Livingstone's candid reflections and vivid storytelling illuminate the complexities of his experiences, making it an essential read for scholars and casual enthusiasts alike.</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。

Iron Fist From The Sea South Africa's Seaborne Raiders 1978-1988【電子書籍】[ Arn? S?derlund ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This seminal work documents the clandestine sea borne operations undertaken by South Africa’s 4 Reconnaissance Commando Regiment. It breathtakingly reveals the versatility and effectiveness of this elite unit which worked with a range of other South African and Rhodesian forces, including the Rhodesian SAS, to engage in a range of raiding and war fighting activities. These operations saw the clandestine reconnaissance of harbors, the sinking of enemy shipping and the destruction of shore installations in Angola and Mozambique. Just some of the tasks undertaken by this extraordinary maritime capability which totaled no more than 45 operators, both black and white!</p> <p>With unparalleled access to previously secret material, the authors, both of whom worked to develop 4 Recce’s operating capabilities, trace the origins of the Regiment back to the 1970’s when the South African’s determined the need for a maritime force projection capability. They relate how maritime doctrine was developed within South Africa’s wider Special Forces capability and how joint operational approaches were configured with the South African Navy. This saw the development of a range of swimmer, reconnaissance, diving and boat operator training courses, along with the design of specialist raiding craft and amphibious assault platforms, which were originated to operate from the Navy’s existing shipping and submarines. All of which demonstrated the immense potential of this newly emergent force and the resourcefulness of its individual operators. Required to successfully complete a grueling selection process, the operators of 4 Recce were relentlessly tested to prove their physical and mental mettle, not to mention their leadership skills and initiative.</p> <p>Steyn and S?derlund’s chronological analysis of the operations undertaken by 4 Recce and the South African Navy is stunning to behold. They impartially detail the secret and specialized actions which saw both success and failure. From Cabinda on the West Coast to Tanzania on the East, 4 Recce, and whose existence and capability was largely kept secret even within the South African Defence Force, conducted numerous clandestine raids. They attacked shipping and strategic targets such as oil facilities, transport infrastructure and even ANC offices. And sometimes the raids did go wrong, spectacularly so in one instance when two operators were killed and Captain Wynand Du Toit was captured. He was later paraded in front of the world’s media, much to the embarrassment of the South African government.</p> <p>This is a fascinating work and one that will enthrall anyone with an interest in Special Forces operations. Profusely illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs, it stands as a testament to the author’s endeavors as, respectively, the former Operations Commander of 4 Recce and the former Commander Task Group of the SA Navy - as well as the incredible operators of 4 Recce.</p> <p>Explosive and compulsive, Iron Fist from the Sea takes you right to the raging surf; to the adrenaline and fear that is sea borne raiding...</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。

Born A Crime Stories from a South African Childhood【電子書籍】[ Trevor Noah ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>WINNER OF THE THURBER PRIZE</strong></p> <p><strong>The compelling, inspiring, (often comic) coming-of-age story of Trevor Noah, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed.</strong></p> <p>One of the comedy world's brightest new voices, Trevor Noah is a light-footed but sharp-minded observer of the absurdities of politics, race and identity, sharing jokes and insights drawn from the wealth of experience acquired in his relatively young life. As host of the US hit show <em>The Daily Show with Trevor Noah,</em> he provides viewers around the globe with their nightly dose of biting satire, but here Noah turns his focus inward, giving readers a deeply personal, heartfelt and humorous look at the world that shaped him.</p> <p>Noah was born a crime, son of a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents' indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the first years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, take him away.</p> <p>A collection of eighteen personal stories, <em>Born a Crime</em> tells the story of a mischievous young boy growing into a restless young man as he struggles to find his place in a world where he was never supposed to exist. <em>Born a Crime</em> is equally the story of that young man's fearless, rebellious and fervently religious mother - a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence and abuse that ultimately threatens her own life.</p> <p>Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Noah illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and an unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a personal portrait of an unlikely childhood in a dangerous time, as moving and unforgettable as the very best memoirs and as funny as Noah's own hilarious stand-up. <em>Born a Crime</em> is a must read.</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。

A “brilliant” (Lupita Nyong’o, <em>Time</em>), “poignant” (<em>Entertainment Weekly</em>), “soul-nourishing” (<em>USA Today</em>) memoir about coming of age during the twilight of apartheid</p> <p>“Noah’s childhood stories are told with all the hilarity and intellect that characterizes his comedy, while illuminating a dark and brutal period in South Africa’s history that must never be forgotten.”ー<em>Esquire</em></p> <p>Winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor and an NAACP Image Award ? Named one of the best books of the year by <em>The New York Time, USA Today, San Francisco Chronicle,</em> NPR, <em>Esquire, Newsday,</em> and <em>Booklist</em>**</p> <p>Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of <em>The Daily Show</em> began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’ indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle.</p> <p><em>Born a Crime</em> is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious motherーhis teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life.</p> <p>The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love.</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。

South African Popular Music【電子書籍】[ Lior Phillips ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>From the storied ache of mbube harmonies of the '40s to the electronic boom of kwaito and the amapiano and house explosion of the '00s, this book explores vignettes taken from across South Africa's popular music history. There are moments in time where music can be a mighty weapon in the fight for freedom. Disguised in a danceable hook or shouted for the world to hear, artists have used songs to deliver important truths and bring listeners together in the face of a segregated reality. In the grip of the brutal apartheid era, South Africa crafted its own idiosyncratic popular musical vernacular that operated both as sociopolitical tool and realm of escape. In a country with 11 official languages, music had the power to unite South Africans in protest. Artists bloomed a new idyll from the branches of countless storied musical traditions, and in turn found themselves banned or exiled-the profound epiphany that music can exist both within the pleasure of itself and for serving a far greater purpose.</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。

Infrastructure and Regulation for Economic Development Institutional Reforms in South Africa’s Network Industries【電子書籍】[ Robert Nkuna ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>South Africa has endured sluggish economic growth and rising unemployment for more than a decade despite repeated recognition that enabling industries such as electricity telecommunications and airport transportation are vital drivers of development. Yet progress has often stalled with high costs and delays arising from contested decisions and blurred responsibilities between policymakers and regulators.</p> <p>This book examines the intricate dynamics within each of these industries while comparing them to reveal how their challenges converge even as their specific emphases differ. Across the sectors, a common theme emerges: institutional weaknesses and fragmented governance have undermined their developmental potential.</p> <p>This analysis calls for bold institutional reform. It proposes the adoption of a National Regulatory Policy to entrench good practice, establish coherence, and ground the systemic application of the theory of change. Forward-looking and adaptive regulation, anchored in robust institutions, is essential for and can be enabled by shifting mindsets to embrace reforms.</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。
