The Circus Infinitus: Genesis Infinitus【電子書籍】[ Ethan Somerville ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Just before his death, the great Renaissance Man Leonardo Da Vinci invented a device with the power to preserve life. Unfortunately the Immortality Machine exploded during the initial test-phase, and the artist was unable to realise his dream of living forever. Bequeathing his most secret notebook, the Da Vinci Codex, to an assistant whom he had nick-named Icarus, Leonardo made the boy promise to perfect the Immortality Machine and test it on himself, and to never let it fall into enemy hands.</p> <p>After Da Vinci died, Icarus fled to England. As well as the Immortality Machine, the Codex also contained blueprints for a teleportation device called the Omniportalis and various other contraptions. Years later Icarus managed to complete the Immortality Machine. This time it worked. He became immortal. But he paid a terrible price.</p> <p>The Machine transformed him into an undead creature.</p> <p>Icarus knew he couldn’t let anyone else get their hands on such a terrible device, and managed to keep it secret in his cellar until the year 1880, when an exiled alien being named Delsaron Delfay stumbled out of a trans-dimensional portal right in front of him. At first Icarus thought the handsome alien was an escaped demon and tried to kill him. But then Delsaron saved him from the police and helped him back to his basement.</p> <p>Icarus helped Delsaron to acclimatise to his new world, and in turn Delsaron helped Icarus to emerge from his squalid basement and start a new life. Unfortunately, they attracted the attention of the mysterious IntelliGent and his new lackeys, imps who’d jumped from the trans-dimensional portal just after Delsaron’s arrival. They were after the Da Vinci Codex.</p> <p>With the Omniportallis in mind, Icarus designed a theatre that would be able to move around the country. He and Delsaron recruited several volunteers to help; down-and-outs whose lives were actually improved by the Immortality Machine. With their help, the theatre was completed and named the Circus Infintus.</p> <p>But the IntelliGent has friends in very high places, and employs a mage from the Stigmata to help track down Icarus and the Da Vinci Codex. Will the embryonic Circus Infinitus even survive to go on its first tour?</p> <p>This book contains gay sex scenes.</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。

Circus Life and Circus Celebrities Enriched edition. Beneath the Big Top: Secrets of Circus Performers and Showbiz Stars【電子書籍】[ Thomas Frost ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Circus Life and Circus Celebrities," Thomas Frost crafts a vivid tableau of the captivating yet perilous world of the circus in the late 19th century. With a rich narrative style that intertwines anecdote and observation, Frost delves into the lives of performers, from acrobats to animal trainers, portraying their triumphs and tribulations against a backdrop of societal fascination. The book not only explores the spectacle of the circus but also addresses the underlying realism of its often harsh conditions, making it a valuable contribution to the genre of literary realism in Victorian literature, reflecting the period's complex relationship with entertainment and the marginalized. Frost, a keen observer and chronicler of popular culture, brings a unique perspective to this work, having been immersed in the circus world himself through his extensive journalistic endeavors. His familiarity with the intricacies of circus life, coupled with his commitment to social commentary, informed his depiction of the characters who juggle both fame and hardship. This background illuminates the authenticity and compassion woven throughout the narratives he presents, distinguishing him as a voice of the underrepresented. Readers with an interest in historical sociology, performance arts, or Victorian literature will find "Circus Life and Circus Celebrities" both enlightening and entertaining. Frost's observational insights allow for a deeper understanding of the circus as a microcosm of broader societal dynamics, making this work an essential read for anyone seeking to appreciate the nuances of life behind the curtain. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - Handーpicked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed 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。

Thieves, Liars and Mountaineers On the 8,000m peak circus in Pakistan【電子書籍】[ Mark Horrell ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>This is the tale of Mark Horrell’s not-so-nearly ascent of Gasherbrum in Pakistan, of how one man’s boredom and frustration was conquered by a gutsy combination of exhaustion, cowardice, and sheer mountaineering incompetence.</p> <p>He made not one, not two, but three intrepid assaults, some of which got quite a distance beyond Base Camp, and overcame many perilous circumstances along the way. The mountaineer Joe Simpson famously crawled for three days with a broken leg, but did he ever have to read <em>Angels and Demons</em> by Dan Brown while waiting for a weather window?</p> <p>But that’s enough about Mark’s attempt; there were some talented climbers on the mountain as well, and this story is also about them. How did they get on? Heroes, villains, oddballs and madmen ? 8,000m peaks attract them all, and drama, intrigue and cock-ups aplenty were inevitable.</p> <p><strong>About this series</strong></p> <p>The <em>Footsteps on the Mountain Diaries</em> are Mark's expedition journals. They are edited versions of what he scribbles in his tent each evening after a day in the mountains, with a bit of history thrown in. Light-hearted and engaging, they provide a perfect introduction to life on the trail.</p> <p>He has published two full-length books: <em>Seven Steps from Snowdon to Everest</em> (2015), about his ten-year journey from hill walker to Everest climber, and <em>Feet and Wheels to Chimborazo</em> (2019), about an expedition to cycle and climb from sea level to the furthest point from the centre of the earth.</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 the Flying Circus【電子書籍】[ Eddie Rickenbacker ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>One of the best first-hand accounts of air combat in World War I, by an American “ace of aces.” Eddie Rickenbacker had an extraordinary career: inventor, race car driver, fighter ace, Medal of Honor winner, and finally president of Eastern Air Lines. In this book he recounts how he achieved 26 confirmed kills in less than a year of combat on the Western Front, rising from the ranks to lead the famed “Hat-in-the-Ring” squadron. Early pilots had to contend with primitive engines, unreliable guns, no parachutes, no oxygen, and wings that could tear off in a dive. Just surviving was a daily challenge, and Rickenbacker saw many friends and comrades die through no fault of their own. In this book he unflinchingly explains all of the errors that he made in combat, and how he learned to become a better dogfighter. He also gives the reader a glimpse of the tremendous psychological pressure that came from being America's leading ace ? every previous holder had been shot down ? and from his own leadership style of leading from the front. This ebook edition includes an active table of contents and 17 photographs, maps, and combat illustrations.</p> <p>Table of Contents:<br /> ? Foreword<br /> ? Glossary<br /> ? I. Introducing “Archy”<br /> ? II. The Aerodrome<br /> ? III. Our First Sorties<br /> ? IV. Downing My First Hun<br /> ? V. Jimmy Meissner Strips His Wings<br /> ? VI. Jimmy Hall’s Last Fight<br /> ?

Satan's Circus Murder, Vice, Police Corruption, and New York's Trial of the Century【電子書籍】[ Mike Dash ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>They called it Satan’s Circusーa square mile of Midtown Manhattan where vice ruled, sin flourished, and depravity danced in every doorway. At the turn of the twentieth century, it was a place where everyone from the chorus girls to the beat cops was on the take and where bad boys became wicked men; a place where an upstanding young policeman such as Charley Becker could become the crookedest cop who ever stood behind a shield.</p> <p>Murder was so common in the vice district that few people were surprised when the loudmouthed owner of a shabby casino was gunned down on the steps of its best hotel. But when, two weeks later, an ambitious district attorney charged Becker with ordering the murder, even the denizens of Satan’s Circus were surprised. The handsome lieutenant was a decorated hero, the renowned leader of New York’s vice-busting Special Squad. Was he a bad cop leading a double life, or a pawn felled by the sinister rogues who ran Manhattan’s underworld?</p> <p>With appearances by the legendary and the notoriousーincluding Big Tim Sullivan, the election-rigging vice lord of Tammany Hall; future president Theodore Roosevelt; beloved gangster Jack Zelig; and the newly famous author Stephen Craneー<em>Satan’s Circus</em> brings to life an almost-forgotten Gotham. Chronicling Charley Becker’s rise and fall, the book tells of the raucous, gaudy, and utterly corrupt city that made him, and recounts not one but two sensational murder trials that landed him in the electric chair.</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。

Fighter Commands Air War, 1941 RAF Circus Operations and Fighter Sweeps Against the Luftwaffe【電子書籍】[ Norman Franks ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>An extensive history of the Royal Air Force's Circus offensive against Nazi Germany in World War II, by the author of <em>Jasta Boelcke</em>.</strong><br /> Following the Battle of Britain, the RAF started taking the air war to the Germans. A small number of bombers, escorted by large numbers of fighters, tried to force the Luftwaffe into battle. Much air combat ensued, but it was not until Germany invaded Russia in June, 1941, that operations were stepped up in an effort to take pressure off Stalin's Russian Front. Two major German fighter groups, JG26 and JG2, were, however, more than able to contain the RAF's operations, generally only intercepting when conditions were in their favor. As author Norman Franks describes, over-claiming combat victories by pilots of both sides is amazing, and several of the top aces had inflated scores. Fighter Command, however, lost massively even though they believed they were inflicting equal, if not better, losses on the Luftwaffe. This battle of attrition was virtually a reverse of the 1940 battles over England, and pilots who had to bail out over France, were lost completely.<br /> The book covers the 100+ Circus operations and their accompanying fighter sweeps in detail, while also mentioning lesser operations where the RAF were concerned. The tactics employed by both sides are examined and show how each fighter force quickly adapted to changing conditions tempered by experiences gained in air combat.</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。

Insane Clown President Dispatches from the 2016 Circus【電子書籍】[ Matt Taibbi ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong><em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> BESTSELLER ? Dispatches from the 2016 election that provide an eerily prescient take on our democracy’s uncertain future, by the country’s most perceptive and fearless political journalist.</strong></p> <p>In twenty-five pieces from <em>Rolling Stone</em>ーplus two original essaysーMatt Taibbi tells the story of Western civilization’s very own train wreck, from its tragicomic beginnings to its apocalyptic conclusion. Years before the clown car of candidates was fully loaded, Taibbi grasped the essential themes of the story: the power of spectacle over substance, or even truth; the absence of a shared reality; the nihilistic rebellion of the white working class; the death of the political establishment; and the emergence of a new, explicit form of white nationalism that would destroy what was left of the Kingian dream of a successful pluralistic society.</p> <p>Taibbi captures, with dead-on, real-time analysis, the failures of the right and the left, from the thwarted Bernie Sanders insurgency to the flawed and aimless Hillary Clinton campaign; the rise of the “dangerously bright” alt-right with its wall-loving identity politics and its rapturous view of the “Racial Holy War” to come; and the giant fail of a flailing, reactive political media that fed a ravenous news cycle not with reporting on political ideology, but with undigested propaganda served straight from the campaign bubble. At the center of it all stands Donald J. Trump, leading a historic revolt against his own party, “bloviating and farting his way” through the campaign, “saying outrageous things, acting like Hitler one minute and Andrew Dice Clay the next.” For Taibbi, the stunning rise of Trump marks the apotheosis of the new postfactual movement.</p> <p>Taibbi frames the reporting with original essays that explore the seismic shift in how we perceive our national institutions, the democratic process, and the future of the country. <em>Insane Clown President</em> is not just a postmortem on the collapse and failure of American democracy. It offers the riveting, surreal, unique, and essential experience of seeing the future in hindsight.</p> <p><strong>“Scathing . . . What keeps the pages turning in this so freshly familiar story line is the vivid observation and original turns of phrase.”<em>ー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。
