CLARKE AWARD 2017</strong></p> <p><strong>LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2017</strong></p> <p><strong>NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER 2016</strong></p> <p><strong>AMAZON.COM #1 BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016</strong></p> <p><strong>#1 <em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> BESTSELLER AND A <em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> BOOK OF THE YEAR</strong></p> <p><strong>'Whitehead is on a roll: the reviews have been sublime' <em>Guardian</em></strong></p> <p><strong>'Luminous, furious, wildly inventive' <em>Observer</em></strong></p> <p><strong>'Hands down one of the best, if not the best, book I've read this year' <em>Stylist</em></strong></p> <p><strong>'Dazzling' <em>New York Review of Books</em></strong></p> <p>Praised by Barack Obama and an Oprah Book Club Pick, <em><strong>The Underground Railroad</strong></em> by Colson Whitehead won the National Book Award 2016 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2017.</p> <p>Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. All the slaves lead a hellish existence, but Cora has it worse than most; she is an outcast even among her fellow Africans and she is approaching womanhood, where it is clear even greater pain awaits. When Caesar, a slave recently arrived from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they take the perilous decision to escape to the North.</p> <p>In Whitehead's razor-sharp imagining of the antebellum South, the Underground Railroad has assumed a physical form: a dilapidated box car pulled along subterranean tracks by a steam locomotive, picking up fugitives wherever it can. Cora and Caesar's first stop is South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But its placid surface masks an infernal scheme designed for its unknowing black inhabitants. And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher sent to find Cora, is close on their heels. Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight, state by state, seeking true freedom.</p> <p>At each stop on her journey, Cora encounters a different world. As Whitehead brilliantly recreates the unique terrors for black people in the pre-Civil War era, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America, from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. <em>The Underground Railroad</em> is at once the story of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shatteringly powerful meditation on 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。

One More for the White Rat The 1987 St. Louis Cardinals Chase the Pennant【電子書籍】[ Doug Feldmann ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Despite being picked to finish dead last in the National League’s Eastern Division, the 1985 St. Louis Cardinals astounded the sports world by winning 101 regular-season games, capturing the pennant, and playing in the World Series. With expectations greatly elevated going forward, manager Whitey Herzog and his team subsequently endured a rash of injuries and poor performances from key players that sent the 1986 season into a tailspin. The veteran skipper had never seen the likes of it before in his professional baseball career, and he even considered tendering his resignation midyear to team owner August A. Busch Jr. Herzog was uncertain which version of the ball club would surface entering 1987, as their clash for divisional honors with the New York Mets was rekindled once again.</p> <p>Though observers at the start of the 1987 season once again gave them no chance to win their division, the Cardinals chased victory. Herzog’s style of play, nicknamed “Whiteyball,” terrorized opponents with its daring baserunning led by Vince Coleman and Ozzie Smith. Veteran players and newcomers, including Jack Clark and Tony Pe?a, returned the Cardinals to contention.</p> <p><em>One More for the White Rat</em> features contemporary interviews with members of the 1987 Cardinals and compelling stories and colorful insights into that incredible summer. Veteran Cardinals author Doug Feldmann takes the reader inside the St. Louis locker room and onto the field for the daily struggles and triumphs that made the 1987 baseball season unlike any other.</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 Woman in White【電子書籍】[ Wilkie Collins ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This is the story of what a Woman's patience can endure, and what a Man's resolution can achieve.<br /> If the machinery of the Law could be depended on to fathom every case of suspicion, and to conduct every process of inquiry, with moderate assistance only from the lubricating influences of oil of gold, the events which fill these pages might have claimed their share of the public attention in a Court of Justice.<br /> But the Law is still, in certain inevitable cases, the pre-engaged servant of the long purse; and the story is left to be told, for the first time, in this place. As the Judge might once have heard it, so the Reader shall hear it now. No circumstance of importance, from the beginning to the end of the disclosure, shall be related on hearsay evidence. When the writer of these introductory lines (Walter Hartright by name) happens to be more closely connected than others with the incidents to be recorded, he will describe them in his own person. When his experience fails, he will retire from the position of narrator; and his task will be continued, from the point at which he has left it off, by other persons who can speak to the circumstances under notice from their own knowledge, just as clearly and positively as he has spoken before 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。

THE CALL OF THE WILD & WHITE FANG Adventure Classics of the American North【電子書籍】[ Jack London ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Call of the Wild" and "White Fang," Jack London masterfully explores the themes of survival, instinct, and the stark realities of nature through the experiences of his two canine protagonists. Written in a vivid, yet accessible style, these narratives encapsulate the raw power of the wild, interspersed with moments of brutality and beauty. London's sharp imagery and evocative language invite readers into the Alaskan wilderness, showcasing the struggle for existence while subtly commenting on evolution and the animalistic traits present in humanity. The dual narrative structure amplifies the contrast between civilization and the natural world, effectively framing the philosophical underpinnings of his work within the context of the American literary naturalism movement at the turn of the 20th century. Jack London's own life experiences profoundly influenced these works; born in 1876, he faced poverty and hardship that instilled a deep appreciation for the untamed world. His endeavors as a gold prospector in the Yukon molded his understanding of survival in harsh conditions, infusing the narratives with authenticity and personal insight. London's adventurous spirit and belief in the primal drive of life serve as a backdrop to his captivating storytelling, making his insights resonate with profound truth. "The Call of the Wild & White Fang" is an essential read for those intrigued by the human-animal connection and the exploration of instinctual drives. This classic pair of novellas not only entertains but also invites deep reflection on nature's duality, making it a must-read for literature enthusiasts and anyone passionate about the themes of survival and identity. With London's unmatched ability to immerse readers in the wild, both tales offer an unforgettable journey that exemplifies his literary genius.</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 King of White Hart Lane The Authorised Biography of Alan Gilzean【電子書籍】[ Mike Donovan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p><em>The King of White Hart Lane</em> is the authorised life story of Alan Gilzean, the legendary, world-class Tottenham Hotspur, Dundee and Scotland footballer. Exclusive insights provided by his family, closest friends and colleagues add to the author's own experience to reveal Gilzean, the man and the player. A reserved, charming and intelligent individual who shunned the limelight off the field, Gilzean played with a swagger as a maker and taker of goals, especially alongside Jimmy Greaves at Spurs. We discover how the native of the Perthshire town of Coupar Angus became one of the greatest performers in the history of both his clubs. Gilzean emerged a Scottish folk hero having scored the winning goal against England in front of 133,000 at Hampden Park - and was later welcomed back with open arms by the game after ending a self-imposed exile during which the uninformed conjured often defamatory myths. The elegant striker dubbed 'Nureyev in Boots' left us on Sunday, 8 July 2018.

Women and the White House Gender, Popular Culture, and Presidential Politics【電子書籍】[ Justin S. Vaughn ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>As the first female vice president takes office, this volume explores gender perceptions and the executive role: “An important, impressive book” (Lane Crothers, author of <em>Globalization and American Popular Culture</em>).</strong></p> <p>The president of the United States has traditionally served as a symbol of power, virtue, ability, dominance, popularity, and patriarchy. In recent years, however, a number of high-profile female candidacies have provoked new interest in gendered popular culture and how it influences Americans’ perceptions of the country's highest political office.</p> <p>In this timely volume, editors Justin S. Vaughn and Lilly J. Goren lead a team of scholars in examining how the president and the first lady exist as a function of public expectations and cultural gender roles. The authors investigate how the candidates’ messages are conveyed, altered, and interpreted in “hard” and “soft” media forums, from the nightly news to daytime talk shows, and from tabloids to the blogosphere. They also address the portrayal of the presidency in film and television productions such as 1964’s <em>Kisses for My President</em> and 2005’s <em>Commander in Chief</em>.</p> <p>With its strong, multidisciplinary approach, <em>Women and the White House</em> commences a wider discussion about the growing possibility of a female president in the United States, the ways in which popular perceptions of gender will impact her leadership, and the cultural challenges she will face.</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 Crimson Petal and the White A Novel【電子書籍】[ Michel Faber ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A teenage prostitute ascends through the many layers of Victorian London society in this highly acclaimed “big, sexy, bravura a novel” (Janet Maslin, <em>The New York Times</em>).</strong></p> <p><em>London, 1870s</em>. At the heart of this panoramic narrative is a young woman’s struggle to lift her body and soul out of the gutter. Sugar, a nineteen-year-old whore in the brothel of the terrifying Mrs. Castaway, yearns for a better life. Her ascent through the strata of Victorian society begins with the egotistical perfume magnate William Rackham. Infatuated with Sugar, William’s patronage brings her into the circles of his family and milieu: his wife who barely overcomes chronic hysteria to make her appearances during “the Season”; his mysteriously hidden-away daughter, left to the care of minions; his pious brother, foiled in his devotional calling by his lust for the Widow Fox; as well as preening socialites, drunken journalists, untrustworthy servants, vile guttersnipes, and whores of all stripes and persuasions.</p> <p>Twenty years in its conception, research, and writing, <em>The Crimson Petal and the White</em> is teeming with life, rich in texture and incident, with breathtakingly real characters. "Cocky and brilliant, amused and angry, [Faber] is rightfully earning comparisons to observer extraordinaire Charles Dickens. . . . It's hopeless to resist" (<em>Entertainment Weekly</em>).</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 Beginning of the End of Racism in America Black & White【電子書籍】[ Elaine Sharp ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The Beginning of the End of Racism in America: Black and White is a progressive and pragmatic book that is the antidote to the disease of ignorance and poison of racism. It reflects intimately the causes of these maladies, the results of these maladies, and what must be done in order to completely do away with these maladies. There is no doubt in our mind that, if applied appropriately, the knowledge coupled with the principles of The Beginning of the End of Racism in America will have the changing power to influence, impact, and change anyone with the slightest willingness to want to change, especially inner cities youth to stop the violence with a mind-set for change of its effect on all of us. The Beginning of the End of Racism in America: Black and White can be used as a learning/teaching instrument toward redirecting the behavior of our youth to understanding the complicated design of racism and its effects on their attitudes toward all members of our society, most importantly, African-Americans. Hopefully, this book will become an eye-opener for many and an enlightenment for race relations to build upon in our nation by facing and accepting the truth of the matter. It is truly time to live up to our name the United States of America to manifest into the United People of America. Finally, we believe that the truth will make you free. Therefore, if everything remains the same and nothing changes, this book will truly allow everyone who reads it the opportunity to imagine and feel what our nation would look like without racism, black, and white. Certainly, this will make us all free in our mind and spirit, and perhaps begin to connect us in a new 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。
