Dissolving into Being the Wisdom of Sufi Philosophy【電子書籍】[ Wiiliam Rory Dickson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Dissolving into Being is a brilliant new introduction to Sufi philosophy, a tradition traced back to the works of Sufism' s most renowned master, Ibn ‘ Arabi (d. 1240). To help bridge the gap between specialized studies of Ibn ‘ Arabi and a more general readership, Dissolving into Being highlights several of his insights, on subjects ranging from the origin of the world and the reality of love, to the nature of life after death, destiny, peace and conflict, and religious diversity, all through an exploration of his masterwork Gemstones of Wisdom (Fusus al-hikam).</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。 7,553円

Maggie Carpenter led a seemingly quiet life as a teacher in Manchester, but as the fighting intensifies she quits her peaceful existence to do her bit for the war effort. As part of an army of girls working on the canals to deliver essential supplies around the country, Maggie's world is far from comfortable. She has to share a tiny cabin with two strangers, where there's no running water and a questionable lavatory set-up.</p> <p>As the girls get used to their new back-breaking work, they grow gradually closer, but what they don't realise is that they all have secrets in their pasts. Maggie had to flee Manchester following an illicit affair while seemingly well-to-do Elizabeth is on the run from money woes. Soon they're thrown into an unlikely alliance when they discover a deserter - a Dunkirk veteran - and it seems the only person who can help them is a young Army padre who has his own demons to fight. Against her better judgement Maggie finds herself drawn to this mysterious padre, but at what cost? As a woman scarred by romance and the pitfalls of her past, can she really let him in and learn to trust again?</p> <p><strong>Don't miss the first four books in the collection - <em>Lily's War</em>, RNA winning <em>Bobby's War</em>, <em>Hannah's War</em> and <em>Bridget's War</em>.

On God's Payroll From the Depression Era Prairies of South Dakota to the WWII Islands of the South Pacific and Back【電子書籍】[ Arno W. Schroeder ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>On God's Payroll: From the Depression Era Prairies of South Dakota to the WWII Islands of the South Pacific and Back is the compilation of over two hundred handwritten personal stories of the unique and full life of Arno W. Schroeder. Arno's life, told through his own words, reflects his deep personal faith in God, formative years far different than those experienced by today's youth, and a life filled with unique experiences, including those of a twenty-year-old Marine fighting and surviving the frontline battles of Okinawa during WWII. Taken individually as they were written, the topics of the stories are broad and wide-ranging--from historical, informative, and humorous to serious, silly, and reflective. But assembled as a collection, the individual stories become a book of the history of the Great Depression; the crazy antics of a restless, overactive young farm lad (who said of himself, "...when I think of all the silly, dumb, stupid, crazy, unexpected and unusual things I always seemed to be doing, maybe I was all the entertainment my family could handle"); the lifelong impact war has on those that have fought to defend America's freedoms; and the vastly different life experiences between individuals of the Greatest Generation and subsequent generations, just to name a few.</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。 1,372円

Immigrant's Son A German American Boy Sees WWII From Both Sides【電子書籍】[ Paul Schubert ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>ON THE NIGHT OF December 7, 1941, Paul William Schubert and his parents leaned close to their Majestic radio in their Wisconsin home to hear President Roosevelt discuss the Day of Infamy and declare war on Japan. "Germany's next," his parents predicted anxiously. They were German immigrants with parents, siblings, cousins, and nephews already embroiled in war in the Old Country. Now many of them might find themselves fighting relatives across the Atlantic. During the next four years, the Schuberts witnessed war from the homefront as well as the American and German warfronts. The boy grew into a storyteller who has recorded his memories of his family's dramas, deaths, and deprivations that took place on both sides of the ocean during World War II. For 75 years, Schubert took notes, kept family memorabilia, and gathered his memories, vowing to write a book about his wartime experiences one day. That day began fourteen years ago, when he launched the Cedar Chips, a writing group based in Dexter, Michigan. Immigrants' Son: A German-American Boy Sees WWII From Both Sides is a conversion of his memories into a memoir, honed and polished with the help of a dedicated author, countless workshops, and the encouragement of friends who always wanted to hear more.</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。 823円

Hell Above Earth The Incredible True Story of an American WWII Bomber Commander and the Copilot Ordered to Kill Him【電子書籍】[ Stephen Frater ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>"After the twists and turns in Goering's many missions, Frater finishes with a stunning revelation . . . the author delivers an exciting read full of little-known facts about the war. A WWII thrill ride." - <em>Kirkus Reviews</em></strong></p> <p>The U.S. air battle over Nazi Germany in WWII was hell above earth. For bomber crews, every day they flew was like D-Day, exacting a terrible physical and emotional toll. Twenty-year-old U.S. Captain Werner Goering, accepted this, even thrived on and welcomed the adrenaline rush. He was an exceptional pilotーand the nephew of Hermann G?ring, leading member of the Nazi party and commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe.</p> <p>The FBI and the American military would not prevent Werner from serving his American homeland, but neither would they risk the propaganda coup that his desertion or capture would represent for Nazi Germany. J. Edgar Hoover issued a top-secret order that if Captain Goering's plane was downed for any reason over Nazi-occupied Europe, someone would be there in the cockpit to shoot Goering dead. FBI agents found a man capable of accomplishing the task in Jack Rencher, a tough, insular B-17 instructor who also happened to be one of the Army's best pistol shots. That Jack and Werner became unlikely friends is just one more twist in one of the most incredible untold tales of WWII.</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

Operation Chowhound The Most Risky, Most Glorious US Bomber Mission of WWII【電子書籍】[ Stephen Dando-Collins ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The true story of a little-known, yet remarkable World War II operation, which had all the hallmarks of a suicide mission.</strong></p> <p>Beginning with a crazy plan hatched by a suspect prince, and an even crazier reliance on the word of the Nazis, Operation Chowhound was devised. Between May 1 and May 8, 1945, 2,268 military units flown by the USAAF, dropped food to 3.5 million starving Dutch civilians in German-occupied Holland.</p> <p>It took raw courage to fly on Operation Chowhound, as American aircrews never knew when the German AAA might open fire on them or if Luftwaffe fighters might jump them. Flying at 400 feet, barely above the tree tops, with guns pointed directly at them, they would have no chance to bail out if their B-17s were hitーand yet, over eight days, 120,000 German troops kept their word, and never fired on the American bombers. As they flew, grateful Dutch civilians spelled out "Thanks Boys" in the tulip fields below. Many Americans who flew in Operation Chowhound would claim it was the best thing they did in the war.</p> <p>In this gripping narrative, author Stephen Dando-Collins takes the reader into the rooms where Operation Chowhound was born, into the aircraft flying the mission, and onto the ground in the Netherlands with the civilians who so desperately needed help. James Bond creator Ian Fleming, Hollywood actress Audrey Hepburn, as well as Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and Churchill all play a part in this story, creating a compelling, narrative 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。 1,936円

Even Without Blood The remarkable story of an orphaned boy in WWII Java【電子書籍】[ Birgit Treipl ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>How would you feel if, at eight years old, you lost your parents, a war began, and you were declared an enemy of the state? This is the reality for a young boy named Victor on the brink of WWII. <em>Even Without Blood</em> is a profoundly moving debut novel based on a true story of familial displacement spanning Indonesia, Austria, Holland, and Canada. This novel was first published in Dutch as <em>Schuilen tussen bamboe</em> by HarperCollins Holland and praised by Dutch readers as a compelling page-turner.</strong></p> <p>Java, 1939.<br /> Victor, the only child of an Austrian couple who settled in Java (a Dutch colony until 1949) in 1910, is born into a life of privilege. However, his world is shattered when he loses both parents at the age of eight, just before the outbreak of World War II. Due to Austria’s annexation by the German Empire, Victor’s family is suddenly labelled an enemy of the state by the Dutch government. As a result, their possessions, including Grand Hotel Lembang, are seized. Family members are sent to Dutch camps, while Victor and his aunt are interned in an isolated mountain village. As Victor matures, a hidden family secret of infidelity and his own illicit origins come to light, leading him to a profound search for identity.</p> <p>At twenty-five, amidst political turmoil in Indonesia, Victor makes the life-altering decision to leave his homeland for Europe, embarking on a transformative journey that ultimately leads him to the love of his life.</p> <p>From a lively child, Victor learns to become invisible in a world where silence is survival. This instinct, protecting himself and his loved ones, ultimately becomes a hindrance, leading to physical illness. Victor must find his voice. You will come to love Victor as he grows from a vulnerable child into a resilient man. You fear for him, mourn with him and share in his triumphs. His relationship with his aunt Hildaーa complex, determined, and generous womanーis a constant source of love, guilt, discovery, and support throughout the war.</p> <p><em>Even Without Blood</em> is based on a true yet untold story, revealing a little-known chapter of WWII history. It explores the complex intersections of colonialism, political upheaval, the decolonization of Indonesia, and the profound impact these forces had on families.</p> <p>This novel weaves together the colonial history depicted in Heather B. Moore’s <em>Under the Java Moon</em>, the vivid civilian wartime experiences portrayed in Mark Sullivan’s <em>Beneath a Scarlet Sky</em>, and the complexities of familial displacement explored in Janika Oza’s <em>A History of Burning</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。 1,178円

Sarah Sommerfeld: So Deep Is the Heart WWII【電子書籍】[ F. Venter ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This evocative narrative weaves together medical insights, psychological analyses, philosophical musings, and spiritual reflections to explore the theme of love: the core and essence of our very being, the perpetual yearning of our deepest true self. As fashioned in and after Love’s image and likeness, love ever seeks its fulfilment; and the closer touched, the stronger it draws, as seeking its own perfected end. And from the joyous foretasting sips here, the measure of contentment of future fulness may wisely be guessed at. And since the subconscious depths of the heart are surfaced by crises such as war, its study then is particularly instructive, namely of true feeling, humanity, compassion ? as of a different level and type of happiness. Set against the backdrop of wartime Germany, the story centres on two interconnected families. One family endures the harsh realities of urban warfare, while in a rural setting, a grandfather discovers four Jewish children and a French outcast hiding in the woods. He hides them on his farm. Naturally, relationships developed and bloomed. Among these, however, one relationship fails tragically, the loss leading to a poignant journey of desperately seeking solace ? culminating in an encounter with Sarah. This book is not just a tale of love of some common peoples’ joys and sorrows but a quest to better understand the very nature of the human heart and its profound, universal principles.</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。 727円

Mystical Power and Politics on the Swahili Coast Uchawi in Pemba【電子書籍】[ Dr Nathalie Arnold Koenings ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Traces changing visions of mystical power and authority on the island of Pemba, whose people's reputed resistance to outside rule has shaped the national narratives of both Zanzibar and Tanzania.</strong></p> <p>For two centuries, Pemba, the second largest island of Zanzibar, has been known by East Africans and outsiders alike as rich in dangerous knowledge. Despite Pembans' reputation for piety and deep Islamic knowledge,<em>uchawi</em>- 'mystical work and power', sometimes termed 'magic', 'witchcraft', or 'sorcery' - has long featured in diverse visions of their identity and as key to worldly power. Today, as traditional methods of securing agency are called into question and new ways proliferate, the mystical world is an intensely conflicted realm where the nature of power, ethical action, and reality itself is continually reframed.</p> <p>This luminous ethnography follows Pemban notions of invisible and worldly power through the Zanzibar Revolution of 1964, the trials of multiparty democracy, the rise of Islamic revival, and intensifying neoliberalism. Through an exploration of rural imaginings of power, it argues that nations and the grammars that underwrite them are made in and by their peripheries, which give 'the centre' shape.? Highlighting the intersections of mystical practices, religion, and politics-as-such on the Swahili Coast, the book contributes new perspectives to studies of the imagination, power, and religious transformation in Africa, the Indian Ocean, and the larger Islamic world.</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。 4,113円

The Art Spy The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WWII Resistance Hero Rose Valland【電子書籍】[ Michelle Young ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A riveting and stylish saga set in Paris during World War II, THE ART SPY uncovers how an unlikely heroine infiltrated the Nazi leadership to save the cultural legacy of the West.</strong></p> <p>On August 25, 1944, Rose Valland, a woman of quiet daring, found herself in a terrifying position. As the battle to liberate Paris thundered around her, her beloved Jeu de Paume museum, where she had worked and ultimately spied, had become a central location for the battle, due to the Nazi leadership’s use of the building. Would the museum curator be killed before she could tell the truthーa story that would mean saving humanity's cultural inheritance?</p> <p>Based on troves of previously undiscovered documents, <em>The Art Spy</em> chronicles the brave actions of the key Resistance spy in the heart of the Nazi’s art looting headquarters in the French capital. A veritable female Monuments Man, Valland has, until now, been written out of the annals, despite bearing witness to history’s largest art theft. While Hitler was amassing stolen art for his future F?hrermuseum, Valland, his undercover adversary, secretly worked to stop him.</p> <p>At every stage of World War II, Valland was front and center. She came face to face with Reichsmarschall Hermann G?ring, passed crucial information to the Resistance network, put herself deliberately in harm’s way to protect the museum and her staff, and faced death during the last hours of Liberation Day. She also singlehandedly provided information to stop the last train of looted artworksーbearing paintings by Picasso, Monet, Cezanne, Gauguin, Braque, Degas, Modigliani, and Toulouse-Lautrecーfrom leaving France.</p> <p>Vivid and atmospheric, <em>The Art Spy</em> moves from the glittering days of pre-War Paris, home to geniuses of modern culture, including Picasso, Josephine Baker, Coco Chanel, Le Corbusier, and Frida Kahlo, through the tension-riddled cities and resorts of Europe on the eve of war, to the harrowing years of the Nazi occupation of France when brave people such as Valland risked everything to fight monstrous evil.</p> <p>In the spirit of <em>Hidden Figures</em>, with the sweeping narrative of <em>The Rape of Europa</em> and the depth of The Resistance Quartet, <em>The Art Spy</em> is an extraordinary tale of a female hero whose courage and tenacity in a time of violence and terror is an inspiration for us all.</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。 2,911円

<p>Did you grow up hearing "war stories'' from your father or grandfather? Are you a history buff and can't get enough of WWII? Memorial Road offers a different perspective on the war from the experiences of a true ground soldier. Most WWII books are written or told by Colonials or Generals, high ranking officers. John C Estes was a young, hard working family man, practical joker, and volunteer from the state of Tennessee who gave up his deferment status and joined the Army to help his President. In doing so, he trained as a combat engineer and received Army Ranger training. He moved to the front line on Day-D, June 6, 1944, in Normandy and kept his feet on the ground touring Europe through occupation until December 9, 1045. He said he became a foreign soil expert because he dug so many fox holes. He and a buddy robbed a Nazi owned bank and after the war he used the money during occupation to rebuild a war devastated German town. He survived numerous deadly situations but suffered only a scratch and a small case of scabies and returned home penniless. This is not a technical book; Instead, it's about the human side of the most hideous time in 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。 410円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A powerful and true story of warfare and human survival that exposes a side of World War II that is unknown by manyー this is the story of Wolfram A?chele, a boy whose childhood was stolen by a war in which he had no choice but to fight.</strong></p> <p>Giles Milton has been a writer and historian for many years, writing about people and places that history has forgotten. But it took his young daughter's depiction of a swastika on an imaginary family shield - the swastika representing Germany - for Giles to uncover the incredible, dark story of his own family and his father-in-law's life under Hitler's regime.</p> <p>As German citizens during World War II, Wolfram and his Bohemian, artist parents survived one of the most brutal eras of history. Wolfram, who was only nine years old when Hitler came to power, lived through the rise and fall of the Third Reich, from the earliest street marches to the final defeat of the Nazi regime. Conscripted into Hitler's army, he witnessed the brutality of war - first on the Russian front and then on the Normandy beaches.</p> <p>Seen through German eyes and written with remarkable sensitivity, The Boy Who Went to War is a powerful story of warfare and human survival and a reminder to us all that civilians on both sides suffered the consequences of Hitler's war*.*</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
