Symphonies: 'Because I dare dream yet of joy''【電子書籍】[ John Gould Fletcher ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>John Gould Fletcher was born in Little Rock, Arkansas on 3rd January 1886 to a socially prominent family.</p> <p>He was educated at Phillips Academy, Andover before advancing to Harvard University which he attended from 1903 to 1907, before dropping out after his father's death.</p> <p>As a young man Fletcher spent many years in England where he became part of the influential Imagist group of poets together with Amy Lowell and Ezra Pound.</p> <p>His first marriage came from a resumed relationship with the now married Florence Emily ‘Daisy’ Arbuthnot. Her adultery with Fletcher was the grounds for her divorce from Malcolm Arbuthnot. They married on 5th July 1916 but later divorced.</p> <p>Fletcher first published in 1912, with ‘The Dominant City’ too much praise and admiration and followed this with other well-regarded volumes such as ‘Irradiations: Sand and Spray’, and ‘Goblins and Pagodas’.</p> <p>In the late 1920s and 1930s Fletcher became increasingly active with a group of Southern writers and poets known as the Southern Agrarians. They published the classic ‘I'll Take My Stand: The South and the Agrarian Tradition’.</p> <p>Although he was highly regarded as a poet he was not very prolific. However, such was the undoubted quality that in 1939 he received the Pulitzer Prize for his work ‘Selected Poems’. He was the first poet from the south to receive such an accolade. Fletcher’s other passion and pursuit was as an authority on modern painting, a subject on which he also published.</p> <p>A second marriage followed in 1936 to the children’s author, Charlie May Simon. They built ‘Johnswood’, a residence on the bluffs of the Arkansas River and travelled frequently to New York for shots of modern culture and intellectual stimulation as well as to the American West and South for the climate after Fletcher developed chronic arthritis.</p> <p>In 1937 he wrote his autobiography, ‘Life is My Song’.</p> <p>His developing passion for his roots and background resulted in the writing of a history of his State and published in 1947; ‘Arkansas’.</p> <p>By now Fletcher was suffering from bouts of depression and on 10th May 1950, he committed suicide by drowning himself in a pond near his home in Little Rock, Arkansas.</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。 625円

A Triumph of Genius Edwin Land, Polaroid, and the Kodak Patent War【電子書籍】[ Ronald K. Fierstein ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>One man Steve Jobs outspokenly admired was Edwin Land, the creator of Polaroid’s instant photography. Jobs revered Land as "a national treasure," and modeled much of his career after his. Neither had a college degree, but both men built highly successful, innovative organizations. Both were perfectionists, micro-managers with fanatic attention to detail, consummate showmen and marketers. In many ways, Edwin Land was the original Steve Jobs.</p> <p>This riveting biography from the American Bar Association, visits the spectacular life of Edwin Land, breakthrough inventor. At the time of his death, he stood third on the list of our most prolific inventors, behind only Thomas Edison and one of Edison’s colleagues. Land’s most famous achievement of course, was the creation of a type of film and camera that could produce a photographic print an instant after the picture was taken. The book takes you behind the scenes of his discoveries, his triumphs, and defeats. This book presents an unprecedented look at a reclusive genius.</p> <p>You'll learn details of Land’s involvement over four decades with top-secret U.S. military intelligence efforts during World War II and through the Cold War in the service of seven American presidents. Additionally, you'll thrill to the compelling first-hand look at perhaps our nation’s most important legal battles over intellectual property - Kodak versus Polaroid. This corporate and legal struggle is a story of almost operatic dimension. What began as a cooperative and collegial relationship ended in Kodak's betrayal. The conflict led to an epic legal battle, a dramatic event for Land who, from the witness stand, personally starred in a compelling courtroom drama.</p> <p>More than a simple biography, this fascinating book details the most significant patent litigation of the 20th century over the one-step photography technology developed by Polaroid and its founder, Dr. Edwin H. Land. It's a biographical legal thriller that is not to be missed!</p> <p><em>"Edwin Land was a multi-faceted genius, and his Polaroid was a quintessential American success story. With great skill, Ron Fierstein tells the full story of the company’s epic court battle with Kodak for the first time - a sobering tale with many lessons for 21st-century entrepreneurs</em>."<br /> - <strong>Harry McCracken, Technology Editor, Fast Company magazine</strong></p> <p><strong>About the Author</strong></p> <p><strong>Ronald K. Fierstein</strong> was a young lawyer on the team of litigators from the prestigious patent law firm of Fish & Neave representing Polaroid in its epic patent battle with Eastman Kodak over instant photography technology. He had the unique experience of working closely with Polaroid’s two main witnesses, Dr. Edwin Land and Howard Rogers, during the discovery phase of the litigation and then throughout the dramatic federal court trial in Boston. After leaving the practice of law in the early 1980s, he has enjoyed a long and successful career in the entertainment industry, representing artists in the recording (Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin, Mary Chapin Carpenter) and theater (Harvey Fierstein) industries. Ron lives with his wife in Chappaqua, NY, and spends as much time as he can at their second home on the beautiful island of North Hero, VT. They have two grown sons.</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。 3,739円

Symphony Nova Scotia at 54 A Milestone of Musical History【電子書籍】[ Mary Lu MacDonald ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Music has been a significant part of life in Mi’kma’ki for many thousands of years, and classical music in particular since the founding of Halifax in 1749. Musicians of various European origins brought their instruments, musical traditions, and tastes with them, and their commitment to and joy of music-making planted the seeds for the vibrant Symphony Nova Scotia we know today. The region’s musical story is a testament to the hard work and creativity of the musicians who have shared their music so generously over the centuries, the instrument makers, composers, and music teachers who worked alongside them, and the scores of dedicated community volunteers who supported them. This book tells their stories. Symphony Nova Scotia at 40: A Milestone of Musical History marks the fortieth anniversary of Symphony Nova Scotia and offers a fascinating cultural history that explores in three parts how the region’s musical past laid the ground for the orchestra’s future. The book features dozens of archival images, a foreword by world-renowned Cape Breton fiddler Natalie MacMaster, and an introduction by SNS Music Director Holly Mathieson. Written by long-time Symphony Nova Scotia supporters and board members Mary Lu MacDonald (an historian), Adrian Hoffman (a musician), and Jane Gordon (a sociologist), Symphony Nova Scotia at 40 is a one-of-a-kind collector’s item and a treasured keepsake for all lovers of orchestral music and Nova Scotia’s rich cultural 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。 1,174円

Eroica The First Great Romantic Symphony【電子書籍】[ James Hamilton-Paterson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In 1805, the world of music was set on its ears by a new work from a German composer. Intellectually and emotionally, Beethoven's Third Symphony, the 'Eroica', was revolutionary music. After those first two stunning chords, Western music was never the same again. And the whiff of actual political revolution was woven into the work, for it was originally dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte, a dangerous hero for a composer dependent on conservative royal patronage.</p> <p>James Hamilton-Paterson reconstructs this great moment in Western culture, the shock of the music and the symphony's long afterlife.</p> <p>The Landmark Library is a testament to the achievements of mankind from the late stone age to the present day. Each volume is handsomely illustrated and carries a text of 25,000 words devoted to a crucial theme in the history of civilization.</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。 873円

Bach and Baroque European Source Materials from the Baroque and Early Classical Periods With Special Emphasis on the Music of J.S. Bach【電子書籍】[ Anthony Newman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Most articles written about performance practice deal with relatively small areas (trills, over dotting, etc.) placing emphasis on citing original sources or collating several original sources in order to support a given position. There is not sufficient information in these articles to deal with all aspects of Baroque style. This text was built on the premise that as many conclusions as possible should be drawn from the sources themselves. Leaps to conclusions about other aspects of style insufficiently documented in sources are made on the basis of the author's own experience as performer. There are different conclusions that one can reach, as the area is large and some aspects of style find the various sources in disagreement(e.g., time signatures) or are simply not discussed. Most of the source disagreements stem from national differences in style. This text which includes regular assignments may be used as main material for a course on the performance of the music of J.S. Bach or for a course on Baroque performance practice in general.

Gilles Deleuze and Film Criticism Philosophy, Theory, and the Individual Film【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book is the first collection of essays to offer detailed examinations of the role that close attention to individual films plays in the philosopher Gilles Deleuze’s work on cinema. In the last two decades, Deleuze's two books on film have had an enormous influence on Film Studies, profoundly affecting thinking about movement, time, history, and other topics. Theoretically ambitious and philosophically rich but clearly written by a broad range of established and emerging international film scholars, the chapters in this volume will both contribute to, and in places challenge, the vibrant field of Deleuzian film studies. Topics covered range from the relationship of Deleuze to film criticism; the role of theories of movement; and studies of works by major filmmakers including Federico Fellini, Werner Herzog, Vincente Minnelli, and Orson Welles. This book will be of interest not only to specialists in Deleuze but to anybody engaged with the close study of film and its philosophical ramifications.</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。 14,585円

10th Mountain Division at Camp Hale【電子書籍】[ Flint Whitlock ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In 1942, at the beginning of World War II, the US Army built its most unusual military post for its most unusual division in a high, remote, Rocky Mountain valley 100 miles west of Denver, Colorado. Located at 9,250 feet above sea level, Camp Hale was the training home of the famed 13,459-man 10th Mountain Division, which trained in mountain warfare techniques for two years--and almost missed the war. After they were finally deployed for combat in early 1945 in the Northern Apennine Mountains of Italy, the young men of the 10th never lost a battle or gave up a foot of ground. And, after the war, many of the veterans returned home to create America's ski and winter sports industry. Building Camp Hale was an incredible feat of wartime engineering and construction. To transform the wild, alpine meadow into an Army camp, 10,000 civilian construction workers were hired to scrape away the vegetation; level the valley floor; install roads and water and sewer lines; build 1,000 structures and two ski areas; and relocate a highway and railroad line--all within seven months and at a cost of $31 million (over a half billion dollars in today's money). Yet Camp Hale was demolished two years after it was built.</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。 1,334円

Pearl Harbor; Tragedy to Triumph【電子書籍】[ Feld ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese empire on December 7, 1941, stunned Americans like nothing else had in the history of our nation. An angry nation asked why, how could this happen, and who was responsible for the destruction of our pacific fleet, and the deaths of over 3,000 American fighting men. There were no simple answers then, and to this day arguments abound as to whether Admiral Kimmel and General Short recieved all the intelligence necessary in order to stop the attack from happening. Why were they not given a MAGIC DECODING MACHINE so they could recieve the same intercepts Washington used every day to formulate their plans. Why wasn't Admiral Kimmel given information on the bomb plot message put together by the Japanese war department and their spy in Honolulu. Why were the war warnings that were sent by Washington to all Pacific commands so ambiguous, as to create more questions then answers in Hawaii as to what the true intent of the Japanese Empire really was.</p> <p>However even on the morning of Dec. 7, the warning from the U.S.S. Ward regarding their attack on a Japanese submarine near the entrance to the harbor, and the warning from the radar station on Opana Point went unheeded by senior officers.</p> <p>Japans determination to be considered a major power in the world was playing out in China and other eastern countries since the 1930's, America felt they could be controlled by embargoes and repositioning of the Pacific Fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor. As these decisions were made, no one will ever know exactly what was said behind the closed door conferences in Tokyo and Washington between the men in power. However after studying the major players on both sides of the dispute for decades, I have attempted to reconstruct the conversations that just might have taken place as the two nations moved closer to war. It allows the story to take on a more chilling aspect when these conversations are considered.</p> <p>The one major victory for the United States on December 7, was that none of our aircraft carriers were in the harbor during the attack. This allowed Admiral Nimitz to take the fight to the Japanese in the battle of the Coral Sea, and on to Midway where American pilots turned back the Japanese invasion force while destroying their carrier fleet that would never recover.</p> <p>Along with the historical aspect of the story, there is always the human aspect that at times gets overlooked. So along with the factual account of the attack, I have developed a family of characters that are swept up into the attack from both the American and Japanese cultures. Both families live through the tumultuous years of world depression of the 1930's, seeking a way foward, as world leaders begin to see conquest as the solution to their nations problems. They have no way of knowing every decision they make moves them closer to a war they never really understood. But when they were called upon to fight, they did not question their orders. They fought with courage and devotion to their nation, and were not afraid to sacrifice everything, including their own lives to bring peace and security to their loved ones and the United States.</p> <p>Pearl Harbor; Tragedy to Triumph offers the reader a look back into history while giving you true American heroes to cheer for that reflect the quality of men that served our nation at that time. The book will also give you a tremendous amount of factual data on many aspects of the battle many books do not give you.</p> <p>Pearl Harbor; Tragedy to Triumph will not disappoint the reader in any way. From beginning to end, it will keep you on the edge of your seat and come to realize the enormity of the Day that will Live in Infamy.</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。 850円

Leningrad: Siege and Symphony The Story of the Great City Terrorized by Stalin, Starved by Hitler, Immortalized by Shostakovich【電子書籍】[ Brian Moynahan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The “gripping story” of a Nazi blockade, a Russian composer, and a ragtag band of musicians who fought to keep up a besieged city’s morale (<em>The New York Times Book Review</em>).</strong></p> <p>For 872 days during World War II, the German Army encircled the city of Leningradーmodern-day St. Petersburgーin a military operation that would cripple the former capital and major Soviet industrial center. Palaces were looted and destroyed. Schools and hospitals were bombarded. Famine raged and millions died, soldiers and innocent civilians alike.</p> <p>Against the backdrop of this catastrophe, historian Brian Moynahan tells the story of Dmitri Shostakovich, whose Seventh Symphony was first performed during the siege and became a symbol of defiance in the face of fascist brutality. Titled “Leningrad” in honor of the city and its people, the work premiered on August 9, 1942ーwith musicians scrounged from frontline units and military bands, because only twenty of the orchestra’s hundred members had survived.</p> <p>With this compelling human story of art and culture surviving amid chaos and violence, <em>Leningrad: Siege and Symphony</em> “brings new depth and drama to a key historical moment” (<em>Booklist</em>, starred review), in “a narrative that is by turns painful, poignant and inspiring” (<em>Minneapolis Star-Tribune</em>).</p> <p>“He reaches into the guts of the city to extract some humanity from the blood and darkness, and at its best <em>Leningrad</em> captures the heartbreak, agony and small salvations in both death and survival . . . Moynahan’s descriptions of the battlefield, which also draw from the diaries of the cold, lice-ridden, hungry combatants, are haunting.” ー<em>The Washington Post</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。 1,936円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Imperial Japan’s ambitious offensive at the beginning of WWII is captured in dramatic detail in this pictorial history featuring rare wartime photographs.</strong></p> <p>The Japanese offensive in the Far East in 1941-1942 was extraordinary in its ambition, for their aim was to advance across the entire region. They clashed with an array of forces in a series of lightning campaigns that included famous episodes like the raid on Pearl Harbor and the conquest of Singapore. In this vivid photographic history, historian Philip Jowett covers the whole course of the offensive, portraying not only the Japanese military which achieved such incredible success but the armies they overwhelmed.</p> <p>In a sequence of over 200 wartime photographsーmany of which have never been published beforeーJowett covers the land, sea, and air fighting as the Japanese occupied so much of the region. Rare images of the Japanese forces as they prepared for war and then made seemingly unstoppable progress are matched with images of the armies they surprised and vanquished. <em>Japan Triumphant</em> captures the character of the war in the Far East, showing the appearance, equipment, and weaponry of the armies involved as well as the conditions in which they fought.</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

The Beauty of a Social Problem Photography, Autonomy, Economy【電子書籍】[ Walter Benn Michaels ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Bertolt Brecht once worried that our sympathy for the victims of a social problem can make the problem’s “beauty and attraction” invisible. In <em>The Beauty of a Social Problem</em>, Walter Benn Michaels explores the effort to overcome this difficulty through a study of several contemporary artist-photographers whose work speaks to questions of political economy.</p> <p>Although he discusses well-known figures like Walker Evans and Jeff Wall, Michaels’s focus is on a group of younger artists, including Viktoria Binschtok, Phil Chang, Liz Deschenes, and Arthur Ou. All born after 1965, they have always lived in a world where, on the one hand, artistic ambition has been synonymous with the critique of autonomous form and intentional meaning, while, on the other, the struggle between capital and labor has essentially been won by capital. Contending that the aesthetic and political conditions are connected, Michaels argues that these artists’ new commitment to form and meaning is a way for them to depict the conditions that have taken US economic inequality from its lowest level, in 1968, to its highest level today. As Michaels demonstrates, these works of art, unimaginable without the postmodern critique of autonomy and intentionality, end up departing and dissenting from that critique in continually interesting and innovative ways.</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。 2,464円

Speeding into the Future The Amphetamine-Fueled Generation【電子書籍】[ Catherine O'Sullivan Shorr ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A vivid oral history of how Andy Warhol and his superstars revolutionized the art world and the nature of celebrity in the mid-1960s.</strong></p> <p>Spanning from 1965 to 1966, two years that could be considered the pinnacle of Andy Warhol’s creative output, <em>Speeding into the Future</em> features firsthand accounts of life inside the Silver Factory. Powered by a steady supply of amphetamines, Quaaludes, and other drugs, the artists and misfits of the Factory crowd generated Warhol’s controversial films and art while their own star-quotients rose and declinedーand as they fell in and out of love with one another.</p> <p>During this period, Warhol created the notion of the “It Girl” by declaring debutante Edie Sedgwick the 1965 “Girl of the Year” and predicting her skyrocketing yet short-lived fame; he introduced German-born singer Nico to Lou Reed and John Cale of the Velvet Underground, hosting their rehearsals at the Factory; and codirected, with Paul Morrissey, his most commercially successful film, <em>Chelsea Girls</em>, featuring Nico, Brigid Berlin, Ondine, and other superstars. <em>Speeding into the Future</em> includes revelatory images snapped by Billy Name and other photographers as Bob Dylan visited the Factory, and goes behind the scenes of Warhol’s films of Ondine, Ultra Violet, Taylor Mead, and Viva. In this powerful chronicle based on her documentaryーnewly available from libraries via the Kanopy streaming serviceーCatherine O’Sullivan Shorr captures the events of these dizzying, outrageous years through the words of those who lived through 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。 1,584円

A Portrait in 4 Movements The Chicago Symphony under Barenboim, Boulez, Haitink, and Muti【電子書籍】[ Andrew Patner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>“Playing in an orchestra in an intelligent way is the best school for democracy.”ーDaniel Barenboim</p> <p>The Chicago Symphony Orchestra has been led by a storied group of conductors. And from 1994 to 2015, through the best work of Daniel Barenboim, Pierre Boulez, Bernard Haitink, and Riccardo Muti, Andrew Patner was right there. As a classical music critic for the <em>Chicago Sun-Times</em> and WFMT radio, Patner was able to trace the arc of the CSO’s changing repertories, all while cultivating a deep rapport with its four principal conductors.</p> <p>This book assembles Patner’s reviews of the concerts given by the CSO during this time, as well as transcripts of his remarkable radio interviews with these colossal figures. These pages hold tidbits for the curious, such as Patner’s “driving survey” that playfully ranks the Maestri he knew on a scale of “total comfort” to “fright level five,” and the observation that Muti appears to be a southpaw on the baseball field. Moving easily between registers, they also open revealing windows onto the sometimes difficult pasts that brought these conductors to music in the first place, including Boulez’s and Haitink’s heartbreaking experiences of Nazi occupation in their native countries as children. Throughout, these reviews and interviews are threaded together with insights about the power of music and the techniques behind itーfrom the conductors’ varied approaches to research, preparing scores, and interacting with other musicians, to how the sound and personality of the orchestra evolved over time, to the ways that we can all learn to listen better and hear more in the music we love. Featuring a foreword by fellow critic Alex Ross on the ethos and humor that informed Patner’s writing, as well as an introduction and extensive historical commentary by musicologist Douglas W. Shadle, this book offers a rich portrait of the musical life of Chicago through the eyes and ears of one of its most beloved critics.</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。 2,904円

Malayan Emergency Triumph of the Running Dogs, 1948?1960【電子書籍】[ Gerry van Tonder ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>When the world held its breath It is 25 years since the end of the Cold War, now a generation old. It began over 75 years ago, in 1944long before the last shots of the Second World War had echoed across the wastelands of Eastern Europewith the brutal Greek Civil War. The battle lines are no longer drawn, but they linger on, unwittingly or not, in conflict zones such as Iraq, Somalia and Ukraine. In an era of mass-produced AK-47s and ICBMs, one such flashpoint was Malaya By the time of the 1942 Japanese occupation of the Malay Peninsula and Singapore, the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) had already been fomenting merdeka independence from Britain. The Japanese conquerors, however, were also the loathsome enemies of the MCPs ideological brothers in China. An alliance of convenience with the British was the outcome. Britain armed and trained the MCPs military wing, the Malayan Peoples Anti-Japanese Army (MPAJA), to essentially wage jungle guerrilla warfare against Japanese occupying forces. With the cessation of hostilities, anti-Japanese became anti-British, and, using the same weapons and training fortuitously provided by the British army during the war, the MCP launched a guerrilla war of insurgency.Malaya was of significant strategic and economic importance to Britain. In the face of an emerging communist regime in China, a British presence in Southeast Asia was imperative. Equally, rubber and tin, largely produced in Malaya by British expatriates, were important inputs for British industry. Typically, the insurgents, dubbed Communist Terrorists, or simply CTs, went about attacking soft targets in remote areas: the rubber plantations and tin mines. In conjunction with this, was the implementation of Maos dictate of subverting the rural, largely peasant, population to the cause. Twelve years of counterinsurgency operations ensued, as a wide range of British forces were joined in the conflict by ground, air and sea units from Australia, New Zealand, Southern and Northern Rhodesia, Fiji and Nyasaland.</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。 1,584円
