The otherworldly Laura is shocked and humiliated by her educational experiences. She suffers as a result of telling her mother and classmates details about her family's background.This is a tale about innocence being ruined. None of the female students at the institution, nor the professors in general, come off as anything but arrogant and rude. Even Laura, who is so youthful, powerful, and idealistic at the beginning, gives in to the role that is expected of her.In Laura's story, a 15-year-old girl cheats on an exam but is spared punishment since God wasn't involved; otherwise, he would have held her accountable. The last time Laura leaves school, she is overcome with the urge to flee, and the last thing we see of her is a fast-diminishing form disappearing into a park.＜/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。 | 132円 |
 Australia Felix【電子書籍】[ Henry Handel Richardson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞Australia Felix＜/em＞ (1917) is a novel by Henry Handel Richardson. Based on the life of her parents, ＜em＞Australia Felix＜/em＞ is the first in a trilogy of novels later published as ＜em＞The Fortunes of Richard Mahony＜/em＞ (1930). The trilogy has earned praise from countless authors and critics for its startling depictions of a man’s decline due to mental illness and the lengths to which his wife must go to care for their young family. “In a shaft on the Gravel Pits, a man had been buried alive. At work in a deep wet hole, he had recklessly omitted to slab the walls of a drive; uprights and tailors yielded under the lateral pressure, and the rotten earth collapsed, bringing down the roof in its train.” Into this dangerous world of mining, Richard Mahony arrives in search of fortune. As the proprietor of Digger’s Emporium, his business depends on the trust of his customers, most of them rugged, hard-drinking gold miners. But the men find it hard to respect Mahony, a teetotaler whose upper-class sensibilities strike them as snobbish at best, insulting at worst. As his store slowly fails, Richard turns his attention to the young Polly Turnham, a servant at the local hotel. When they marry, Polly suggests to her husband that he abandon his business and turn to medicine instead. His practice in Ballarat is a success, allowing them to start a family and live comfortablyーfor a time.

 The Getting of Wisdom【電子書籍】[ Henry Handel Richardson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The Getting of Wisdom＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Getting of Wisdom is a novel by Australian novelist Henry Handel Richardson. It was first published in 1910, and has almost always been in print ever since.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Henry Handel Richardson was the pseudonym of Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson, a writer who was born in 1870 to a reasonably well-off family which later fell on hard times. The author's family lived in various Victorian towns and from the age of 13 to 17 Richardson attended boarding school at the Presbyterian Ladies' College in Melbourne, Victoria. It's this experience that feeds directly into The Getting of Wisdom.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Laura Tweedle Rambotham, the main character, is the eldest child of a country family. She is a clever and highly imaginative child, given to inventing romantic stories for the entertainment of her younger siblings, and an avid reader. She is also both proud and sensitive and her mother finds her difficult to handle. Her mother is the widow of a barrister who supports her family in genteel poverty on her earnings from embroidery. At the age of twelve Laura is sent off to boarding school in Melbourne. Her experiences at school shock and humiliate the unworldly Laura. The girls at the school are generally from rather wealthy families and those, like Laura, who come from less fortunate backgrounds learn very early not to divulge their circumstances for fear of ridicule. From time to time Laura lets little snippets of information about her family slip out, and she suffers for it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In fact, these seem to be the main forces controlling the action of this book: fear of the judgements of one's peers, the desire to "fit in", embarrassment about one's familyーit is shameful to have a mother who works for a livingーand the desire to "better" oneself by belittling others. None of the girls in the school, nor the teachers for that matter, come across as anything but self-serving and boorish. Even Laura, who starts out so young and strong and idealistic, surrenders to the role expected of her. Essentially, this is a story about the destruction of innocence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Laura undergoes a form of redemption at the end of the book, convincing herself that cheating in an exam is actually God's will, and then later deciding that while she was wrong to do so, she got away with it and therefore God had no actual hand in the matter or else he would have punished her for the sin. A neat case of self-delusion. At the end, when Laura is walking away from the school for the last time, she is overcome with a desire to run, and the last we see of her is a rapidly diminishing form disappearing through a park. She is free at last: free of the overwhelming constrictions of the school, the teachers' expectations and the other schoolgirls' callous disregard.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From Wikipedia＜/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。 | 363円 |

After her father's death in 1879, her mother worked as a postmistress in country towns, but later she was able to take Ethel and her sister Lilian to Europe, to study music at Leipzig.

By this time Ethel had begun to write, having given up all thought of a musical career. Her first novel, ＜em＞Maurice Guest＜/em＞, was published in 1908 and had a number of imitators. Her second, ＜em＞The Getting of Wisdom＜/em＞, published in 1910 was described by H. G. Wells as the best school story he knew.
