Gary Geist, a terrified young man set to inherit two farms, is desperate to marry Kismet Poe, an impulsive, lapsed goth who can’t read her own future but will settle for fulfilling his. Her best friend, Hugo, a gentle, red-haired, homeschooled giant, also loves Kismet and is determined to steal her away and build a life together. Kismet’s mother, Crystal, drives a truck for Gary’s family, and on her nightly runs, tunes in to the darkness of late-night radio, experiences visions of guardian angels, and worries about what’s to come, for her daughter and herself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Mighty Red＜/em＞ is Louise Erdrich at her consummate best. A novel of tender humor, disquietude, yearning, community, and family, it is about ordinary people who dream, grow up, fall in love, struggle, endure tragedy, carry bitter secrets; men and women both complicated and contradictory, flawed and decent, lonely and hopeful. Human time, deep time, Red River time, and geological time are explored alongside the impact of crises in our own timeーclimate change, the depletion of natural resources, the economic meltdown of 2008. It is a story about our tattered bond with the earth, and about love in all of its absurdity and splendor.＜/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。 | 3,100円 |

Gareth’s sole bequest is an old family diary, which may hold the key to his future. The problem is it’s written in Italian. Hyacinth Bridgerton has offered to translate. She’s fiendishly smart, devilishly outspoken, and according to Gareth, best in small doses. But there’s something equally charming and vexing about her that draws him in. As they delve into the mysterious text, these two might discover that the answers they seek lie in each other . . . and that there is nothing as simpleーor as complicatedーas a single, perfect kiss.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞On the Way to the Wedding＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Gregory Bridgerton believes he has found his dream woman. Unfortunately, the ravishing Miss Hermione Watson is in love with another.

In the process, Lucy falls in loveーwith Gregory! But she is already engaged, and her uncle is not inclined to let her out of the betrothal. Now, on the way to the wedding, Gregory must risk everything to ensure that when it comes time to kiss the bride, ＜em＞he＜/em＞ is the only man standing at the altar…＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Because of Miss Bridgerton＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers.

George may be the heir to the earldom, but he’s arrogant, annoying, and she’s certain he detests her. She can’t stand the sight of him either. But when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, sparks begin to fly. They just might discover that the one person they can’t abide is the one person they can’t live without...＜/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。 | 3,094円 |

 The Napoleon of Notting Hill【電子書籍】[ G. K. Chesterton ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞“＜strong＞The Napoleon of Notting Hill＜/strong＞ is a novel written by G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) in 1904, set in a nearly unchanged London in 1984. Although the novel is set in the future, it is, in effect, set in an alternative reality of Chesterton's own period, with no advances in technology or changes in the class system or attitudes. It postulates an impersonal government, not described in any detail, but apparently content to operate through a figurehead king, randomly chosen. The dreary succession of randomly selected Kings of England is broken up when Auberon Quin, who cares for nothing but a good joke, is chosen. To amuse himself, he institutes elaborate costumes for the provosts of the districts of London. All are bored by the King's antics except for one earnest young man who takes the cry for regional pride seriously ? Adam Wayne, the eponymous Napoleon of Notting Hill.” (Citation from Wikipedia: The free Encyclopaedia)＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mermaids Classics, an imprint of Mermaids Publishing brings the very best of old classic literature to a modern era of digital reading by producing high quality books in ebook format.

 The Compassionate Heart of America【電子書籍】[ David Arthur Walters ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Kansas City, Missouri, was the city my father loved. I ventured there from Hawaii in 2003 to attend to him, and, like father like son, I have never loved a city more. The Heart of America is a tragic yet unbroken heart, always in need of revitalization. I took up residence in the nearly dead downtown as the Kempers and other civic leaders led by Mayor K Barnes endeavored to revive it yet again. I fancied I was a journalist like Theodore Dreiser, a hero of mine. Alas, the Kansas City Star would have nothing to do with me and nary a business would take me on despite my long experience and excellent references, for I was, as it were, an outsider. When I finished my business, I went on to Miami, an immigration capital, where I was soon employed. Yet I had my regrets because the real heart of America is the people there, and I found them wonderful, especially a little girl, named Sophie after wisdom, who, for me, represented the future of the Heart of America. I have a passion for writing so while in Kansas City I started my own publication, the Downtown Kansas City Journal, as a free blog because I didn't have the budget for a website. The articles here are a collection of some of my entries.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Does the Heart of America still have a heart? Kansas City, Missouri, is no longer the meat-packing heart of America. It became well known to residents as a "one cow town" because of a sculpture of a cow on top of a pole overlooking West Bottoms, the old stockyard flats where the Missouri River and the Kansas River meet. What the reader will find in this little collection is a freelancing gypsy's impression of the further evolution of a great city during his visitation of its deadened downtown under its latest revitalization plan 20 years ago. There are notable personages mentioned therein, such as Jonathan Kemper, the most prominent living member of the Kemper banking dynasty, Wayne Cauthen and his kidnapped, suicidal daughter, and, of course, Tom Pendergast, the convicted kingpin who put foul-mouthed but honest President Truman in the White House. Always present is the Kansas City Star, whose political twinkling was rewarded with a $200-million-dollar printing plant. So, does the Heart of America still have a heart? You damn right it does!＜/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。 | 1,000円 |
