<p><strong>La biographie ?v?nement qui a inspir? le film <em>Oppenheimer</em> de Christopher Nolan</strong><br /> Le g?nie est parfois une mal?diction. Robert Oppenheimer fut l'un des plus grands physiciens de son temps. Peu d'hommes pouvaient rivaliser avec son intelligence exceptionnelle et sa fantastique intuition scientifique.

Unbeaten Tracks in Japan【電子書籍】[ Isabella L. Bird ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"Unbeaten Tracks in Japan" is compiled of the letters she sent to her sister during her 7 months sojourn in Japan in 1878. Her travels there took her from Edo (now called Tokyo) through the interior - where she was often the first foreigner the locals had met - to Niigata, and from there to Aomori. There she crossed over to Yezo (Hokkaido), and her account on the life of the Ainu, an indigenous people of Japan, provides an interesting glimpse of days long past.</p> <p>This classic travel book details Isabella Bird's 1878 trip, where she set out alone to explore the interior of Japan - a rarity not only because of Bird's sex but because the country was virtually unknown to Westerners. The Japan she describes is not the sentimental world of <em>Madame Butterfly</em> but a vibrant land of real people with a complex culture and hardscrabble lives.</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。 146円

A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains【電子書籍】[ Isabella Bird ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains is a travel book, by Isabella Bird, describing her 1873 trip to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The book is a compilation of letters that Isabella Bird wrote to her sister, Henrietta. In 1872, Isabella left Britain, going first to Australia, then to Hawaii, which she refers to as the Sandwich Islands. In 1873 she travelled to Colorado, then the Colorado Territory. After living a time in Hawaii, she takes a boat, to San Francisco. She passed the area of Lake Tahoe, to Cheyenne, Wyoming, to ultimate Estes Park, Colorado, also elsewhere in and near the Rocky Mountains of the Colorado Territory. Early in Colorado, she met Rocky Mountain Jim, described as a desperado, but with whom she got along quite well. She described him as, "He is a man whom any woman might love but no sane woman would marry." She was the first white woman to stand atop Longs Peak, Colorado, pointing out that Jim "dragged me up, like a bale of goods, by sheer force of muscle." Rocky Mountain Jim treated her quite well, and it is sad to note, he was shot to death, seven months later. After many other adventures, Isabella Bird ultimately took a train, east. Upon publication, A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains proved an "instant bestseller" and is still considered to be her best work.</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。 300円

Cat and Bird A Memoir【電子書籍】[ Kyoko Mori ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A "sweet, touching" memoir about animals, loss, and finding a home in the world by the author of <em>Shizuko's Daughter</em> and <em>Yarn</em> ( <em>Kirkus Reviews</em>).</strong></p> <p><em>Cat and Bird</em>, a "memoir in animals," is anchored around Kyoko Mori's relationship with the six house cats who defined the major eras of her life as a writer: Dorian, Oscar, Ernest, Algernon, Miles, and Jackson. As she details the rhythms and routines of their days together, she weaves a narrative tapestry out of her past: the deep family tragedy and resilience that marked her childhood in Japan, her move to the American Midwest as a young adult, her experiences as a bird rehabilitator and cat trainer, her marriage and divorce, and the joys and profound heartbreaks that come with pet ownership. Full of razor-sharp observations and generous prose, <em>Cat and Bird</em> whirls into a moving meditation about grief, writing, the imagination, the solitary life, and the wonders of companionship with creatures both domestic and wild.</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。 1,440円

The Bird【電子書籍】[ Jules Michelet ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Bird," Jules Michelet embarks on a lyrical exploration of avian life that transcends mere natural observation, immersing readers in the interconnectedness of nature and humanity. Written in the mid-19th century, the book reflects the Romantic literary style, characterized by vivid imagery and an emotional connection to the subject matter. Michelet employs an almost poetic prose, weaving together scientific observations with philosophical musings, ultimately revealing his reverence for birds as symbols of freedom and inspiration amidst the industrial age's encroachments on nature. The work stands as a testament to the burgeoning interest in biology and environment during the Enlightenment period, positioning birds as integral elements of the ecosystem worthy of admiration and protection. Jules Michelet (1798-1874), a prominent French historian and naturalist, is often noted for his passionate engagement with the natural world and its historical context. His background in history, combined with his fascination for nature, led him to reconcile the scientific and the spiritual in his writing. This duality is evident in "The Bird," where his admiration for the natural world is steeped in a historical narrative that reveals both human and avian evolution, reflecting the interconnectedness of all living things. For readers seeking a unique blend of nature writing and historical insight, "The Bird" offers a captivating journey into the world of birds, encouraging a deeper appreciation of their role in our lives and the environment. Michelet's evocative prose invites both ornithologists and casual readers alike to reflect on the beauty of nature and the urgency of its preservation. This work is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of literature, nature, and 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。 300円

The Bird of Time【電子書籍】[ Sarojini Naidu ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Bird of Time," Sarojini Naidu masterfully weaves a tapestry of lyrical verse that captures the essence of Indian culture and the universal human experience. This evocative collection, largely composed during the early 20th century, showcases Naidu's unique ability to blend Indian themes with Western literary forms, further enriched by her adept use of natural imagery and musical rhythm. The poems reflect a deep appreciation for nature and love, while also addressing social issues, a characteristic of Naidu's broader literary context, which sought to illuminate the struggles and aspirations of her time. Sarojini Naidu, often hailed as the "Nightingale of India," was a prominent freedom fighter, poet, and first female governor in independent India. Born in 1879 to a progressive family, her multifaceted background in art and politics undeniably influenced her writing. Naidu's experiences abroad and her position within the Indian independence movement provided her with a keen insight into the interplay of cultural identity and political consciousness, both of which resonate throughout her poetry. Readers seeking a rich, sensory exploration of love, nature, and national identity will find "The Bird of Time" an essential addition to their literary journey.
