The Strange Courtship of Abigail Bird【電子書籍】[ John Blumenthal ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Beset by awkward interpersonal skills, an obsession with classic literature and the somewhat archaic speaking style of a Jane Austen character, Ishmael Archer seems destined for the lonely life of a literature professor at the academic backwater of Longfellow College. While he yearns for female companionship, he has been left in emotional and financial disarray after his recent divorce. Struggling to pay his rent and trading in his car for a rickety bicycle, Ishmael Archer is obliged to undertake his most dreaded task: teach a summer creative writing class. Convinced that he will be saddled with a group of student malcontents who care not a whit for Tolstoy or Dickens, Ishmael is delighted to encounter the luminescent Abigail Bird, whose passion for literature equals his own. Their burgeoning romance is cut abruptly short when Abigail suffers a traumatic head wound and falls into a coma. Distraught, Ishmael reads the unconscious Abigail passages from her most cherished novels. When she finally awakes, however, Abigail is inexplicably changed and Ishmael must find a way to connect with the Abigail Bird with whom he had fallen in love.＜br /＞ Peppered with an enthralling cast of charactersーa college dean obsessed with orchids, a Greek landlord who possesses a tendency to break into dance, and a self-important writer who vies with Archer for Abigail's affectionsー ＜em＞The Strange Courtship of Abigail Bird＜/em＞ is a heart-warming tale of love, loss, and rediscovery.＜/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。	1,474円

In the last few years I`ve had a number of family members and friends either fallen sick or passed away. I took for granted thinking we`d always talk tomorrow. Well, I came to realize the `planner` had plans of his own. To keep things short, if any of you have a problem with someone, be the bigger person, make amends and iron out your differences. Because if you wait for tomorrow, that just might be the day you`re going to be judged. Not for how much money you made, how many businesses you`ve owned, or how successful you became, but by how many of your enemies you forgave!＜/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。	468円

Beyond the Old Frontier - Adventures of Indian-Fighters, Hunters, and Fur-Traders【電子書籍】[ George Bird Grinnell ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞To-day the vast territory lying between the Mississippi River and the Pacific Ocean is occupied by many millions of people. Fifty years ago, except on the Pacific slope, it had few white inhabitants. Then it was the Far West, beyond the frontier, the Indian countryーthe unknown. A journey into it was believed to be full of peril. In the minds of the general public it was as far away as Central China is to-day. Beyond the great river which bounded it on the east was a fringe of settlements. Scattered through the more distant country were the trading-posts to which the trapper brought his furs. Forts Garry, Benton, Union, Laramie, Bridger, and Bent were some of these. There were a few army posts, and as time went on others were established. Gold had been discovered in California, and a wild rush of people anxious to better their condition had started across the plains, bound for the distant Eldorado. It was a curiously mixed population that set out on this long journey. Farmers from New England, business men and clerks from the Middle States, planters and younger sons from the South; on foot and on horseback, carrying their possessions, large or scanty, in vehicles drawn by horses, mules, oxen, and cows, they struggled westward. They endured enormous toils; perpetually in fear of attacks by Indians, meetingvi the dangers, delays, and perplexities of wild men, strange surroundings, rough travelling, swollen streams, and exhausted live-stock. For many years the roads over which they had passed were marked by the skeletons of animals, by broken-down wagons, by furniture and household goods, thrown away to lighten the loads dragged by their feeble teams. Along these deep-worn roads were the graves of those who had perished on the way; sometimes mere mounds of earth, hardly showing on the level prairie, or perhaps marked by a bit of board thrust in the ground, bearing a pencilled name and date, which the winter's storms would soon obliterate.＜/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。	200円

He takes no blame or credit for the story. Some letters are merely his observations on a specific condition of life or after life.＜/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。	1,159円

Paul Laurence Dunbar The Life and Times of a Caged Bird【電子書籍】[ Gene Andrew Jarrett ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞The definitive biography of a pivotal figure in American literary history＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞A major poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872?1906) was one of the first African American writers to garner international recognition in the wake of emancipation. In this definitive biography, the first full-scale life of Dunbar in half a century, Gene Andrew Jarrett offers a revelatory account of a writer whose Gilded Age celebrity as the “poet laureate of his race” hid the private struggles of a man who, in the words of his famous poem, felt like a “caged bird” that sings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jarrett tells the fascinating story of how Dunbar, born during Reconstruction to formerly enslaved parents, excelled against all odds to become an accomplished and versatile artist. A prolific and successful poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and Broadway librettist, he was also a friend of such luminaries as Frederick Douglass and Orville and Wilbur Wright. But while audiences across the United States and Europe flocked to enjoy his literary readings, Dunbar privately bemoaned shouldering the burden of race and catering to minstrel stereotypes to earn fame and money. Inspired by his parents’ survival of slavery, but also agitated by a turbulent public marriage, beholden to influential benefactors, and helpless against his widely reported bouts of tuberculosis and alcoholism, he came to regard his racial notoriety as a curse as well as a blessing before dying at the age of only thirty-three.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Beautifully written, meticulously researched, and generously illustrated, this biography presents the richest, most detailed, and most nuanced portrait yet of Dunbar and his work, transforming how we understand the astonishing life and times of a central figure in American literary 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。	3,310円

Somewhere Beyond the Body Where Life Is Lived in Translucent Language【電子書籍】[ T. P. Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞God designed us to experience human life in a material physical body, using our five senses. He called it good. However, we are also creatures who experience the non-material, non-physical gifts of soul and spirit. Beyond the brain lies the human mind with its ability to think, even abstractly; we can reason and are moral beings. We experience a myriad of emotions while living within relationships with God, ourselves, others, and the world we live in. The Lord also calls this aspect of humanity good. Somewhere Beyond the Body attempts to not only explore the non-material nature of soul and spirit, but challenges at times the current secular notion that humans are just physical beings with higher brain power than other creatures. We even see how the art and craft of poetry reflects this side of our nature.＜/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。	1,592円

When you enter it on some blustering day after a tramp along the coast, as the swing door cuts off the last wild clutch of the wind at your tingling ears, and you pass over thick-piled carpets to the generous fire burning in the lounge, a sort of heavenly calm seems to lap you round; in the security of which, sunk deep in capacious armchairs, you will have no thought but for tea and muffins.＜/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。	150円

Soon the girls are in college, where they abandon themselves to the disciplines and demands of the university's flamenco academy and to the hypnotic storytelling of their teacher, Do?a Carlota, Tom?s's great-aunt. While never losing the insistent beat of the dance, Do?a Carlota mesmerizes her students with the complexly embroidered story of her childhood growing up among the cave-dwelling Gypsies of Andalusia.

In The Flamenco Academy, Sarah Bird delivers a novel with a sense of history and character that matches the drama of the dance it so brilliantly celebrates. Alfred A. Knopf Publisher＜/p＞ ＜p＞"The Flamenco Academy opens so boldly . . . that you have to wonder how [Sarah] Bird can sustain such high drama. But it quickly becomes apparent that she's mapped her novel's treacherous terrain and planned accordingly, building characters sturdy enough to stand firmly, even when their emotions are spinning out of control."＜br /＞ ?The New York Times Book Review＜/p＞ ＜p＞"A deft exploration of love, desire and jealousy told against the backdrop of that most complex of dances, flamenco."＜br /＞ ?Baltimore Sun＜/p＞ ＜p＞A Note from Sarah Bird on how "The Flamenco Academy" came to be:＜br /＞ The one subject I always knew I wanted to write about was an obsessive love affair I had that began when I was 16 and fell in love at first sight with a deliriously handsome young man and remained so for the next seven years of our on-again, off-again romance. For years I tried to capture this experience on paper, but it always came out as a suburban melodrama until I put it in the world of flamenco.＜br /＞ Here's the story of how I first discovered el arte:＜br /＞ When I was 20 and living with the object of my obsession, I walked in on him in bed with a friend. Realizing that I had to put at least an ocean between us or I would never break free, I went to Europe. So, dazed and heartbroken, I hitchhiked and Eurailed for a year and a half. During that time I found a job as a tour guide in a botanical garden owned by White Russian ?migr?s on Spain's Costa Brava. One very late night, very early morning, in a tiny club outside of Barcelona, I saw an astonishing performance of what I would learn later was flamenco.＜br /＞ To kick off my research, I wrote an article for Oprah's magazine that appeared in the November 2002 about being a fumble-footed, middle-aged matron trying to get my groove on at The University of New Mexico's world-famous Flamenco Festival. Like my heroine, Rae, I fell in love with flamenco and learned that flamenco demands the same sort of transformation that any obsessive love affair 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。	600円

The Sweetest Bird of My Youth And Other Stories by Peter Ortutay【電子書籍】[ Ortutay Peter ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Many of us here in Hungary still no doubt remember Tennessee Williams’ staggering play The Sweet Bird of Youth very well. We can do it for at least two reasons. The first one is that it was once, or even more often, staged by theaters in Budapest, and it always was a sold-out; and secondly, the translator was a no lesser figure than the well-known Istv?n ?rk?ny, whose brilliant rendering of the text into Hungarian, especially of the climactic parts, was, perhaps, better than the original. But what’s the play about? In a nutshell, it’s a drama, a tragedy, and it is about life itself, and says that life can be hard and bitter, but still, it’s always sweet and beautiful while you are young and feeling young, and that’s why you want it to last for good, because you want to capture, to get hold of the hours, the minutes, the moments of those days, if it were possible. But time, be it sweet or bitter, flies away quickly, and as you become older, you are less and less able to get rid of the feeling that you must have spoilt something there in that remote past.＜/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。	223円

The Bird Singers How Two Boys Discovered the Magic of Birdsong【電子書籍】[ Jean Boucault ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞**“A mesmerizing tale like no other.”ーPriyanka Kumar, author of ＜em＞Conversations with Birds＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“A beautiful book. The writing about birdsーtheir songs and sounds, what birds mean to us, the wonder and joy they evoke in usーis among the most original, insightful, and enjoyable I’ve read.”ーJames Macdonald Lockhart, author of ＜em＞Wild Air: In Search of Birdsong＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞This captivating memoir takes readers into the eccentric world of competitive bird-callingーfollowing the coming-of-age story of two boys who found their voice in the natural world.**＜/p＞ ＜p＞This captivating book brings together two birds of a feather: Jean and Johnny, boys from very different worlds growing up in a small village in France. Jean is the genteel pharmacist’s son, dressed in his Sunday best; Johnny’s father is a rough, working-class sheep herder, always with the odor of animals clinging to him. Each year, over three hundred bird species visit their village, which intersects a major migratory flyway.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The two boys’ stories converge when Jean enters a bird-calling contest. He places second, and at only eleven years old becomes a child celebrity on the bird-calling circuit. Then Johnny starts to compete as well. At the annual bird festival, both boys are standouts, and a long, admiring rivalry develops between them, eventually culminating in the European championships.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As they evolve as performers, the two boys’ identities become more distinct: Jean is soft-spoken, while Johnny likes to play to the crowd. While most of their competitors are adult men, hunters who learned to call birds for sport, the two boys are fascinated with the pure beauty of birdsong, and in trying to transcend themselves through imitating birds. Their shared passion develops into an enduring partnership as performers, and they go on to tour the world in concert as the Bird Singers.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is a story as much about friendship as it is about birdsong. The setting is timeless and bucolic, with long walks to small village schools, games of pick-up soccer, and father-son birding trips. The chapters, which bounce back and forth between the two narrators, are woven through with descriptions of colorful characters in the bird-calling competition circuit and the kind of ornithological detail that can only come from a true passion for birds. There is poetry in the description of the different birds, from common seagulls to thrushes and bluethroats and nightingales, and something like communion in the way Jean and Johnny understand the feathered friends they imitate.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Unique, evocative, and cinematic, ＜em＞The Bird Singers＜/em＞ is the story of an unlikely friendship, sparked by a desire to speak with the avian 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。	3,840円
