Islamic Folklore Maryam Bin Imran Mother of Prophet Isa AS and The Bird Created from Clay Lite Version【電子書籍】[ Jannah An-Nur Foundation ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Islamic Folklore Maryam Bin Imran (Mary) Mother of Prophet Isa AS (Jesus) And The Bird Created from Clay Bilingual Edition In English & Germany Languange Lite Version.</p> <p>In the beginning I was clay then I became a bird by Allah's leave. From motionless clay to a soaring bird. I was something that was not able to move by itself and then I could fly in the sky. That is me. I do not know how to introduce myself to history.</p> <p>Allah SWT (Exalted and Glorified be He) introduced me in the last of His Books saying, "(Remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection), 'O 'Isa (Jesus), son of Mary am (Mary)! Remember My Favor to you and to your mother when I supported you with Ruh-ul-Qudus [Jibril (Gabriel)) so that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and when I taught you writing, Al-Hikmah (the power of understanding), the Tawrat (Torah) and the Injil (Gospel); and when you made out of the clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My Permission, and you breathed into it, and it became a bird by My Permission.'"</p> <p>That is me. A handful of clay…I was the princess of clay, even though I was made of clay. Then I fell in love. That was before Prophet Isa AS (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary) touched me. When I fell in love I began to transform.</p> <p>Am Anfang war ich Lehm, dann wurde ich durch Allahs Erlaubnis ein Vogel. Vom bewegungslosen Lehm zum hochfliegenden Vogel. Ich war etwas, das sich nicht von selbst bewegen konnte und dann konnte ich in den Himmel fliegen. Das bin ich. Ich wei? nicht, wie ich mich der Geschichte vorstellen soll.</p> <p>Allah SWT (Erhaben und verherrlicht sei Er) stellte mich im letzten seiner B?cher vor und sagte: "(Erinnere dich), wenn Allah (am Tag der Auferstehung) sagen wird: O Isa (Jesus), Sohn Marias bin (Maria) ! Erinnere dich an meine Gunst f?r dich und deine Mutter, als ich dich mit Ruh-ul-Qudus (Jibril (Gabriel)) unterst?tzte, damit du mit den Menschen in der Wiege und in der Reife sprichst. und als ich dich das Schreiben lehrte, Al-Hikmah (die Kraft des Verstehens), der Tawrat (Tora) und der Injil (Evangelium); und als du aus dem Ton sozusagen die Gestalt eines Vogels durch meine Erlaubnis gemacht hast und du hineingeatmet hast, wurde es durch meine Erlaubnis ein Vogel. "</p> <p>Das bin ich. Eine Handvoll Ton… Ich war die Prinzessin aus Ton, obwohl ich aus Ton war. Dann habe ich mich verliebt. Das war, bevor der Prophet Isa AS (Jesus), der Sohn von Maryam (Mary), mich ber?hrte. Als ich mich verliebte, begann ich mich zu verwandeln.</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。

The Bird-While【電子書籍】[ Keith Taylor ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Short poems that look closely at small moments in a personal history, in art, and in the natural world.</strong></p> <p>"A Bird-while. In a natural chronometer, a Bird-while may be admitted as one of the metres, since the space most of the wild birds will allow you to make your observations on them when they alight near you in the woods, is a pretty equal and familiar measure" (Ralph Waldo Emerson's Journal, 1838). Without becoming didactic or pedantic about the spiritual metaphor hidden in the concept of the "bird-while," Keith Taylor's collection evokes certain Eastern meditative poets who often wrote in an aphoristic style of the spirit or the mind mirroring specific aspects of the natural world.</p> <p><em>The Bird-while</em> is a collection of forty-nine poems that meditate on the natureーboth human and non-humanーthat surrounds us daily. Taylor is in the company of naturalist poets such as Gary Snyder and Mary Oliverーpoets who often drew from an Emersonian sensibility to create art that awakens the mind to its corresponding truths in the natural world. The book ranges from the longer poem to the eight line, unrhymed stanza similar to that of the T'ang poet Han-Shan. And without section breaks to reinforce the passing of time, the collection creates greater fluidity of movement from one poem to the next, as if there is no beginning or end, only an eternal moment that is suspended on the page. Tom Pohrt's original illustrations are scattered throughout the text, adding a stunning visual element to the already vivid language. The book moves from the author's travel accounts to the destruction of the natural world, even species extinction, to more hopeful poems of survival and the return of wildness. The natural rhythm is at times marred by the disturbances of the twenty-first century that come blaring into these meditations, as when a National Guard jet rumbles over the treeline upsetting a hummingbird, and yet, even the hummingbird is able to regain its balance and continue as before. At its core, Taylor's collection is a reminder of Emerson's idea that natural facts are symbols of spiritual facts.</p> <p>These well-crafted poems will be easily accessible to any literary audience, with a more particular attraction to readers of contemporary poetry sensitive to the marriage of an Eastern sensibility with contemporary American settings and scenes.</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。

Song of the Vagabond Bird【電子書籍】[ Terry Kay ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
When he arrives on Neal's Island to begin ten days of intensive group therapy to treat his obsession for a woman he cannot forget, he brings with him the pseudonym of Bloodworth. What he discovers is an island of ghosts, an island of intense, but fragile, relationships founded on deceit, and, yet, an island strangely harboring the yearned-for promise of healing. The same his four fellow members in the seminar, each with his own pseudonym and each suffering his own agony because of a relationship with a woman. Vastly different as individuals, yet suffering the same crippling malady of obsession, the five are not prepared for the antics of Dr. Carson X. Willingham. He is maverick and madman, a brilliant investigator of his subjects who is also a man with his own demons. It is in this environment that Bloodworth finds himself faced with the delicate question of honesty as he tries to free the memory of his Kalee, and begin his new journey into the uncertainty of what might be.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。

<p>The world is a lonely place when you don't have any friends, so you will understand why twelve-year-old Tia's face has frozen in a permanent scowl since her best friend, Nina, emigrated to Australia.</p> <p>Forced to go on a school camping trip, she is stuck in the rain in a tent with three girls she is determined to hate: Thandolwethu the greedy drama queen; Kayla, the juvenile delinquent; and Gugu, the mouse.</p> <p>A burst of temper alienates her from the boys in her soccer team, especially Ahmed, her childhood playmate; leaving her completely friendless.</p> <p>But Nature softens the toughest seeds, and the ancient Magaliesberg that has borne the tragedies and heroism of South Africa's past has secret powers at work on Tia and the others.</p> <p>Amidst the beautiful mountains, wrenched from WhatsApp and TikTok, the children find their senses re-awakened by the icy pools that make their skin tingle; by the startling, bright birds that flit amongst them; and by the delicious taste of salty butter melting in potatoes hot from the fire.</p> <p>Inspired by the 'Go-away bird', they rediscover their imaginations and talents and return to the age-old tradition of trickery and revenge. The results are thrilling, hilarious, and infuriating. Tia grows boobs overnight; Tristan strips down to luminous green underwear; and their teacher, Miss Nightingale, unknowingly sits on top of one of the girls in the middle of the night.</p> <p>It is when the four girls are punished for something they did not do, that Tia cracks open and finally begins to face her loss and loneliness.</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。

The Last Dodo Bird【電子書籍】[ EDWARD F. SARONEY III ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>The life and times of Sean Rousseau, all- told a nice, but average guy, possessing a few quirky personality traits. Principally among them, a deep objective affinity for practicable analytical thinking and problem solving on all matters from the world of business to his spiritual beliefs, all formulated growing up in the bland 1950s and turbulent 1960s. Through an ill - fated marriage and the passing, one-by-one, of all of his family members, especially the tragic and untimely loss of his beloved little sister, Sean, whose sole enjoyment is collecting baseball cards, leads an everyday stoic and solitary life that is pretty much okay, but life is slowly passing him by. Unbeknownst to him, he is being shadowed ominously by an evil greater than he can fully comprehend or even imagine; an evil that lies in wait for his lapses into an unbearable sense of nothingness, for the opportunity to rear up and consume him, mind, body, and soul. But the Blessed Virgin Mary watches over him, through the intercession of a mother's love for her son, and later through a blind date with a woman who becomes the love of his life until her sudden death, followed by a chance meeting with a second woman months later in the remote and mysterious lakeshore Hamlet of Misty Waters, each occurring when he is at the greatest peril of descending despairingly, finally and forever, into the void of nothingness.</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。

<p>"Vanishing Wings: The Rise and Fall of the Passenger Pigeon" is a captivating exploration of one of the most poignant stories in natural historyーthe tragic demise of the passenger pigeon. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, the book traces the journey of this once-abundant species from its majestic heights of abundance to its lonely descent into oblivion.</p> <p>The narrative begins with a mesmerizing portrayal of the passenger pigeon's remarkable rise to prominence, painting a vivid picture of the awe-inspiring flocks that once darkened the skies of North America. Readers are transported back in time to witness the breathtaking spectacle of millions of pigeons in flight, their synchronized movements and thunderous roars capturing the imagination of all who beheld them.</p> <p>As the story unfolds, the book explores the ecological, cultural, and economic factors that fueled the passenger pigeon's extraordinary abundance and shaped its destiny. From its vital role as a keystone species in forest ecosystems to its profound significance in indigenous cultures, the passenger pigeon emerges as a symbol of resilience, adaptation, and interconnectedness with the natural world.</p> <p>However, amidst the splendor of its prime, dark clouds gather on the horizon, foreshadowing the species' tragic downfall. The narrative turns somber as human exploitation and ecological disruption take their toll on passenger pigeon populations, driving them inexorably towards extinction.

As readers bid farewell to the vanishing wings of the passenger pigeon, they are left with a renewed sense of urgency and purposeーa determination to protect and preserve the precious biodiversity that sustains us all.</p> <p>"Vanishing Wings" is a poignant tribute to a species lost to time, a cautionary tale of humanity's impact on the natural world, and a rallying cry for conservation and stewardship in an ever-changing world.

<p><strong>Shirley Jackson's third novel, a chilling descent into multiple personalities</strong></p> <p>Elizabeth is a demure twenty-three-year-old wiling her life away at a dull museum job, living with her neurotic aunt, and subsisting off her dead mother’s inheritance. When Elizabeth begins to suffer terrible migraines and backaches, her aunt takes her to the doctor, then to a psychiatrist. But slowly, and with Jackson’s characteristic chill, we learn that Elizabeth is not just one girlーbut four separate, self-destructive personalities. <em>The Bird’s Nest</em>, Jackson’s third novel, develops hallmarks of the horror master’s most unsettling work: tormented heroines, riveting familial mysteries, and a disquieting vision inside the human mind.</p> <p>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Jack the Young Cowboy An Eastern Boy's Experiance on a Western Round-up【電子書籍】[ George Bird Grinnell ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Jack's cowboy life began just as a great change was sweeping over the cattle range. Cattle had first been brought into the country only a few years beforeーold-fashioned long-horns driven up over the trail from Texas.</p> <p>In those days the people in the West were not many. Towns were small, farms almost unknown, wagon roads few. Except about the pastures of the larger ranches, there were no fences. Over most of the land the cowboy roamed alone.</p> <p>His seemed a life of romance. Free as the birds, he wandered over the wide range, going when and where he pleased. But this romance was only apparent. No man worked harder than he, or for less reward. His toilful days and short broken nights; his small pay and his poor food were recorded in the songs that he sang as he rode about the cattle. This was in the early days of the cattle industry.</p> <p>A little later, on the plains came a change from pioneer conditions to those approaching luxury.</p> <p>The earlier cattlemen in the Northーthose who ranged their stock on the Platte and the various forks of the Loup Riverーmade great profits. Yet as time went on they saw competition constantly growing sharper and ranges being overstocked. As the news of their profits drifted eastward many young men, allured by the romance of the cowboy's life, and ignorant of its actual conditions, came into the cattle country. These believed that success with cattle was to be attained by riding about and watching the cattle increase and grow, and shipping them to market when they had grown. They were glad to be interested in a business at once so agreeable and so profitable; and many a one exchanged his money for a herd, a brand and some log buildings, and rode over the range awaiting the advent of his riches. Many of the early cattlemen sold their herds to the newcomers, who, somewhat later, discovered that with the cattle they had bought also much experience.</p> <p>These changes were in operation when Jack entered on his cowboy 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。

44 Years With The Same Bird A Liverpudlian Love Affair【電子書籍】[ Brian Reade ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>There have been football books which have told their tale through the partisan heart of a besotted fan, and those that have dissected their subject through the scientific mind of an objective writer. But rarely does one fuse the blind passion of a lifelong supporter with the cold eye of an award-winning journalist in the way <em>44 Years With The Same Bird</em> does.</p> <p>That bird is the Liver Bird, and on the surface this book is a pitch-side view of the entire modern era of Britain's most successful football club. It is Brian Reade's take on the extraordinary stories behind the 48 trophies he has seen Liverpool lift since watching them en route to their first ever FA Cup win in 1965, right through to the Champions League defeat in Athens in 2007. It takes in all of the big nights that propelled the club to five European Cups, three UEFA Cups, twelve titles, countless domestic cup triumphs, bitter failures, the tragic disasters in Sheffield and Brussels, as well as the barren years of the late 60s and the 90s.</p> <p>But the book goes far deeper than that. It's about how football allowed a father who was separated from his son to forge a precious bond. How a football club can make a city that is dying on its knees keep believing in itself. How you should never, as a professional, get too close to your heroes. How being part of a disaster at a football match (Hillsborough) can leave you a mental wreck, unwilling to carry on, but how witnessing a miracle on a football pitch (Istanbul) makes you realize that no matter how low you sink, you should never give in.</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。

The Bird is Gone A Manifesto【電子書籍】[ Stephen Graham Jones ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Imagine a world where the American government signed a conservation act to "restore all indigenous flora and fauna to the Great Plains," which means suddenly the Great Plains are Indian again. Now fast-forward fourteen years to a bowling alley deep in the Indian Territories. People that bowling alley with characters named LP Deal, Cat Stand, Mary Boy, Courtney Peltdowne, Back Iron, Denim Horse, Naitche, and give them a chance to find a treaty signed under duress by General Sherman, which effectively gives all of the Americas back to the Indians, only hide that treaty in a stolen pipe, put it in a locker, and flush the key down the toilet. Ask LP Deal and the rest what they will trade to get that key back--maybe, everything.</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。
