The Golden Bird A Southern Tale of Romance, Humor, and Heartwarming Moments【電子書籍】[ Maria Thompson Daviess ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Golden Bird," Maria Thompson Daviess crafts a captivating tale that intertwines themes of ambition, identity, and the quest for fulfillment within the vibrant tapestry of early 20th-century American life. Set against a backdrop of small-town dynamics and the lure of the greater world, Daviess employs a rich, descriptive literary style marked by her keen observations and deep empathy for her characters. The narrative elegantly oscillates between lyrical prose and candid realism, invoking the social changes and gender expectations of her era, while also exploring universal truths of human aspiration and resilience. Daviess, an accomplished author and a leading figure in her time, drew from her personal experiences and the cultural landscape of the American South to inform her writing. Her background as a journalist and her advocacy for women's rights heavily influenced her literary voice, allowing her to challenge societal norms through her characters. "The Golden Bird" is emblematic of Daviess's commitment to exploring the complexities of personal growth and social critique, marking her as a pioneering voice in American literature. Readers seeking an insightful exploration of character development within a historical context will find "The Golden Bird" both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant. Daviess's intricate narrative invites reflection on the pursuit of dreams, making it a must-read for those interested in early 20th-century American literature and the evolving role of women within it.</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

The Little White Bird【電子書籍】[ J. M. Barrie ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Little White Bird is generally divided into three sections: the first chronicles the narrator’s life in London, beginning with how he came to know a little boy named David (who joins him on his adventures), and describes other matters of his everyday life.</p> <p>The second section tells the story of how Peter Pan came to be a “betwixt-and-between” and his adventures in Kensington Gardens, including his interactions with the birds as well as the fairies hidden in the park.</p> <p>Finally, the third section of the book revisits London with the narrator and David. The two make brief visits to Kensington Gardens and embark on a new adventure to Patagonia.</p> <p>The Little White Bird is the first story to include the famous Peter Pan character, two years before Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, the play that made the character famous. While The Litte White Bird can be described as a prelude to the play, inconsistencies such as Peter Pan’s age make the two stories incompatible.</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。 235円

Diana Bishop journeys to the darkest places within herselfーand her family historyーin the highly anticipated fifth novel of the beloved All Souls series, hailed as “your next favorite fantasy read” (<em>Harper’s Bazaar</em>).</strong></p> <p><strong>“<em>The Black Bird Oracle</em> deftly explores the nexus of memory, history, and parenthoodーthe magic, pain, and promises mothers pass onto their children.”ーJodi Picoult</strong></p> <p>Deborah Harkness first introduced the world to Diana Bishop, an Oxford scholar and witch, and vampire geneticist Matthew de Clermont in <em>A Discovery of Witches.</em> Drawn to each other despite long-standing taboos, these two otherworldly beings found themselves at the center of a battle for a lost, enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782.

A Love Letter to Texas Women【電子書籍】[ Sarah Bird ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>"A laugh-out-loud 80-page personal history with heart, grit and a galaxy of stars," the perfect gift for a Texas woman or new transplant to the state ( <em>Austin American-Statesman</em>)</strong><br /> What is it that distinguishes Texas womenーthe famous Yellow Rose and her descendants? Is it that combination of graciousness and grit that we revere in first ladies Laura Bush and Lady Bird Johnson? The rapier-sharp wit that Ann Richards and Molly Ivins used to skewer the good ole boy establishment? The moral righteousness with which Barbara Jordan defended the US constitution? An unnatural fondness for Dr Pepper and queso?<br /> In her inimitable style, Sarah Bird pays tribute to the Texas woman in all her glory and all her contradictions. She humorously recalls her own early bewildered attempts to understand Lone Star gals, from the big-haired, perfectly made-up ladies at the Hyde Park Beauty Salon to her intellectual, quinoa-eating roommates at Seneca House Co-op for Graduate Women. After decades of observing Texas women, Bird knows the species as few others do. <em>A Love Letter to Texas Women</em> is a must-have guide for newcomers to the state and the ideal gift to tell any Yellow Rose how special she is.</p> <p>"In her trademark bitingly funny style, Bird talks about her journey from granola hippydom in New Mexico to the Aqua-Netted friendliness of Texas, and how she learned to love it. Great stories and quotes from greats such as the late Ann Richards and Lady Bird Johnson to everyday ladies getting their hair set in small towns." ー <em>San Antonio Express-News</em></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。 800円

Love Letter to Lola【電子書籍】[ Carmel Bird ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>'You clamber up, heading for the exit, the circle of faint light, as the radiance of the pre-dawn leads you on toward freedom. I follow. You spread your darling wings. You enter the net that awaits you.'</p> <p>Bold, tender, and often fantastical, Love Letter to Lola enters the very pain of loss and grief while preserving a wise, sly, humorous, and ironic point of view. The thylacine, the dodo, the passenger pigeon, the blue macaw are all candidates to return from extinction, and here each is given its own moving narrative. The meaning of the British monarchy is challenged by a green spider; a unicorn and the rainbow serpent contemplate the end of the world; an angel gives his perspective on human life and love with a thoughtful and exquisite mischief. The author's own 'Reflection' on the inspiration and the construction of the stories is a swift and penetrating conversation on how writing happens.</p> <p><em>About the Author</em></p> <p>Carmel Bird won the Patrick White Award for Literature in 2016. She has published novels, short stories, and non-fiction, her 2022 memoir <em>Telltale</em> foregrounding her Tasmanian origins, as well as her lifelong interest in the natural world, and in reading and writing. The Stolen Children - Their Stories, which she published in 1998, is an early landmark work in the promotion of indigenous issues. Love Letter to Lola is the latest offering of an author who is known for the sharpness and originality of her narratives.</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。 986円

Narrated by Dion Graham.</strong></p> <p><strong>A Penguin Classic</strong></p> <p>Set in post-World War II Chicago and Omaha, the novel features Manfred Banks, a young, harmonica-blowing blues singer who is always writing music in his head. Torn between his friendships with fellow musicians and nightclub life and his responsibilities to his wife and child, along with the pressures of dealing with a racist America that assaults him at every turn, Manfred seeks easy answers in "Dirty Bird" (Old Crow whiskey) and in moving on. He moves to Omaha with hopes of better opportunities as a blue-collar worker, but the blues in his soul and the dreams in his mind keep bringing him back to face himself. After a nightmarish descent into his own depths, Manfred emerges with fresh awareness and possibility. Through Manfred, we witness and experience the process by which modern American English has been vitalized and strengthened by the poetry and the poignancy of the African-American experience. As Manfred struggles with the oppressive constraints of society and his private turmoil, his rich inner voice resonates with the blues.</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。 1,555円

Probably Ruby A Novel【電子書籍】[ Lisa Bird-Wilson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>An Indigenous woman adopted by white parents goes in search of her identity in this unforgettable debut novel about family, race, and history.</strong></p> <p><strong>Finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award ? “Engaging . . . Ruby never disappoints with her big heart and outrageous sense of humorーand her resilient search for her own history.”ー<em>The New York Times Book Review</em></strong></p> <p><strong>“A passionate exploration of identity and belonging and a celebration of our universal desire to love and be loved.”ーImbolo Mbue, author of <em>Behold the Dreamers</em></strong></p> <p>This is the story of a woman in search of herself, in every sense. When we first meet Ruby, a M?tis woman in her thirties, her life is spinning out of control. She’s angling to sleep with her counselor while also rekindling an old relationship she knows will only bring more heartache. But as we soon learn, Ruby’s story is far more complex than even she can imagine.</p> <p>Given up for adoption as an infant, Ruby is raised by a white couple who understand little of her Indigenous heritage. This is the great mystery that hovers over Ruby’s lifeーwho her people are and how to reconcile what is missing. As the novel spans time and multiple points of view, we meet the people connected to Ruby: her birth parents and grandparents; her adoptive parents; the men and women Ruby has been romantically involved with; a beloved uncle; and Ruby’s children. Taken together, these characters form a kaleidoscope of stories, giving Ruby’s life dignity and meaning.</p> <p><em>Probably Ruby</em> is a dazzling novel about a bold, unapologetic woman taking control of her life and story, and marks the debut of a major new voice in Indigenous fiction.</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。 933円

Dickie Bird Autobiography The honest and frank life story of the beloved legendary cricket umpire, with a foreword by Michael Parkinson【電子書籍】[ Dickie Bird ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>THE LATE CRICKET LEGEND DICKIE BIRD, IN HIS OWN WORDS.</strong></p> <p>Dickie Bird's retirement was an international event shown on TV screens and newspapers throughout the world. He is a household name, an eccentric, and one of the most loved and respected characters in world cricket. His idiosyncratic style and infectious humour has endeared him to millions, transcending his sport.</p> <p>Fiercely proud of his background as a Yorkshire miner's son, his account follows his youth in Barnsley, his early days as a cricketer, through to his career as an umpire and his experiences of the international scene, all told with total honesty by this very private person. As the most respected umpire in the game, Dickie has serious and constructive points to make about modern cricket. He has fearlessly berated fast-bowlers when necessary. He has some sharp comments to make about ball tampering and he has mixed feelings about the introduction of the third umpire. Dickie wanted to go out at the top and he has certainly done so - after standing at 66 Test matches, three World Cup finals and 92 one-day Internationals.</p> <p>Combining forthright views on the game and those involved in it, compelling accounts of what it is like behind the scenes in cricket at the highest level, and the hilarious stories for which Dickie is so well known, here is the refreshing and enjoyable autobiography of a sporting legend.</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。 1,723円

The Little White Bird【電子書籍】[ James Matthew Barrie ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Little White Bird is a British novel by J. M. Barrie, ranging in tone from fantasy and whimsy to social comedy with dark, aggressive undertones. It was published in November 1902, by Hodder & Stoughton in the UK and Scribner's in the US, although the latter had released it serially in the monthly Scribner's Magazine from August to November. The book attained prominence and longevity thanks to several chapters written in a softer tone than the rest of the book, which introduced the character and mythology of Peter Pan. In 1906, those chapters were published separately as a children's book, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.</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。 164円
