The Call of the 'Go-Away' Bird【電子書籍】[ Clare Kerchhoff ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<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。 1,050円

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。 1,657円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE ? The extraordinary and inspiring true story about the surprising bond between a young teacher and the small penguin he rescued</strong></p> <p><strong>“<em>The Penguin Lessons</em> teaches an important truth: that a single act of compassion can be repaid a thousand-fold.”ーSy Montgomery, author of the National Book Award finalist <em>The Soul of an Octopus</em></strong></p> <p>In 1975, twenty-three-year-old Englishman Tom Michell follows his wanderlust to Argentina, where he becomes assistant master at a prestigious boarding school. But Michell’s adventures really begin when, on a weekend in Uruguay, he rescues a penguin covered in oil from an ocean spill, cleans the bird up, and attempts to return him to the sea. The penguin refuses to leave his rescuer’s side. “That was the moment at which he became my penguin, and whatever the future held, we’d face it together,” says Michell in this charming memoir.</p> <p>Michell names the penguin Juan Salvador (“John Saved”), but Juan Salvador, as it turns out, is the one who saves Michell.</p> <p>After Michell smuggles the bird back to Argentina and into his campus apartment, word spreads about the young Englishman’s unusual roommate. Juan Salvador is suddenly the center of attentionーas mascot of the rugby team, confidant to the dorm housekeeper, co-host of Michell’s parties, and an unprecedented swimming coach to a shy boy. Even through the collapse of the Per?nist government and amid the country’s economic and political strife, Juan Salvador brings joy to everyone around himーespecially Michell, who considers the affectionate animal a compadre and kindred spirit.</p> <p>Witty and heartwarming, <em>The Penguin Lessons</em> is a classic in the making, a story that is both absurd and wonderful, exactly like Juan Salvador.</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。 2,334円

Corral Dust from Across the Big Divide More Ghost Writings of Charles M. Russell.【電子書籍】[ Richard Bird Baker ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Will Rogers wrote, <strong>CHARLIE RUSSELL</strong> is the only western artist a true cowboy cant find fault with. Rogers also considered Charlie Americas best storyteller, cowboy humorist, and sagebrush philosopher.</p> <p>Though Charlie was under-schooled and semi-literate, his salty Rawhide Rawlins yarns still delight readers eight decades after he crossed the big divide.</p> <p>Richard Bird Baker has long striven to bring Russells wit, humor, cynicism, and horse sense back to life. In this collection of western yarns, Mr. Baker utilizes Charlie Russell as his early-twentieth-century-styled narrator. He depicts Russell telling yarns in Charlies personal style, utilizing ample dry humor expressed in colorful cowboy lingo. These yarns convey many facets of late-nineteenth-century cowboy life, the good times and the hardships, the joys and sorrows, and above all, the humor and good nature of the western folk icon, the American cowboy.</p> <p>This book is a must for fans of cowboy humor, salty western metaphors, and sagebrush philosophy.</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。 1,144円

Spix’s Macaw The Race to Save the World’s Rarest Bird (Text Only)【電子書籍】[ Tony Juniper ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>An environmental parable for our times ? the story of a beautiful blue bird meeting its nemesis at the end of the 20th-century.</p> <p>In December 1897 the Reverend F. G. Dutton lamented that ‘there are so many calls on a parson’s purse, that he cannot always treat himself to expensive parrots.’ He was hoping to purchase a Spix’s Macaw, a rare and beautiful parrot found in a remote area of Brazil. Today, the parson’s search would be in vain. By the turn of the millennium only one survivor, a lone male, existed in the wild.</p> <p>Spix’s Macaw tells the hearbreaking story of a unique band of brilliant blue birds ? who talk, fall in love, and grieve ? struggling against the forces of extinction and their own desirability. By the second half of the 20th-century the birds became gram for gram more valuable than heroin; so valuable that they drew up to $40,000 on the black markets. When, in 1990, only one was found to be living in the wild, an emergency international rescue operation was launched and an amnesty declared, allowing private collectors to come forward with their illegal birds, possible mates for the last wild Spix.</p> <p>In a breathtaking display of stoicism and endurance, the loneliest bird in the world had lived without a mate for fourteen years, had outwitted predators and second-guessed the poachers. But would he take to a new companion? Spix’s Macaws are like humans ? they can’t be forced to love. With exquisite detail, this book tells the dramatic story of the rescue operation, and of the humans whose selfishness and greed brought a beautiful species to the brink of extinction. The long, lonely flight of the last Spix’s Macaw is both a love story and an environmental parable for our times.</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。 1,334円

TALES OF SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS (26 Stories in One eBook) Including Chickamauga, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, The Mocking-Bird and more【電子書籍】[ Ambrose Bierce ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Ambrose Bierce's 'Tales of Soldiers and Civilians' is a collection of 26 short stories that offer a raw and unfiltered look at war, its brutal realities, and the impact it has on both soldiers and civilians. Written in a straightforward and sometimes satirical style, Bierce's stories provide a stark contrast to the glorified narratives often associated with war literature. Through his vivid storytelling and attention to detail, Bierce exposes the less glamorous side of war, shedding light on the harsh truths that are often overlooked. Ambrose Bierce, a veteran of the Civil War himself, draws upon his own experiences and observations to craft these poignant tales that delve deep into the psyche of those affected by conflict. His unique perspective as both a soldier and a civilian allows him to present a nuanced and thought-provoking portrayal of war that challenges traditional narratives. I highly recommend 'Tales of Soldiers and Civilians' to readers who are interested in exploring the complexities of war and its impact on individuals. Bierce's honest and sometimes dark portrayal of war offers a refreshing take on the genre, making this collection a must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of the human experience in times of conflict.</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

<p><strong>A woman becomes the unknowing subject of an artist's dangerous work in this</strong> <strong>intense</strong> <strong>Hitchcockian</strong> <strong>horror from Josh Malerman, the</strong> <em><strong>New York Times bestselling</strong></em> <strong>author of</strong> <em><strong>Incidents Around the House.</strong></em></p> <p>After a magical night out on the town with her fianc?e Jack, Emily wakes alone in a huge bed situated in a beautiful, well-lit room. But the pink ceiling, the mauve walls, and the deep, dark corners are nothing like the hotel she and Jack rented. More worrisome yet: Emily has no memory of this place from the night before.</p> <p>A woman’s voice directs her to remain in bed.

Beyond the Old Frontier【電子書籍】[ George Bird Grinnell ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The vast territory between the Mississippi River and the Pacific Ocean was once the Far West, beyond the frontier, the Indian countryーthe unknown. 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. Gold was discovered in California, and a wild rush of people anxious to better their condition had started across the plains, bound for the distant Eldorado. 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. Gold was then discovered in the Rocky Mountains. The village of Denver was established, and along the mountain streams the prospector worked with pick and shovel and pan, and wore away his strength and his courage in hunting for gold. Montana also began to yield gold, and Salmon River and Alder Gulch were at the beginnings of their fame. Stages were running across the continent, and the pony express was established. The accounts in the following pages deal with that country, then unknown, and the explorers who penetrated it. It deals with exploration, hunting, the taking of fur, and Indians in peace and war.</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。 421円
