All the Little Bird-Hearts A Novel【電子書籍】[ Viktoria Lloyd-Barlow ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>“A poetic debut which masterfully intertwines themes of familial love, friendship, class, prejudice and trauma with psychological acuity and wit.”─ The 2023 Booker Prize Judges</strong></p> <p><em><strong>I lived for and loved a bird-heart that summer; I only knew it afterwards.</strong></em></p> <p>Sunday Forrester does things more carefully than most people. On certain days, she must eat only white food; she drinks only carbonated beverages; she avoids clocks. It's 1988, before autism was widely diagnosed. Sunday has an old etiquette handbook that guides her through confusing social situations, and to escape, she turns to her treasury of Sicilian folklore. The one thing very much out of her control is Dolly, her clever, headstrong teenage daughter, now on the cusp of leaving their home in the Lake District of England.</p> <p>When the glamourous Vita and Rollo move in next door, the couple disarm Sunday with their charm, and proceed to deliciously break just about every rule in Sunday's book. Soon they are spending loads of time together, and Sunday feels acknowledged like never before. But underneath Vita and Rollo's allure lies something else, something darker. For Sunday has precisely what Vita has always wanted for herself: a daughter of her own.</p> <p>A page-turning psychological drama, <em>All the Little Bird-Hearts</em> is an extraordinary, often witty glimpse into the mind of an autistic woman─and a remarkable debut by an author who is herself autistic. It is also an astute portrait of a woman coming to terms with the meaning of love, of motherhood, and of authenticity, and a poignant reminder about why accepting ourselves can be so freeing.</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。 1,990円

A Cruel Bird Came to the Nest and Looked In【電子書籍】[ Magnus Mills ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A brilliant fantastical satire from the Booker-shortlisted author, reminiscent of the best of Jonathan Swift</strong></p> <p>**'**<strong>Magnus Mills is Britain's most original writer, so forget everything you've been told about fiction - he has never even heard of the rules that apply to everyone else'</strong> <em>The Times</em></p> <p>***'***<strong>A beautiful, singular book; funny and acutely observed'</strong> <em>Independent</em></p> <p>Far away, in the ancient empire of Greater Fallowfields, things are falling apart. The imperial orchestra is presided over by a conductor who has never played a note, the clocks are changed constantly to ensure that the sun always sets at five o' clock, and the Astronomer Royal is only able to use the observatory telescope when he can find a sixpence to put in its slot.</p> <p>But while the kingdom drifts, awaiting the return of the young emperor, who has gone abroad and communicates only by penny post, a sinister and unfamiliar enemy is getting closer and closer...</p> <p><em>A Cruel Bird Came to the Nest and Looked In</em> is Magnus Mills's most ambitious work to date. A surreal portrait of a world that, although strange and distant, contains rather too many similarities to our own for the alien not to become brilliantly familiar and disturbingly close to home. It is comic writing at its best - and it is Magnus Mills's most ambitious, enjoyable and rewarding novel to date.</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。 2,148円

Erich Raeder Admiral of the Third Reich【電子書籍】[ Keith W Bird ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>From 1928 to 1943, Erich Raeder led the German navy during the last turbulent years of the Weimar Republic, the rise of Hitler, and through World War II, yet until now there has not been a full-length biography written about him. This study draws on archival resources and the rich scholarship of German naval history over the past five decades to review the evolution of Raeder's concept of naval strategy and his attempts to achieve the political and military means necessary to attain the navy's global naval ambitions. While previous histories have viewed Raeder as a product of the Wilhelmian era and heir to Admiral von Tirpitz's sea power ideology, this work clearly demonstrates the navy's affinity with Hitler's fascism. Author Keith Bird refutes Raeder's own argument that his navy was non-political and independent and shows him to be a political activist and the architect of German naval policy. For the first time, Raeder's strict leadership of the navy after 1928 and his relationship to Hitler and the National Socialist state is placed in the context of Raeder's formative years as an Imperial naval officer, his First World War combat experience, and his critical role in the survival and development of the post-war Reichsmarine. The author traces the impact of Hitler's influence on both the pace and nature of naval rearmament 1933-1939 and the conduct of the Kriegsmarine in war as well as Raeder's furtive attempts to influence Germany's strategic thinking in favor of a maritime strategy. Blinded by his need to justify the navy's existence and achieve his vision of world power, Raeder was ultimately defeated by the contradictions in his own policies as well as Hitler's and the realities of Germany's resources and military necessities.</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。 4,902円

Bird Dream Adventures at the Extremes of Human Flight【電子書籍】[ Matt Higgins ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>**PEN / ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing (2015 LONGLIST)</p> <p>“[P]erversely entertaining... In a truly intoxicating read that was hard to put down, Matt Higgins has managed to make real a world about as far removed from daily life as it gets.” --<em>Daily Beast</em>**</p> <p><strong>"Matt Higgins cracks open this astonishingly dangerous sport and captures the spectacular adrenaline surges it delivers."</strong><em><strong>--The Wall Street Journal</strong></em></p> <p><strong>"[R]iveting... a must-read. A highflying, electrifying story." --<em>Kirkus</em> (STARRED)</strong></p> <p>A heart-stopping narrative of risk and courage, <em>Bird Dream</em> tells the story of the remarkable men and women who pioneered the latest advances in aerial explorationーfrom skydiving to BASE jumping to wingsuit flyingーand made history with their daring.</p> <p>By the end of the twentieth century BASE jumping was the most dangerous of all the extreme sports, with thrill-seeking jumpers parachuting from bridges, mountains, radio towers, and even skyscrapers. Despite numerous fatalities and legal skirmishes, BASE jumpers like Jeb Corliss of California thought they had discovered the ultimate rush. But all this changed for Corliss in 1999, when, high in the mountains of northern Italy, he and other jumpers watched in wonder as a strangerーwearing a cunning new jumpsuit featuring “wings” between the arms and legsーleaped from a ledge and then actually flew from the vertiginous cliffs.</p> <p>Drawing on intimate access to Corliss and other top pilots from around the globe,<em>Bird Dream</em> tracks the evolution of the wingsuit movement through the larger than life characters who, in an age of viral video, forced the sport onto the world stage. Their exploitsーwhich entranced millions of fans along the wayーdefied imagination. They were flying; not like the Wright brothers, but the way we do in our dreams.</p> <p>Some dared to dream of going further yet, to a day when a wingsuit pilot might fly, and land, all without a parachute. A growing number of wingsuit pilots began plotting ways in which a human being might leap from the sky and land. A half dozen groups around the world were dedicated to this quest for a “wingsuit landing,” conjuring the pursuit of nations that once inspired the race to first summit Everest.</p> <p>Given his fame as a stuntman, the brash, publicity-hungry Corliss remained the popular favorite to claim the first landing. Yet <em>Bird Dream</em> also tracks the path of another man, Gary Conneryーa forty-two-year-old Englishmanーwho was quietly plotting to beat Corliss at his own game. Accompanied by an international cast of wingsuit devoteesーincluding a Finnish magician, a parachute tester from Brazil, an Australian computer programmer, a gruff hang-gliding champion-turned-aeronautical engineer, a French skydiving champion, and a South African costume designerーCorliss and Connery raced to leap into the unknown, a contest that would lead to triumph for one and nearly cost the other his life.</p> <p>Based on five years of firsthand reporting and original interviews, <em>Bird Dream</em> is the work of journalist Matt Higgins, who traveled the world alongside these extraordinary men and women as they jumped and flew in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Offering a behind-the-scenes take on some of the most spectacular and disastrous events of the wingsuit movement, Higgins’s <em>Bird Dream</em> is a riveting, adrenaline-fueled adventure at the very edge of human experience.</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

The Golden Feathers History from a Bird's-Eye View【電子書籍】[ Khalil N. Wanna ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>As a day ends and the horizon transforms into a dark crimson hue, a mother pigeon tells her children a bedtime story that she hopes will not only make them sleepy, but will also prepare them for life. In her mind, stories are the best way to encourage her chicks to metaphorically fly, before they technically spread their wings. As her tale of good versus evil concludes, Mother Sue kisses her birdies goodnight with the hope they will all live a good life. But the general mood within the cage is bleak amid the uncertainty that hangs over them like a dark cloud. As the king they serve heartlessly plots within his hall, not far from the room in which they and their beloved caretaker, Francis, reside, it is not long before he delivers a fiery speech that prompts Francis to wake the pigeons, open their cage, strap an anonymous letter to one of the birds, and release him into the wild. But as the birds continue their important missions of delivering messages, they cannot help but begin questioning their roles in the lives of humans seemingly intent on committing more atrocities. In this fairy tale, a family of feathered messengers attempts to fulfill their important purpose while serving an evil king.</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。 562円

The Blue Bird for Children: The Wonderful Adventures of Tyltyl and Mytyl in Search of Happiness【電子書籍】[ Maurice Maeterlinck ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This School Edition of The Blue Bird for Children is affectionately dedicated to the School Children of America To The Teacher "The Blue Bird, inhabitant of the Pays Bleu, the fabulous blue country of our dreams is an ancient symbol in the folk lore of Lorraine and stands for happiness." Amidst his Belgian roses he continued to work and dream, and upon his youthful dreams he built his plays. They are all shadowy, brief transcripts of emotion, and illustrate beautifully his unity of purpose, of mood and of thought. Whether in philosophy, drama or poetry, Maeterlinck is exclusively occupied in revealing or indicating the mystery which lies only just out of sight beneath the ordinary life. In order to produce this effect of the mysterious he aims at extreme simplicity of style and a very realistic symbolism. He allows life itself to astonish us by its strangeness, by its inexplicable elements. Many of his plays are really pathetic records of unseen emotions. Of all his writings, it is conceded that "The Blue Bird" makes the strongest appeal to children. Maeterlinck has always had much in common with the young. He has the child's mysticism and awe of the unknown, the same delight in mechanical inventions, the same gift of "making believe</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。 315円

The Impossible Bird【電子書籍】[ Patrick O'Leary ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>There is a placeーa worldーwhere famine and poverty do not exist.</em><br /> <em>Nor sickness nor misery nor unhappiness of any kind.</em><br /> <em>Is it Heaven?</em><br /> <em>As two brothers are about to discover,</em><br /> <em>it's more like Hell.</em><br /> Michael Glynn is a hotshot director addicted to a there's-no-success-like-excess hedonism. Daniel Glynn is a professor of literature, devoted husband, and doting father with a quietly buttoned-down life. Brothers bound by blood. But brothers waging a private civil warーan emotional feud of lies and deceit and dark secrets buried but not forgotten.<br /> But all that is about to change.<br /> One day the brothers are visited simultaneously by gun-wielding strangers claiming to be agents of an elite government security agency. Each brother is questioned about the whereabouts of the other. What they want is "the code." The strangers are convinced one of the brothers possesses the code, but they aren't sure which. Having maintained only sporadic contact, Michael and Daniel can be of no assistance. Or so they think. The strangers will not take no for an answer. Their instructions are simple: find your brother or die.<br /> But what begins as a cross-country manhuntーbrother converging on brotherーturns into an odyssey of discovery neither could have imagined. It is a journey that will take them to a world of perfect human happiness. A world purged of suffering. A world without death. A world where a life can be relived and mistakes corrected.<br /> Both have been given a second chance. The question is, is a second chance what they really need?<br /> For Michael and Daniel the answer to that question will be found by unraveling the mystery of the impossible bird.<br /> At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.</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

Beyond the antislavery haven Slavery in early Canadian print culture, 1789?1889【電子書籍】[ Ellie Bird ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book challenges the idealised narrative of Canada as an antislavery haven for self-liberated people to explore Canada’s complicated relationship with slavery. Examining advertisements, abolitionist texts and narratives about slavery in Canadian newspapers and the texts that were printed alongside them, it shows how Canadian readers and enslavers developed an image of themselves as belonging to an antislavery community even while recognising their own complicity in slavery. The book explores narratives that depict the lives of Black settlers in Canada and how slave narratives circulated in Canada. Canada’s relationship with slavery is far more complicated than seeing it as either an antislavery haven or a slaveholding space. Canada was connected to Britain, France, the Caribbean and the United States and this was central to how Canadians and Canadian readers fashioned their self-image in relation to slavery.</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。 16,848円

The Punishment of the Stingy【電子書籍】[ George Bird Grinnell ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Punishment of the Stingy, first published in 1901, has become a classic of American Indian literature. George Bird Grinnell's retelling of Indian tales like "The Star Boy," "The Girl Who Was the Ring," "The First Medicine Lodge," and "Nothing Child" retains the humor and mystery of their sources. Featuring the twin themes of generosity and stinginess, this is the only one of Grinnell's collections to embrace narratives from a number of tribes--Blackfoot, Pawnee, Blood, Piegan, and Chinook. Plucky young heroes emerge from obscurity through their generosity; the closefisted draw down supernatural punishments befitting their cold and hardened spirits. Jarold Ramsey writes, "The history of the Plains Indians as we have it would be unthinkable without the keen eye and honest, diligent pen of George Bird Grinnell. With him, it is still possible after eighty or one hundred years to leap through that historical lightning door that shut so suddenly on the Old West. Among the heroic Pawnees, Cheyennes, Blackfeet, and their neighbors of long ago, stories like these will continue to be our horses, and Grinnell our faithful overland guide."
