|
<p><strong>Art, Fate, and Forbidden Love</strong></p> <p>Artist and naturalist Christopher Morton has been unexpectedly called to fill the post of vicar for Cherrybrook's neighbouring town of Wellsey. He quickly wins the hearts of his parishioners, but securing the hand of Miss Cherise Hamblin is out of the question, no matter how ardently he wishes otherwise.</p> <p>Lord and Lady Hamblin live in daily expectation that their elegant daughter will receive a marriage proposal from the Wellsey heir, the arrogant but titled Lord Penfield. Cherise has other ideas. More interested in art than a marriage of convenience, Cherise's chance meeting with the new vicar at "The Artist's Folly", sparks a secretive correspondence that repaints both their lives.</p> <p>Will autumn changes destroy the forbidden love between the humble vicar and the baron's daughter?</p> <p><em>A Year in Cherrybrook is a four-part book series of sweet late Regency era romances. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter each follow four light-hearted love stories all fixed in or around the fictitious English country village of Cherrybrook.</em></p> <p><em>Kisses only, each book may be read in order or as a stand-alone story.</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。

The Flight of A Stone Bird Indenture A Journey of Hope【電子書籍】[ A D MOODLEY ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The Flight of A Stone Bird is about the triumph of the human spirit over the adversities that defined ‘indenture’ and its legacy.</p> <p>In the struggle to unshackle their bondage, men and women scratched out niches with bloodied hands to write a chapter of their existence, a shared destiny and a common destination. From the fragments of a common past and a mutual predicament, another bond emerged the ‘brotherhood’. Emotional, enduring and powerful, devoid of the vestiges of caste or religion, this bond, which became as intimate as real blood kinship, was cherished by men well into their twilight years as a memory of a shared ordeal and of solidarity against the antagonism and adversities of a hostile new world.</p> <p>We shall forever remember those who built the steps we take.</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 Week of Living Dangerously【電子書籍】[ Joan Bird ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>STARTING OVER</p> <p>It began with a very unmerry Christmas, or rather a very merry unChristmas. Or, rather, with the tragic events directly preceding. But Nell Sprigens vowed that her holiday trip to Baja would be the start of something new and not just an escape from something old. More tequila than was prudent, too-tall heels and a mountain of guilt all combined in a madcap whirlwind blur that knocked her off her feet and into the arms of a handsome savior, and soon she was almost naked in his bed. With one knock-knock joke, every boundary fell away. But a hot vacation tryst is just a week of living dangerously. Nell will soon decide where to go next, and her beautiful but broken hero will decide if he can possibly let her leaveーalong with everything they’ve created.</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。

A Bird of the Air: Act 1【電子書籍】[ James Archer ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>A Bird of the Air is the tale about a man (George Malone) who encounters the suffering involved with real loss, while consumed by the philosophies he has encountered and created as they apply to his self-realization. A smart tale told in ordinary language, appealing to the intellectual and the average reader, combining aspects of philosophy, psychology, and humorous (though kindhearted) jabs at modern American, Popular and Western culture and ideals, A Bird of the Air is set both in a minimalist version of the real world and the expansive territories of George Malone's psyche. Maybe a coming-of-age tale, maybe a psychological thriller, and definitely a look into the inner workings of a delusional schizophrenic, this tale is sure to capture the readers attention, and possibly reveal truths which apply to more than the tale's main character.</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。

Sophrosune in the Greek Novel Reading Reactions to Desire【電子書籍】[ Rachel Bird ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book offers the first comprehensive evaluation of ethics in the ancient Greek novel, demonstrating how their representation of the cardinal virtue sophrosune positions these texts in their literary, philosophical and cultural contexts. Sophrosune encompasses the dispositions and psychological states of temperance, self-control, chastity, sanity and moderation. The Greek novels are the first examples of lengthy prose fiction in the Greek world, composed between the first century BCE and the fourth century CE. Each novel is concerned with a pair of beautiful, aristocratic lovers who undergo trials and tribulations, before a successful resolution is reached.</p> <p>Bird focuses on the extant examples of the genre (Chariton's <em>Callirhoe</em>, Xenophon of Ephesus' <em>Ephesiaca</em>, Longus' <em>Daphnis and Chloe</em>, Achilles Tatius' <em>Leucippe and Clitophon</em> and Heliodorus' <em>Aethiopica</em>), which all have the virtue of sophrosune at their heart. As each pair of lovers strives to retain their chastity in the face of adversity, and under extreme pressure from eros, it is essential to understand how this virtue is represented in the characters within each novel. Invited modes of reading also involve sophrosune, and the author provides an important exploration of how sophrosune in the reader is both encouraged and undermined by these works of 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。

About a Bird: Poems From Jerry the Bird【電子書籍】[ Nolan Whyte ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>Jerry the Bird, the star of the beer-soaked, hard-boiled novel Among the Humans, wrote thousands of poems, sending them out to the little poetry magazines across America. About a Bird collects a few of these poems, where Jerry opens up about his difficult early life on the streets, discusses the challenges of being a bird in human society, and ruminates on love. Also included is a chapter of Among the Humans, an interview where he opens up about the success of his novel, and the last thing he ever wrote, a story titled "The Bird (A Very Short Novel)." A great introduction to an amazing character.</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 Caged Bird Words as Resistance in Palestine【電子書籍】[ Marcello Di Cintio ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>For political readers and anyone invested in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Marcello Di Cintio's <em>Song of the Caged Bird</em> is a refreshing look at Palestinian resistance--through literature and the power of books.</strong></p> <p>When Marcello Di Cintio began teaching at the Palestine Writing Workshop in Ramallah, he avoided making reference to the occupation in his assignments at first--to see if his students addressed it on their own--and he soon learned that it touches all aspects of Palestinian life. Curious how Palestinian literature could operate with its people so tied to a single narrative, Di Cintio began a journey through the Palestinian world of books: from the monument to the poet Mahmoud Darwish to the volumes in the Nablus Prisoners' library; from one of the West Bank's most successful bookshops to a century-old library in Jerusalem run by a family with a lineage in that city many centuries older. What he found is a world of identity and resistance that is considerably more complex--and potentially more hopeful--than what we see splashed across our screens.</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。

Journeys in Persia and Kurdistan: Including a Summer in the Upper Karun Region and a Visit to the Nestorian Rayahs (Complete)【電子書籍】[ Isabella Lucy Bird ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The letters of which these volumes are composed embrace the second half of journeys in the East extending over a period of two years. They attempt to be a faithful record of facts and impressions, but were necessarily written in haste at the conclusion of fatiguing marches, and often in circumstances of great discomfort and difficulty, and I relied for their correction in the event of publication on notes made with much care. Unfortunately I was robbed of nearly the whole of these, partly on my last journey in Persia and partly on the Turkish frontier,ーa serious loss, which must be my apology to the reader for errors which, without this misfortune, would not have occurred. The bibliography of Persia is a very extensive one, and it may well be that I have little that is new to communicate, except on a part of Luristan previously untraversed by Europeans; but each traveller receives a different impression from those made upon his predecessors, and I hope that my book may be accepted as an honest attempt to make a popular contribution to the sum of knowledge of a country and people with which we are likely to be brought into closer relations. As these volumes are simply travels in Persia and Eastern Asia Minor, and are not a book on either country, the references to such subjects as were not within the sphere of my observation are brief and incidental. The administration of government, the religious and legal systems, the tenure of land, and the mode of taxation are dismissed in a few lines, and social customs are only described when I came in contact with them. The Ilyats, or nomadic tribes, form a very remarkable element of the population of Persia, but I have only noticed two of their divisionsーthe Bakhtiari and Feili Lurs. The antiquities of Persia are also passed over with hardly a remark, as well as many other subjects, which have been "threshed out" by previous writers with more or less of accuracy. I make these omissions with all the more satisfaction, because most that is "knowable" concerning Persia will be accessible on the publication of a work now in the Press, Persia and the Persian Question, by the Hon. George N. Curzon, M.P., who has not only travelled extensively in the country, but has bestowed such enormous labour and research upon it, and has had such exceptional opportunities of acquiring the latest and best official information, that his volumes may fairly be described as "exhaustive." It is always a pleasant duty to acknowledge kindness, and I am deeply grateful to several friends for the help which they have given me in many ways, and for the trouble which some of them have taken to recover facts which were lost with my notes, as well as for the careful revision of a portion of my letters in MS. I am indebted to the Indian authorities for the materials for a sketch map, for photographs from which many of the illustrations are taken, and for the use of a valuable geographical report, and to Mr. Thistleton Dyer, Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, for the identification of a few of my botanical specimens.</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 That Stole Our Innocence【電子書籍】[ Edward Clark ]

<p>The fourth book in the Rod Gentry series. Ninety million dollars is at stake in Brevard County, Florida. The “good folks” trying to save a beautiful bird from extinction say that’s what it will cost to save it. To stop the bird’s habitat from being destroyed by development, buy up the land with tax money, or confiscate it through regulation. Who cares about the little landowners who worked the land for a lifetime? And why should we care about the people who will never come to our state because housing is too expensive? The new Florida resident unashamedly says, “I’ve got mine! To Hell with the rest of them!”, or the one born here who says “We don’t have room for any more people!” When did we get to the point of denying to our fellow Americans the opportunity of home ownership that we hold so dear for ourselves? Rod Gentry sets out to find the facts. Is the bird endangered? And where will the ninety million dollars come from? And where will it end up?</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 White Garden Mandala Trilogy 1【電子書籍】[ Carmel Bird ]

<p>‘It is an intensely emotional experience to read <em>The White Garden</em>; although an intensely aesthetic one as well. Dr. Ambrose Goddard is a psychologist who sadistically abuses his patients. (He is based on a real-life Australian case of about a generation ago). His air of superiority and professional know-how masks a desperate and seemingly imperturbable desire to control others, especially young women…’ So begins academic Nicholas Birns’s review of <em>The White Garden</em> in the literary journal <em>Antipodes</em>. He concludes: ‘Bird’s book is a splendid, plangent, and memorable achievement, and a permanent contribution to Australian literature.’</p><p><br></p><p>Inspired by the deep sleep therapy scandal in 1960s Sydney, <em>The White Garden</em> begins Carmel Bird’s compelling trilogy examining the dark dangers of charismatic leaders. First published in 1995, it was shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award, the NBC Banjo Awards, and the Aurealis Awards.</p><p><br></p><p>Novelist, essayist and non-fiction writer Carmel Bird was the recipient the Patrick White Award in 2016. Her works include <em>The Blue Bird Caf?</em> (1990) and the thematically-linked Mandala trilogy <em>The White Garden</em> (1995), <em>Red Shoes</em> (1998) and <em>Cape Grimm</em> (2004). Her most recent novel is the acclaimed <em>Field of Poppies</em> (2019) of which Robert Drewe wrote: ‘How to describe <em>Field of Poppies</em>? A lush feast of wit and wisdom? Writing so rich you simply want to devour it? A forensic examination of an Australian country town?

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。

<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。

THE HUNTER,THR BIRD and THE TORTOISE【電子書籍】[ Tandoh Stephen ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The Hunter, the Bird, and the Tortoise is a charming children's book with African influences that emphasizes the importance of taking care of one anotherーone of life's most crucial lessons. Three enduring characters are introduced to readers in this exquisitely written story, which takes place in a peaceful village tucked away in a verdant valley. The Hunter, who feels lonely despite being revered for his prowess, thinks power is the only thing necessary for survival. The Tortoise, who is ridiculed for being slow but wise and patient, subtly reminds us that kindness is more important than speed. And the Bird teaches that even the tiniest voice may inspire change and cure sorrow via her lovely and upbeat songs. A great friendship starts when their paths unexpectedly intersect, when the tortoise is caught in the hunter's trap and the bird valiantly begs for forgiveness. Together, the three encounter difficulties that put their bravery and empathy to the test, such as a devastating drought that puts the entire village in jeopardy. The hunter is initially inclined to keep his findings to himself, but he is taught the true meaning of strengthーsharing, guarding, and caring for othersーby the tortoise's gentle wisdom and the bird's hopeful melodies. The hunter changes along with the village. The community as a whole celebrates the strength of unity during the story's joyful festival of friendship. Because each chapter concludes with a straightforward moral lesson, this book serves as both an enthralling tale and a manual for young readers to consider virtues like cooperation, kindness, patience, and courage. The Hunter, the Bird, and the Tortoise is ideal for kids ages 6 to 12, families, classrooms, and everybody who enjoys classic stories about animals, the natural world, and community since it is full of rich imagery, moral teachings, and discussion starters. This narrative inspires readers to see above pride and selfishness and embrace the joy that comes from taking care of one another by fusing universal themes with African storytelling traditions. This book will make an effect whether it is read aloud before bed, discussed in class, or read on its own by young readers. It is more than just a tale ; it is a celebration of generosity and a reminder that giving, not keeping, is what gives us real strength.</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>Tess Cartieri has called Port Kenneth, TN home for her entire life. An architect specializing in urban renewal, she’s long dreamed of renovating an old sports field at her alma mater, Kenilworth University. But without the funding, the field sits, forgottenーuntil the day she’s hired to take on this project at last.</p> <p>The money is coming from, of all people, the man Tess set free after college, Emerson Mackenzie. He had shared this dream with Tess but had turned his back on her and Port Kenneth when the family business needed him.</p> <p>But now Mack is back in Tess’ life, still reeling from the recent loss of his wife and hoping this project will help him heal. There’s something about Port Kenneth, though, something more than how normal and natural it feels to be with Tess again, that calls to him and he begins investigating what it would take to move his company to the city.</p> <p>Old family secrets come out of hiding and as Mack and Tess face them together and discover the legacy of the Mackenzie Treasure, they cement their commitment to each other and begin to understand how the past will affect their futures.</p> <p>Maybe the Bird Will Rise is a story of the search for answers, the hope that adventures brings, and a second chance at love.</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。

Jemmy Jock Bird Marginal Man on the Blackfoot Frontier【電子書籍】[ John C. Jackson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Jemmy Jock Bird, the son of a Cree woman and an English trader employed by the Hudson's Bay Company, has become part of the mythology of the mountain man era. In this creative non-fiction account, Jackson meticulously reconstructs the life of this intriguing individual who was caught between opposing sides of a dual M?tis heritage.</p> <p>Closely identified with the Cree and the Peigan, Bird's trading activities and undercover work as a "confidential servant" of the Hudson's Bay Company during the competitive period of the fur trade are explored using materials from the Hudson's Bay Company Archives, the Montana Historical Society, and Bird's descendants living on the American Blackfeet Reserve in Browning. As an interpreter, Bird was later instrumental in negotiating the 1855 Blackfoot peace treaty and the 1877 Canadian Treaty 7.</p> <p>Jackson steeps himself in the sparse documentation of the fur trade era to shed some much-needed light on Jemmy Jock Bird's adventurous career - one that straddled the international borders of the northern plains and mountain west and touched upon many aspects of western development.</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。
