The Mocking-Bird【電子書籍】[ Ambrose Bierce ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In Ambrose Bierce's "The Mocking-Bird," the author artfully weaves a narrative that is rich with imagery and biting social commentary. Set against the backdrop of rural America, the tale showcases the complexities of human emotions and the subtleties of moral dilemmas through the lens of a seemingly simple story. Bierce's literary style, characterized by his sardonic wit and keen observations, allows for a deep exploration of themes such as illusion versus reality and the nature of truth, encapsulating a pivotal moment in American literature that reflects broader societal concerns of his time. Ambrose Bierce, an influential figure in American literature, is best known for his acerbic prose, much of which stems from his experiences as a Civil War soldier and his disappointment with societal conventions. His encounters with the absurdities of life and death motivated him to probe the darker aspects of human nature and societal hypocrisy, creating a unique voice that resonates throughout "The Mocking-Bird". Bierce's distinctive perspective is shaped by both his literary influences and personal disillusionments, informing his vivid storytelling. This compelling work is an essential read for those interested in the intricacies of human relationships and the often opaque boundary between truth and deception. Bierce's articulate prose invites readers to contemplate their own moral convictions while engaging them in a rich tapestry of narrative that remains relevant today. "The Mocking-Bird" is not only a significant literary endeavor but also a profound reflection on the human condition.＜/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: or Adventures In Kensington Gardens (Annotated)【電子書籍】[ J.M. Barrie ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The Little White Bird is a British book by J. M. Barrie, ranging in tone from fantasy and whimsy to social comedy with dark, aggressive undertones.

The Return of the Wounded Bird【電子書籍】[ Moustafa El-Guindy ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Saeed was on the train, yet in a way, he wasn't. He was out of prison, but part of him was still there. A certain kind of prison gets into the head and never comes out; it burrows into the soul and never lets the sun in. When they open the door and let you out, they know you carry the jail inside you. You become, eternally, a self-prisoner. Saeed was thinking about nothing, watching nothing, hearing nothing. He was as he had learned to be for the last three years: the absent present. He couldn't believe that his beloved mother had gone, and that he hadn't been able to give her the land he had promised before she died ? or that he had, perhaps, brought death to her instead of the land. So many times he had desired to die in jail. They had told him, 'We will make you desire death; we will make you implore for it.' And he did. Many times he had asked them to kill him, but they had denied him this, telling him he had no right even to that. It was they, and only they, who decided matters of life and death. The marks of torture were everywhere on his body, but the biggest mark was on his soul. The biggest rupture was inside him, through which everything human had leaked out, leaving him the shadow of a being that once was human.＜/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。	670円
The Power of Silence Exploration of Muteness in Jerzy Kosinski's ≪The Painted Bird≫ and Ken Kesey's ≪One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest≫【電子書籍】[ Hasine ?en ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book discusses silence as a state born either by trauma-inflicted muteness or deliberate abstinence from speech focusing on the mute(d) characters, the nonverbal forms of communication and textual ellipses in Jerzy Kosinski’s ≪The Painted Bird≫ and Ken Kesey’s ≪One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest≫.

It also explores how the trope of muteness functions as an implicit strategy for the investigation of language itself, its power to create meaning, to control and eventuallyー silence.＜/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。	7,273円

The Bird of Time【電子書籍】[ George Alec Effinger ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Far into the future, Hartstein's graduation present from his grandparents was a wonderful trip…into the past. He had a long future in the doughnut industry to look forward to but this trip was the icing on the cake. It had been a long time since that first experiment in time travel was successfully pulled off, although not without its flaws. Now, in the future, time travel was a lucrative tourist industry. But the time travel industry was keeping one little fact to itself: two percent never came back. This cover-up was the work of the Agency. The Agency knew what others did not: that the past wasn't really the past but a complicated dynamic of individual perceptions of what the past might have been. The past isn't real and reality becomes a state of mind. While selling their particular brand of escapist entertainment and vacation packages, the Agency didn't bother to tell its clients or the populace in general that a war was going on--a time war. The Agency was spending its time in a neck-and-neck battle with the Temporary Underground. The battlefield was none other than the space-time continuum, the weapons were time-shifts and theoretical mathematics. Hartstein had no idea what his trip would be or where it would take him.＜/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
Islam Folklore Prophet Jesus (Isa) Son of Mary & The Bird from Clay【電子書籍】[ Muhammad Vandestra ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In the beginning I was clay then I became a bird by Allah's leave.

Look how much I had suffered. Thousands of years passed by without falling in love.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I used to drink water, become satisfied and help scented flowers to grow even without enjoying love. It is the instinct of clay to be watered so we can grow flowers. One seed is enough for me to make what amazes both mind and heart. Through all this, I remained as I was, just simple earthly clay.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I did not see beyond the space taken by my atoms. Clay does not see with eyes for it does not have eyes. Sometimes I see things through a worm or a flower. I do not know what goes on around me; I do not know what happens on top of me. But, sometimes I feel happy and at other times I become sad.＜/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。	330円
Above the East China Sea A novel【電子書籍】[ Sarah Bird ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In her most ambitious, moving, and provocative novel to date, Sarah Bird makes a stunning departure. ＜em＞Above the East China Sea＜/em＞ tells the entwined stories of two teenaged girls, an American and an Okinawan, whose lives are connected across seventy years by the shared experience of profound loss, the enduring strength of an ancient culture, and the redeeming power of family love.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Luz James, a contemporary U.S. Air Force brat, lives with her strictly-by-the-rules sergeant mother at Kadena Air Base in Okianawa. Luz’s older sister, her best friend and emotional center, has just been killed in the Afghan war. Unmoored by her sister’s death and a lifetime of constant moving from base to base, Luz turns for the comfort her service-hardened mother cannot offer to the “Smokinawans,” the “waste cases,” who gather to get high every night in a deserted cove. When even pills, one-hitters, Cuervo Gold, and a growing crush on Jake Furusato aren’t enough to soften the unbearable edge, the desolate girl contemplates taking her own life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In 1945, Tamiko Kokuba, along with two hundred of her classmates, is plucked out of her elite girls’ high school and trained to work in the Imperial Army’s horrific cave hospitals. With defeat certain, Tamiko finds herself squeezed between the occupying Japanese and the invading Americans. She believes she has lost her entire family, as well as the island paradise she so loved, and, like Luz, she aches with a desire to be reunited with her beloved sister.＜/p＞ ＜p＞On an island where the spirits of the dead are part of life and your entire clan waits for you in the afterworld, suicide offers Tamiko the promise of peace. As Luz tracks down the story of her own Okinawan grandmother, she discovers that, if she surrenders to the most ＜em＞un＜/em＞brat impulse and allows herself to connect completely with a place and its people, the ancestral spirits will save not only Tamiko but her as well.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Propelled by a riveting narrative and set at the very epicenter of the headline-grabbing clash now emerging between the great powers, ＜em＞Above the East China Sea＜/em＞ is at once a remarkable chronicle of how war shapes the lives of conquerors as well as the conquered and a deeply moving account of family, friendship, and love that transcends time.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This eBook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.＜/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

The perfect gift for birdwatchers, twitchers and nature lovers who like to roam and read. Contents include: “Birds and Poets, an Excerpt by John Burroughs”, “The Oriole”, “High from the Earth I heard a bird”, “The Bluebird”, “In the Garden”, “The Blue Jay”, “Hope”, “The Humming-Bird”, “Who?”, “The Robin”, “The Oriole’s Secret”, “The Woodpecker”, “If I Shouldn't be Alive”, “How Dare the Robins Sing”, “At Half-Past Three a Single Bird”, “A Train Went Through a Burial Gate”, “Loyalty”, “Not with a Club the Heart is Broken”, “March”, etc. Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (1830?1886) was an American poet commonly hailed as being among the most important figures in American poetry. Not much is known about her personal life, but evidence suggests that this is because she spent most of her time isolated from other people. Those who lived around her claimed that she took to wearing only white apparel and rarely left her bedroom in her later years. Despite being a prolific writer producing a corpus of over 1,800 poems, only 10 were published during her lifetime. Her poetry was considered unusual for her time, incorporating a variety of odd features and breaking many of the conventional rules. Ragged Hand is proud to be publishing this brand new collection of classic poetry now complete with illustrations by Ernest Seton Thompson and an excerpt by John Burroughs.＜/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。	748円
