The Bird That Stole Our Innocence【電子書籍】[ Edward Clark ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<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。 614円

The White Garden Mandala Trilogy 1【電子書籍】[ Carmel Bird ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<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? Literary <em>tour de force</em> will have to do.’</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。 1,174円

Readers seeking an insightful exploration of character development within a historical context will find "The Golden Bird" both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant.

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

Where the Bird Sings Best【電子書籍】[ Alejandro Jodorowsky ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The magnum opus from Alejandro Jodorowskyーdirector of <em>The Holy Mountain</em>, star of <em>Jodorowsky’s Dune</em>, spiritual guru behind <em>Psychomagic</em> and <em>The Way of Tarot</em>, innovator behind classic comics <em>The Incal</em> and <em>Metabarons</em>, and legend of Latin American literature.</strong></p> <p>There has never been an artist like the polymathic Chilean director, author, and mystic Alejandro Jodorowsky. For eight decades, he has blazed new trails across a dazzling variety of creative fields. While his psychedelic, visionary films have been celebrated by the likes of John Lennon, Marina Abramovic, and Kanye West, his novelsーpraised throughout Latin America in the same breath as those of Gabriel Garc?a M?rquezーhave remained largely unknown in the English-speaking world. Until now.</p> <p><em>Where the Bird Sings Best</em> tells the fantastic story of the Jodorowskys’ emigration from Ukraine to Chile amidst the political and cultural upheavals of the 19th and 20th centuries. Like <em>One Hundred Years of Solitude</em>, Jodorowsky’s book transforms family history into heroic legend: incestuous beekeepers hide their crime with a living cloak of bees, a czar fakes his own death to live as a hermit amongst the animals, a devout grandfather confides only in the ghost of a wise rabbi, a transgender ballerina with a voracious sexual appetite holds a would-be saint in thrall. Kaleidoscopic, exhilarating, and erotic, <em>Where the Bird Sings Best</em> expands the classic immigration story to mythic proportions.</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。 1,989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

<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。 142円

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。 393円

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。 350円
