Creatures That Once Were Men A Gritty Tale of Dehumanization and Exploitation in Pre-Revolutionary Russia【電子書籍】[ Maxim Gorky ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Maxim Gorky'??s "Creatures That Once Were Men" is a poignant exploration of human depravity and social injustice, employing a stark yet evocative literary style that underscores the bleak realities of life in early 20th-century Russia. Gorky's use of vivid imagery and poignant characterizations illuminates the struggles of marginalized individuals, presenting their plight against the backdrop of a society characterized by exploitation and despair. The narrative, infused with naturalism, offers a searing critique of the dehumanizing effects of poverty and the prison-like conditions of modern urban existence. Maxim Gorky, born into a life of hardship, rose from humble beginnings to become a prominent figure in Russian literature, heavily influenced by his own experiences with destitution and societal inequity. His deep-seated empathy for the downtrodden and his advocacy for social reform shape the fabric of his writing. Gorky'??s encounters with both the working class and revolutionary movements instilled in him a sense of urgency to voice the struggles of the oppressed, making this work not just a literary endeavor but a moral call to action. Adventurous and probing, "Creatures That Once Were Men" is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of literature and social activism. Gorky'??s unflinching honesty and artistry invite readers to reflect on the human condition and the societal structures that shape it, making this book an invaluable addition to the canon of social realist literature.</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。

Creatures of Passage【電子書籍】[ Morowa Yejid? ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2022.</strong><br /> Nephthys Kinwell is a taxi driver of sorts in Washington, DC, ferrying ill-fated passengers in a haunted car: a 1967 Plymouth Belvedere with a ghost in the trunk. Endless rides and alcohol help her manage her grief over the death of her twin brother, Osiris, who was murdered and dumped in the Anacostia River.<br /> Unknown to Nephthys when the novel opens in 1977, her estranged great-nephew, ten-year-old Dash, is finding himself drawn to the banks of that very same river. It is there that Dash-reeling from having witnessed an act of molestation at his school, but still questioning what and who he saw-has charmed conversations with a mysterious figure he calls the "River Man," who somehow appears each time he goes there.<br /> When Dash arrives unexpectedly at Nephthys's door one day bearing a cryptic note about his unusual conversations with the River Man, Nephthys must face both the family she abandoned and what frightens her most when she looks in the mirror.<br /> <em>Creatures of Passage</em> beautifully threads together the stories of Nephthys, Dash, and others both living and dead. Morowa Yejid?'s deeply captivating novel shows us an unseen Washington, D.C., filled with otherworldly landscapes, flawed super-humans, and reluctant ghosts, and brings together a community intent on saving one young boy in order to reclaim themselves.</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。

Creatures That Once Were Men【電子書籍】[ Maxim Gorky ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>It is certainly a curious fact that so many of the voices of what is called our modern religion have come from countries which are not only simple, but may even be called barbaric. A nation like Norway has a great realistic drama without having ever had either a great classical drama or a great romantic drama. A nation like Russia makes us feel its modern fiction when we have never felt its ancient fiction. It has produced its Gissing without producing its Scott. Everything that is most sad and scientific, everything that is most grim and analytical, everything that can truly be called most modern, everything that can without unreasonableness be called most morbid, comes from these fresh and untried and unexhausted nationalities. Out of these infant peoples come the oldest voices of the earth.</p> <p>This contradiction, like many other contradictions, is one which ought first of all to be registered as a mere fact; long before we attempt to explain why things contradict themselves, we ought, if we are honest men and good critics, to register the preliminary truth that things do contradict themselves. In this case, as I say, there are many possible and suggestive explanations. It may be, to take an example, that our modern Europe is so exhausted that even the vigorous expression of that exhaustion is difficult for every one except the most robust.</p> <p>It may be that all the nations are tired; and it may be that only the boldest and breeziest are not too tired to say that they are tired. It may be that a man like Ibsen in Norway or a man like Gorky in Russia are the only people left who have so much faith that they can really believe in scepticism. It may be that they are the only people left who have so much animal spirits that they can really feast high and drink deep at the ancient banquet of pessimism. This is one of the possible hypotheses or explanations in the matter: that all Europe feels these things and that only have strength to believe them also. Many other explanations might, however, also be offered. It might be suggested that half-barbaric countries, like Russia or Norway, which have always lain, to say the least of it, on the extreme edge of the circle of our European civilization, have a certain primal melancholy which belongs to them through all the ages. It is highly probable that this sadness, which to us is modern, is to them eternal. It is highly probable that what we have solemnly and suddenly discovered in scientific text-books and philosophical magazines they absorbed and experienced thousands of years ago, when they offered human sacrifice in black and cruel forests and cried to their gods in the dark. Their agnosticism is perhaps merely paganism; their paganism, as in old times, is merely devil-worship. Certainly, Schopenhauer could hardly have written his hideous essay on women except in a country which had once been full of slavery and the service of fiends. It may be that these moderns are tricking us altogether, and are hiding in their current scientific jargon things that they knew before science or civilization were.</p> <p>They say that they are determinists; but the truth is, probably, that they are still worshipping the Norns. They say that they describe scenes which are sickening and dehumanizing in the name of art or in the name of truth; but it may be that they do it in the name of some deity indescribable, whom they propitiated with blood and terror before the beginning of history...</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 Soul of All Living Creatures What Animals Can Teach Us About Being Human【電子書籍】[ Vint Virga D.V.M. ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>As profiled in the <em>New York Times Magazine…</em></p> <p><strong>Based on the author’s twenty-five years of experience as a veterinarian and veterinary behaviorist, <em>The Soul of All Living Creatures</em> delves into the inner lives of animals ? from whales, wolves, and leopards to mice, dogs, and cats ? and explores the relationships we forge with them.</strong></p> <p>As an emergency room clinician four years out of veterinary school, Dr. Vint Virga had a life-changing experience: he witnessed the power of simple human contact and compassion to affect the recovery of a dog struggling to survive after being hit by a car. Observing firsthand the remarkably strong connection between humans and animals inspired him to explore the world from the viewpoint of animals and taught him to respect the kinship that connects us.</p> <p>With <em>The Soul of All Living Creatures</em>, Virga draws from his decades in veterinary practice to reveal how, by striving to perceive the world as animals do, we can enrich our own appreciation of life, enhance our character, nurture our relationships, improve our communication with others, reorder our values, and deepen our grasp of spirituality. Virga discerningly illuminates basic traits shared by both humans and animals and makes animal behavior meaningful, relevant, and easy to understand. Insightful and eloquent, <em>The Soul of All Living Creatures</em> offers an intimate journey into the lives of our fellow creatures and a thought-provoking promise of what we can learn from spending time with them.</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。
