 The Long Day The Story of a New York Working Girl, as Told by Herself【電子書籍】[ Dorothy Richardson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "The Long Day," Dorothy Richardson weaves a narrative that explores the intricacies of consciousness through her pioneering use of stream-of-consciousness technique, predating counterparts like Virginia Woolf and James Joyce. Set against the backdrop of early twentieth-century England, this novel encapsulates the protagonist's daily experiences, delving deeply into her thoughts and emotions as she navigates the complexities of urban life. Richardson's prose is characterized by its rhythmic and poetic quality, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the subtleties of her characters' inner lives, thus reflecting the modernist literary movement that sought to capture the nuances of human existence. Dorothy Richardson, often regarded as a trailblazer of modernist literature, was deeply influenced by her own experiences as a woman in a patriarchal society, as well as her commitment to capturing the female perspective. Her journey as a writer was marked by her involvement in the suffrage movement and her belief in the necessity of exploring a woman's inner world. This personal and societal context provides a rich foundation for "The Long Day," where Richardson's unique voice emerges as a powerful commentary on gender and identity. Richly layered and thought-provoking, "The Long Day" is a must-read for those interested in modernist literature, feminist themes, and the exploration of consciousness. Richardson's innovative narrative style and acute observational skills make this text not only an important work in literary history but also a profound examination of the human condition. Readers seeking to engage with a pioneering voice will find an exceptional experience in this insightful novel.＜/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 Days of Henry Thoreau【電子書籍】[ Walter Harding ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞"The best biography we have had." ー Carl Bode, The New York Times Book ReviewHenry David Thoreau is generally remembered as the author of Walden and "Civil Disobedience," a recluse of the woods and political protester who once went to jail. To his contemporaries he was a minor disciple of Emerson; he has since joined the ranks of America's most respected and beloved writers. Few, however, really know the complexity of the man they revere ー wanderer and scholar, naturalist and humorist, teacher and surveyor, abolitionist and poet, Transcendentalist and anthropologist, inventor and social critic, and, above all, individualist.In this widely acclaimed biography, outstanding Thoreau scholar Walter Harding presents all of these Thoreaus. Scholars will find here the culmination of a lifetime of research and study, meticulously documented; general readers will find an absorbing story of a remarkable man. Writing always with supreme clarity, Professor Harding has marshaled all the facts so as best to "let them speak for themselves." Thoreau's thoughtfulness and stubbornness, his more than ordinarily human amalgam of the earthy and the sublime, his unquenchable vitality emerge to the reader as they did to his own family, friends, and critics.You will see Thoreau's work in his family's pencil factory, his accidental setting of a forest fire, his love of children and hatred of hypocrisy, his contributions to the scientific understanding of forest trees, and other more and less familiar aspects of the man and his works. You will find the social as well as the reclusive Thoreau. Reactions to him by such notable contemporaries as Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Walt Whitman ー with Thoreau's responses to them ー are given in rich detail.The totality is as complete, accurate, fair, vivid, and fully rounded a portrait as has ever been drawn. On its appearance, Professor Harding's work immediately established itself as "the standard biography" (Edward Wagenknecht). It has never been superseded. For this Dover edition, the author has corrected minor errors, provided an appendix bibliographically documenting hundreds of facts, and contributed an Afterword updating some of his findings and discussing Thoreau scholarship.＜/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。 | 1,589円 |
