楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>In "The Little Sister," Raymond Chandler masterfully weaves a complex narrative that explores the dark underbelly of 1940s Los Angeles. Set against a backdrop of Hollywood glamour and seedy undercurrents, the novel follows private detective Philip Marlowe as he navigates a labyrinth of deceit and murder.

Beyond Greece and Rome Reading the Ancient Near East in Early Modern Europe【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Though the subject of classical reception in early modern Europe is a familiar one, modern scholarship has tended to assume the dominance of Greece and Rome in engagements with the classical world during that period. The essays in this volume aim to challenge this prevailing view by arguing for the significance and familiarity of the ancient near east to early modern Europe, establishing the diversity and expansiveness of the classical world known to authors like Shakespeare and Montaigne in what we now call the 'global Renaissance'. However, global Renaissance studies has tended to look away from classical reception, exacerbating the blind spot around the significance of the ancient near east for early modern Europe. Yet this wider classical world supported new modes of humanist thought and unprecedented cross-cultural encounters, as well as informing new forms of writing, such as travel writing and antiquarian treatises; in many cases, and befitting its Herodotean origins, the ancient near east raises questions of travel, empire, religious diversity, cultural relativism, and the history of European culture itself in ways that prompted detailed, engaging, and functional responses by early modern readers and writers. Bringing together a range of approaches from across the fields of classical studies, history, and comparative literature, this volume seeks both to emphasize the transnational, interdisciplinary, and interrogative nature of classical reception, and to make a compelling case for the continued relevance of the texts, concepts, and materials of the ancient near east, specifically, to early modern culture and 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。

Conversing with Chaos in Graeco-Roman Antiquity Writing and Reading Environmental Disorder in Ancient Texts【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>How did ancient Greeks and Romans perceive their environments: did they see order or chaos, chance or control?</strong> And how do their views compare to modern perceptions?<em>Conversing with Chaos in Graeco-Roman Antiquity</em> challenges prevailing ideas that ancient perceptions of the non-human world rested on a profound belief in universal order, and that the cosmos was harmonious and under human control.Engaging with the concept of chaos in both its ancient and modern meanings, and focusing on the ancient Mediterranean and Near East, this book reveals another sense of environmental awareness, one that paid equal attention to chance and chaos, and the sometimes-fatal consequences of human interventions in nature.</p> <p>Bringing together a team of international scholars, the volume investigates the experience of the interaction of humans with the environment, as reflected in ancient evidence from myths and philosophical treatises, to epigraphic evidence and archaeological remains. The contributors consider the role of the human in the formation of perspectives about the natural world and explore themes of agency, affordances, ecophobia, gender and temporality. Overall, the volume reveals how, in ancient imaginations, environments were perceived as living entities with their own agency, and respondent (or even vulnerable) to human actions and decision-making. It highlights how modern insights can enrich our understanding of the past, and demonstrates the increasing relevance of ancient historical research for reflecting on current relations to the natural world.</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。

Sirens of the Western Shore The Westernesque Femme Fatale, Translation, and Vernacular Style in Modern Japanese Literature【電子書籍】[ Indra Levy ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Indra Levy introduces a new archetype in the study of modern Japanese literature: the "Westernesque femme fatale," an alluring figure who is ethnically Japanese but evokes the West in her physical appearance, lifestyle, behavior, and, most important, her use of language. She played conspicuous roles in landmark works of modern Japanese fiction and theater.</p> <p>Levy traces the lineage of the Westernesque femme fatale from her first appearance in the vernacularist fiction of the late 1880s to her development in Naturalist fiction of the mid-1900s and, finally, to her spectacular embodiment by the modern Japanese actress in the early 1910s with the advent of Naturalist theater. In all cases the Westernesque femme fatale both attracts and confounds the self-consciously modern male intellectual through a convention-defying use of language.</p> <p>What does this sirenlike figure reveal about the central concerns of modern Japanese literature? Levy proposes that the Westernesque femme fatale be viewed as the hallmark of an <em>intertextual</em> exoticism that prizes the strange beauty of modern Western writing.</p> <p>By illuminating the exoticist impulses that gave rise to this archetype, Levy offers a new understanding of the relationships between vernacular style and translation, original and imitation, and writing and performance within a cross-cultural context. A seamless blend of narrative, performance, translation, and gender studies, this work will have a profound impact on the critical discourse on this formative period of modern Japanese 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。

<p>In "The Guermantes Way," the third volume of Marcel Proust'??s monumental work "In Search of Lost Time," the narrative delves into the complexities of social dynamics, identity, and the passage of time within the confines of French aristocracy. Proust'??s lyrical prose and stream-of-consciousness technique intertwine intricate character studies with rich descriptions, immersing readers in the world of the Guermantes, a noble family emblematic of societal change. Through the protagonist, Marcel, the novel explores themes of jealousy, aspiration, and existential reflection, encapsulating the transformative experience of art and memory against the backdrop of early 20th-century Parisian society. Marcel Proust, born in 1871 into a well-to-do family, was deeply influenced by his own experiences of societal exclusion and his fascination with art and literature. His acute observations and personal struggles with identity and social belonging provide the impetus for the nuanced characters and settings within "The Guermantes Way." Proust'??s own relationships with the elite, coupled with his introspective nature, significantly shape the narrative'??s exploration of love and rejection.

The Whisperer in Darkness Unveiling cosmic horrors and existential dread in 1920s New England【電子書籍】[ H.P. Lovecraft ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Whisperer in Darkness," H.P. Lovecraft masterfully intertwines elements of horror, science fiction, and folklore to explore the intersection of the mundane and the cosmic. Set against the backdrop of New England's eerie landscapes, the narrative follows a correspondence between Albert N. Wilmarth, a scholar, and the mysterious entities known as the Mi-Go, who traverse the boundaries of reality and dreams. Lovecraft's signature style is marked by richly descriptive prose and an unsettling atmosphere, creating a palpable sense of dread that engages readers while situating the tale within the broader context of early 20th-century American literature, which often grappled with themes of alienation and existential despair. Lovecraft, a pivotal figure in the genre of weird fiction, was influenced by his deep-seated fears of the unknown and his fascination with the occult. His childhood, steeped in myths and legends, coupled with a penchant for cosmic horror, undoubtedly shaped the narrative structure and thematic depth of "The Whisperer in Darkness." The story reflects Lovecraft's ongoing preoccupation with the insignificance of humanity in the vast universe, a profound aspect of his literary identity. I highly recommend "The Whisperer in Darkness" to readers intrigued by the complexities of cosmic horror and the unsettling possibilities of alien existence. Lovecraft's astute psychological insights and innovative narrative form challenge conventional genre boundaries, offering a thought-provoking exploration of fear, knowledge, and the limits of human understanding. This work is essential for both genre aficionados and literary scholars alike.</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。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>In 'The Second Funeral of Napoleon,' William Makepeace Thackeray delivers a poignant and satirical exploration of vanity, nationalism, and the public's obsession with celebrity. The narrative, set against the backdrop of Napoleon Bonaparte'??s death and posthumous reinterment, showcases Thackeray's hallmark wit and sharp social commentary. Through a rich tapestry of characters and vivid scenes, the author employs a keen literary style that intertwines realism with elements of caricature, infused with a poignant irony characteristic of 19th-century English literature. The book serves as both a historical reflection and a critique of the burlesque of political spectacle during an era where the line between reverence and ridicule is expertly blurred.

Camp Life in the Woods and the Tricks of Trapping and Trap Making【電子書籍】[ W. Hamilton Gibson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Of all the various subjects in the catalogue of sports and pastimes, there is none more sure of arousing the enthusiasm of our American boys generally, than that which forms the title of this book. Traps and Trapping, together with its kindred branches, always have been and always will be subjects of great interest among boys, and particularly so to those who live in the country. It is a fact to be regretted that we have so few examples of "Boys' Books" published in this country. There are a few English works of this character, that are very excellent as far as they go, but are nevertheless incomplete and unsatisfactory to the wants of American boys, dwelling largely on sports which are essentially English, and merely touching upon or utterly excluding other topics which are of the utmost interest to boys of this country. In no one of these books, so far as the author of the present volume knows, is the subject of Traps considered to any fair extent, and those examples which are given, represent only the most common and universal varieties already known to the general public.</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。
