Trouble Finds You【電子書籍】[ Joshua Marie Wilkinson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>To say Harry Stables’s life has hit a bit of a low patch lately is an understatement. In his mid-20s, he’s been kicked out of his MFA program for fighting, his ex-girlfriend turned down his spur-of-the-moment marriage proposal, and he’s spent the last ten days in his dad’s falling-down Montana fishing cabin with his dog Greta trying to find out how his mother really died when he was a baby, something his father ? now dying himself of cancer ? has refused to tell either him or his sister their whole lives. On top of all this, he’s just been to a party outside Missoula where he received a nasty dog bite and where he may have been an accessory to a fatal shooting. Ignoring the advice of both his sister and Calvin Hogan ? fishing guide, old friend of his father’s, and companion to the lovable mutt Herkimer ? Harry first tries to untangle the details of the shooting himself and eventually winds up on the lam, pursued by persecutors both real and imagined. As the cops and the accumulated psychic weight of his actions bears down on him, Harry must ultimately reckon with what sort of man he will be.

Harry first tries to untangle the details of the shooting himself and eventually winds up on the lam, pursued by persecutors both real and imagined. As the cops and the accumulated psychic weight of his actions bears down on him, Harry must ultimately reckon with what sort of man he will be.</p> <p>According to George Saunders, “literature is a form of fondness-for-life. It is love for life taking verbal form” and so it is with Trouble Finds You, a modern-day Portis-like quixotic road trip replete with stumbling beauty and searing folly. Set against the beauty of the American West, this is a novel of many colors: a thriller, a mystery, a coming-of-age story, and a family drama. It is populated with characters ? these men and their excellent dogs ? who are sometimes frustrating, frequently stupid, often funny, but always full of life. Harry Stables bears more than a passing resemblance to the Coen brothers’ Llewyn Davis, a lovable curmudgeon committed to a quest of his own design.</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。

Four New Messages【電子書籍】[ Joshua Cohen ]

<p><strong>A quartet of audacious fictions that capture the pathos and absurdity of life in the age of the internet</strong></p> <p><em>*A</em> New York Times Book <em>Review Editors' Choice*</em><br /> <em>*</em> One of Flavorwire's "50 Books That Define the Past Five Years in Literature"</p> <p>A spectacularly talented young writer has returned from the present with <em>Four New Messages</em>, urgent and visionary dispatches that seek to save art, sex, and even alienation from corporatism and technology run rampant.</p> <p>In "Emission," a hapless drug dealer in Princeton is humiliated when a cruel co-ed exposes him exposing himself on a blog gone viral. "McDonald's" tells of a frustrated pharmaceutical copywriter whose imaginative flights fail to bring solace because of a certain word he cannot put down on paper. In "The College Borough" a father visiting NYU with his daughter remembers a former writing teacher, a New Yorker exiled to the Midwest who refuses to read his students' stories, asking them instead to build a replica of the Flatiron Building. "Sent" begins mythically in the woods of Russia, but in a few virtuosic pages plunges into the present, where an aspiring journalist finds himself in a village that shelters all the women who've starred in all the internet porn he's ever enjoyed.</p> <p>Highbrow and low-down, these four intensely felt stories explain what happens when the virtual begins to colonize the real -- they harness the torrential power and verbal dexterity that have established Cohen as one of America's most brilliant younger writers.</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。

A Witch's Lament【電子書籍】[ Joshua Cox-Steib ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The second installment of the series "Modern Magic" introduces us to a young witch with an unusual past. We meet here shortly after her twenty-sixth birthday. It was this day that started it all.</p> <p>This story is written in a style that eschews declarative gender labels for the protagonist within the narrative; as such, it is up to the reader to choose what labels they see fit. There is a careful balance to be maintained when providing written entertainment: the goal is to encourage the reader's imagination without restricting it. A task easier said than done, as the very nature of writing fiction is about constructing imaginative artificial boundaries. This style is an experiment towards balance, and an attempt to make protagonists more universally approachable for the readers in this increasingly diverse world of ours.</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。

Well of Sorrows【電子書籍】[ Joshua Palmatier ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

Colin Harten and his parents had fled across the ocean to escape the Family wars in Andover and find a better life. But the New World proved no haven for the Hartens and their fellow refugees. Forced to undertake an expedition to the unexplored plains east of the newly settled coastal cities, the Hartens and their companions were not prepared for the dangers they would face. Pursued by plains dwellers known as the dwarren, the Hartens' wagon train fled to the very edge of a dark forestーa place they had been warned to avoid at all costs by a small band of Alvritshai warriors, the first race they had encountered on the plains.<br><br>Colin survived the perils of the forest, rescued by spirits of Light, and transformed by the power of the Well of Sorrows, but he paid a very high price. For drinking the LifeBlood--the waters of the Wellーchanged Colin into something not entirely human. And whatever he has become, he might prove the only defense against the dark spirits of the forest and the Wraiths they had created to destroy humans, dwarren, and the Alvritshai alike.<br><br>At the publisher's request, this title is published without DRM (Digital Rights Managment).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。

How to Do Things with Fictions【電子書籍】[ Joshua Landy ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Why does Mark's Jesus speak in parables? Why does Plato's Socrates make bad arguments? Why are Beckett's novels so inscrutable? And why don't stage magicians even pretend to summon spirits anymore? In a series of captivating chapters on Mark, Plato, Beckett, Mallarm?, and Chaucer, Joshua Landy not only answers these questions but explains why they are worth asking in the first place. Witty and approachable, <em>How to Do Things with Fictions</em> challenges the widespread assumption that literary texts must be informative or morally improving in order to be of any real benefit. It reveals that authors are sometimes best thought of not as entertainers or as educators but as personal trainers of the brain, putting their willing readers through exercises designed to fortify specific mental capacities, from form-giving to equanimity, from reason to faith. Delivering plenty of surprises along the way--that moral readings of literature can be positively dangerous; that the parables were deliberately designed to be misunderstood; that Plato knowingly sets his main character up for a fall; that metaphor is powerfully connected to religious faith; that we can sustain our beliefs even when we suspect them to be illusions--<em>How to Do Things with Fictions</em> convincingly shows that our best allies in the struggle for more rigorous thinking, deeper faith, richer experience, and greater peace of mind may well be the imaginative writings sitting on our shelves.</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。

Joshua in a Troubled World A Story for Our Time【電子書籍】[ Joseph F. Girzone ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The bestselling <em>Joshua</em> series takes an invigorating, timely new turn as Girzone’s beloved hero spreads his message of love and compassion from the streets of our nation’s capital to the blood-soaked lands of the Middle East.<br /> Joseph Girzone possesses a unique ability to make Jesus’ words and actions come to life for contemporary audiences. His fictional depictions of Jesus’ return to the present-day worldーthe Joshua seriesーhave inspired millions of readers. <em>Joshua in a Troubled World</em> is at once a magnificent continuation of his perennially popular series and an enlightening perspective on the political paranoia and destructive acts of vengeance that fill the front pages of our daily newspapers. Arriving in Washington, D.C., Joshua walks along Pennsylvania Avenue with a cool detachment and determination that sets him apart from the bustling crowds. Under ordinary circumstances, he would no doubt be seen simply as a man wrapped in his own thoughts. But in these security-obsessed times, his Middle Eastern appearance and his spontaneous stops at various churches, temples, and mosques inevitably arouse suspicions. Taken into custody by two government agents, Joshua challenges the legal and moral justness of their actions and they reluctantly release him to continue his mission. It is the most difficult and controversial mission he has ever undertakenーa plan to unite Arab- and Jewish-Americans and to work with them to resolve the bitter wars and religious animosities in the Middle East. Peopled with prominent figures such as Ariel Sharon, and moving from Washington to Beirut and then to Oslo while the peace accords are being hammered out, <em>Joshua in a Troubled World</em> explores the most explosive issues of our day and offers a realistic, compassionate assessment of the things that divide us and the beliefs that can serve as a foundation for a new, more peaceful 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。

<p>In a world where the veil between the mundane and the supernatural is thin, where werewolves prowl the city streets and vampires lurk in the shadows, one family's fight for survival takes center stage. Izzy Skyliner, a powerful werewolf with a rebellious streak, and Savannah Light, his alluring and fiercely protective vampire wife, find their unconventional family life irrevocably altered with the birth of their son, Gunnerーa hybrid child blessed and cursed by his dual heritage. Their son's existence makes him a prime target for the ancient and ruthless Vampire Board of Counselors and the equally formidable Werewolf King, both powerful entities who see him as a threat to the fragile balance of their world. Forced to flee into the treacherous underbelly of the supernatural world, Izzy, Savannah, and their unwavering ally, Luke Ashcloud (a powerful vampire), embark on a perilous quest for survival. Their journey is fraught with betrayal, heart-stopping action sequences, and intense moments of intimacy that intertwine the fierce love binding them together. Their escape is only the beginning of a far greater struggle to not just survive, but to protect Gunner from forces far more powerful than themselves. This is a battle fought not only with fangs and claws but also with courage, cunning, and a desperate love that defies even the darkest of odds. This is a tale of unlikely alliances, hidden truths, and a desperate fight for a future where a family unlike any other can thrive.

Quattro racconti in cui Joshua Cohen mostra cosa succede quando il virtuale colonizza il reale, cercando, come nel mastodontico Libro dei numeri, di salvare la scrittura, l'arte, il sesso e s?, anche l'alienazione, dalla dilagante ossessione per i brand e la tecnologia.</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 Mission【電子書籍】[ Joshua K Roberts ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In its purest form, the book chronicles the evolution of Holton, a non believer, into a believer within the context of a plot driven, action adventure book. When not running for their lives, the novel deals with major Christian issues including: why believe in a God, why Jesus is significant and creationism. The novel also deals with several issues relevant in the Christian church today, including discussions on disputable matters such as drinking alcohol, tithing, how the church should deal with homosexuality and whether Jesus would be a Democrat or a Republican. The novel opens with a homosexual character hanging himself after being asked to leave the church due to his sexual preference. It follows with a brief chapter on each of the four main characters, including the pastor of the sponsoring mission church. The missionaries meet at the church and discuss the country they are visiting, the plans for the trip, the gear they are taking and the travel itinerary. The Americans then journey to Africa where they miss their transfer and are left to walk the last few miles to their intended destination. A great storm and darkness forces them to take refuge in a nearby primitive village called Tro Kossi. Come morning they learn of their misstep into a forbidden temple area and discover they are being held hostage in the temple area until sundown of the second night when they will be sacrificed to the voodoo gods for the trespass. Overnight, the man who hung himself in the first chapter of the book, shows up in a dream and gives the pastor some cryptic numbers which prove indispensable in their escape from the temple through an abandoned mine located thereunder. While escaping, one of the missionaries sets off an explosion which kills several villagers and raises their commitment to capturing the Americans to a whole new level. Once the missionaries escape from the mine, they head north and ultimately meet up with Christop?, the local missionary that they had intended to spend time with upon their arrival in Benin. Unfortunately, the Tro Kossi got there first and the Americans are turned over to two villagers to be marched back to the village for execution in a tribal ceremony. The balance of the book finds the missionaries escaping yet again and heading for the river where Christop? has stashed a boat for their use. The Tro Kossi ultimately track down the Americans and when they are about to kill them, Christop? shows up to save the day, or so it would seem, as not all of the missionaries escape Africa with their lives. Throughout the adventure, there are numerous conversations between the three Christians and the skeptic. The skeptic grows in his belief in God until ultimately, as he lies dying in the bottom of a boat, Jesus appears in a dream to solidify his transformation into a believer. Ultimately, Holton returns to the States to deliver a message at a funeral that lets everyone know the death was not in vain. The book closes with Christop? returning home to discover his home ransacked and he is left wondering if the Tro Kossi are planning to seek revenge back in the States.</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。

Joshua Springs【電子書籍】[ Julian Gallo ]

<p>Sometime between President Carter’s ‘Malaise’ and the dawn of the Reagan era, Queens, New York. A generation of mostly ‘latch key kids’ find themselves on their own, indulging in every vice available to them. Drugs, music, sex, it’s all there for the taking, since no one is looking. It is a forgotten generation, left to its own devices, exposed to the crumbling aftermath of the ‘Age of Aquarius’ their elders left in their wake. Two boys in particular ー the unnamed narrator and his friend Tad ー navigate these changing times through drugs, sex, music, comic books, and taking a long hiatus from the nightmare of junior high school. Each morning they hang out in the woods near the local park getting high and playing games as they wait for Tad’s mother to go to work so they can have the house to themselves. One morning they discover something that will terrify them and make them question the very nature of those around 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。

The Wilshire Sun【電子書籍】[ Joshua Baldwin ]

<p>“Like the naive main characters in so many American novels and filmsーsay, Nathanael West’s <em>The Day of the Locust</em> and David Lynch’s <em>Mulholland Drive</em>ーBaldwin’s Jacob discovers Los Angeles is much different than he expected. . . . In [his] delightful novella, disarming slackers live life on their terms, bringing to mind younger versions of <em>The Big Lebowski.”</em>ーMinneapolis <em>Star Tribune</em></p> <p>“With his surreal and paranoid debut novella, Baldwin makes a solid contribution to the subset of literature that explores the Hollywood dream . . . treating readers to a tantalizing glimpse beyond the edge of sanity.”ー<em>Publishers Weekly</em></p> <p>"Baldwin's characters search for fame in the shape-shifting landscape of Hollywood. He has a voice that follows the mirage even after it disappears. <em>The Wilshire Sun</em> is a surreal, giddily original debut that plumbs the myth of Los Angeles."ーJames Frey</p> <p><em>The Wilshire Sun</em> is a mirthful novella about a whimsical, hapless, over-aspiring, under-achieving young writer from Brooklyn who moves to Los Angeles hoping to write for the movies. With understated deadpan humor and dynamic, sly, original language and off-kilter imagery, Joshua Baldwin has created a novella that may remind readers of an improbable roundtable meeting of Tao Lin, James Thurber, S.J. Perelman, and Jack Benny. The elements of the novella's constitutionーclipped pieces of fast-paced immediate narrative interspersed with epistolary matter and off-the-cuff riffs on junk food, screenwriting, Walt Whitman, big brothers, bum grandfathers, and crackpot friendsーoffer a delightfully absurd portrait of the artist as a young man for our times in the City of Angels.</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>One day, I came home from work, and my son was at the dinner table playing with his toy dinosaurs. As I settled in on the couch to watch TV, I noticed how much fun he was having and wanted to play too. I sat down at the table with him and began to explain to me what he was doing. He told me how he was making his two favorite T. rex dinosaurs arm wrestle. He explained to me how the smaller one was the arm wrestling champ because he was so small that he has the most power. That's how the story was born.</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 Civil War Letters of Joshua K. Callaway【電子書籍】[ Joshua K. Callaway ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>From the Kentucky Campaign to Tullahoma, Chickamauga to Missionary Ridge, junior officer Joshua K. Callaway took part in some of the most critical campaigns of the Civil War. His twice-weekly letters home, written between April 1862 and November 1863, chronicle his gradual change from an ardent Confederate soldier to a weary veteran who longs to be at home.</p> <p>Callaway was a schoolteacher, husband, and father of two when he enlisted in the 28th Alabama Infantry Regiment at the age of twenty-seven. Serving with the Army of the Tennessee, he campaigned in Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, and north Georgia. Along the way this perceptive observer and gifted writer wrote a continuous narrative detailing the activities, concerns, hopes, fears, discomforts, and pleasures of a Confederate soldier in the field.</p> <p>Whether writing about combat, illness, encampments, or homesickness, Callaway makes even the everyday aspects of soldiering interesting. This large collection, seventy-four letters in all, is a valuable historical reference that provides new insights into life behind the front lines of the Civil War.</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。

Le Guin, Ernest Callenbach, Marge Piercy, Octavia E.
