 Kazantzakis, Volume 2 Politics of the Spirit【電子書籍】[ Peter Bien ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Putting Greek writer Nikos Kazantzakis's vast output into the context of his lifelong spiritual quest and the turbulent politics of twentieth-century Greece, Peter Bien argues that Kazantzakis was a deeply flawed genius--not always artistically successful, but a remarkable figure by any standard. This is the second and final volume of Bien's definitive and monumental biography of Kazantzakis (1883-1957). It covers his life after 1938, the period in which he wrote ＜em＞Zorba the Greek＜/em＞ and ＜em＞The Last Temptation of Christ＜/em＞, the novels that brought him his greatest fame.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A demonically productive novelist, poet, playwright, travel writer, autobiographer, and translator, Kazantzakis was one of the most important Greek writers of the twentieth century and the only one to achieve international recognition as a novelist. But Kazantzakis's writings were just one aspect of an obsessive struggle with religious, political, and intellectual problems. In the 1940s and 1950s, a period that included the Greek civil war and its aftermath, Kazantzakis continued this engagement with undiminished energy, despite every obstacle, producing in his final years novels that have become world classics.＜/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。 | 14,188円 |

 The Survivors of the Chancellor: Diary of J.R. Kazallon, Passenger A riveting tale of survival and despair on the high seas【電子書籍】[ Jules Verne ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In 'The Survivors of the Chancellor: Diary of J.R. Kazallon, Passenger,' Jules Verne presents a gripping tale of survival and endurance, told through the intimate diary entries of J.R. Kazallon. This maritime adventure unfolds against the backdrop of a shipwreck, exploring themes of human resilience in the face of despair and existential threat. Verne's trademark blend of scientific detail and imaginative storytelling creates a vivid narrative that encapsulates the tension between civilization and the primal instincts that arise in life-or-death situations, reminiscent of the naturalistic influences of the 19th century literary movement. Jules Verne, often regarded as a pioneer of science fiction, was born into a time of rapid technological advancement and exploration, which greatly influenced his writing. His experiences aboard ships and his fascination with nautical travel fueled the vivid descriptions and psychological depth found in 'The Survivors of the Chancellor.' Verne's own maritime adventures and encounters with human limitation and folly directly informed the profound insights he offers through Kazallon's harrowing journey. This compelling narrative is a must-read for those interested in adventure literature, maritime history, and the complexities of human nature. Verne's ability to weave suspense with philosophical undertones will resonate with readers, encouraging them to ponder the depths of the human spirit when faced with catastrophe.＜/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 |

 Tennessee Williams' 'A Streetcar Named Desire' - Contrasting the Play With the Movie from 1951 Directed by Elia Kazan Contrasting the Play With the Movie from 1951 Directed by Elia Kazan【電子書籍】[ Valerie Hurst ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,8, University of Tubingen (Englisches Seminar), course: Introduction to Literary Studies, language: English, abstract: ''The marvelous performances in [this] great movie [...] [are] only slightly marred by [a] Hollywood ending.' Tennessee Williams' (cf. Yacowar). Tennessee Williams' play 'A Streetcar Named Desire' from 1947 was often staged and interpreted. It was also the base of Elia Kazan's famous and remarkable movie from 1951. Since a book allows for interpretation, the movie features a different realization. This paper will contrast the written form with the film version. To illustrate the different realizations there will be a closer look at the two special and important scenes, ten and eleven, which are exemplarily for the differences in the general conversion. The decision for exactly these scenes is founded in the striking differences in conversion and adaptation and by reason of plenty of content rapidly beat down in these scenes. Due to many influences, the film departs in places completely from Williams' original. These influences and differences will be described in the following first part. Particular attention will then be paid to the music and noises, and the moods and emotions caused by these. And, due to being close linked to the adaptation of the whole movie, the effects of censorship will be explained. The impact is to work out in which ways the movie is adapted to the play and where it distinguishes from it.＜/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。 | 1,673円 |
 The Dervish【電子書籍】[ Frances Kazan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The first Arab Spring: revolution and passion seethe and erupt in this action-packed romance during the dying days of the Ottoman Empire. Kazan's novel takes us intimately behind the veil, to see and experience the Ottoman world, to let us view, from the “other” side, how the cultural and political antagonisms between the Occident and the Orient of the past century look. There are no easy villains or heroes in this story. Only ardent, unforgettable characters. An American war widow seeks emotional asylum with her sister at the American Consulate in Constantinople during the Allied occupation in 1919. Through a crossstitched pattern of synchronicity Kazan's heroine becomes a vital thread in the fate of Mustafa Kemal (later Ataturk) and his battle for his country's freedom. Based on firsthand accounts of the Turkish nationalist resistance, ＜em＞The Dervish＜/em＞ details the extraordinary events that culminated in 1923 with the creation of the Republic of Turkey. ＜em＞The Dervish＜/em＞ is the dramatic culmination of Kazan's acclaimed novel ＜em＞Halide's Gift＜/em＞, the story of two sisters bound by an extraordinary friendship, and torn apart by their love of radically different men. Translated into seven languages, the novel, according to ＜em＞Publishers Weekly＜/em＞, uncovers “an Islamic world on the brink of change ?that? is carefully detailed and convincing.” The ＜em＞Washington Post＜/em＞ called Kazan's work “Engrossing...” and ＜em＞Booklist＜/em＞ wrote, “Kazan has written a politically intriguing and uniquely stylized novel with a subject matter that is refreshingly untrodden. A master of Turkish studies, she conveys this story with the mystique of billowing incense.” ＜em＞The Dervish＜/em＞ will set readers' heads whirling with its powerful story of political and social power plays. Suspense grows ? la Le Carr?, as do the parallels to the latest news flashes from our own times of Mideast turmoil.＜/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。 | 3,031円 |

 Dark Shadows Inside the Secret World of Kazakhstan【電子書籍】[ Joanna Lillis ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞Dark Shadows＜/em＞ is a compelling portrait of Kazakhstan, a country that is little known in the West. Strategically located in the heart of Central Asia, sandwiched between Vladimir Putin's Russia, its former colonial ruler, and Xi Jinping's China, this vast oil-rich state is carving out its place in the world as it contends with its own complex past and present. Journalist Joanna Lillis paints a vibrant picture of this emerging nation through vivid reportage based on 13 years of on-the-ground coverage, and travels across the length and breadth of this enigmatic country that lies along the ancient Silk Road and at the geopolitical and cultural crossroads where East meets West.＜br /＞ Featuring tales of murder and abduction, intrigue and betrayal, extortion and corruption, this book explores how a president, Nursultan Nazarbayev, transformed himself into a potentate and the economically-struggling state he inherited at the fall of the USSR into a swaggering 21st-century monocracy. A colourful cast of characters brings the politics to life: from strutting oligarch to sleeping villagers, from principled politicians to striking oilmen, from crusading journalists to courageous campaigners.＜br /＞ Traversing dust-blown deserts and majestic mountains, taking in glitzy cities and dystopian landscapes, ＜em＞Dark Shadows＜/em＞ conjures up Kazakhstan as a living, breathing place, full of extraordinary people living extraordinary lives.＜/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。 | 4,934円 |
 Deep Field Dispatches from the Frontlines of Aid Relief, from Pakistan to Kazan, the Punjab to the Pacific【電子書籍】[ Bamforth ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | Deep Field is a UN term for humanitarian operations that take place in extremis ? amid the destruction caused by war and natural disaster. In ＜i＞Deep Field: Dispatches from the Frontlines of Aid Relief＜/i＞ Australian aid worker ＜b＞Tom Bamforth＜/b＞ takes you with him as he responds to the challenges of delivering humanitarian aid under extreme circumstances travelling to some of the most dangerous and difficult regions of the world. It reads as if Don Delillo had been sent to Darfur, John Freeman, ＜i＞Granta＜/i＞.Full of amazing real life characters as well as Toms insightful commentary, full of irony and intelligent reflection, ＜i＞Deep Field＜/i＞ is an intensely human story, not only of current affairs and people in crisis, but of Tom himself and how someones life can change so completely when they find themself in the wrong place at the wrong time ... or is that the right time? ＜i＞Deep Field＜/i＞ is an inspiring adventure story: a unique and humanising view of the events that hit our headlines.Shortly before breakfast on a Saturday morning in 2005, 83000 people were crushed to death in a major Kashmir earthquake. A further three million were instantly rendered homeless across the hills of the Karakorum and the Himalaya. For Tom Bamforth, on an archaeological tour in Pakistans North West Frontier, this was no distant event. He felt the ground shake violently, and took cover under his bed as plaster fell from the ceiling, the walls cracked and furniture crashed around him.The numbers rose slowly, like a cricket innings, and the commentators droned. There was little new information and the television news recycled the same pictures, overlaid with a boxed scorecard showing a slowly growing body count. An apartment complex in Islamabad had collapsed: fifteen people missing. An hour later it had turned to twenty-five; by midafternoon it was 150. The army had been called up, and stood around with guns looking helpless as rapid-reaction teams with sniffer dogs arrived to pull the living from the vast pile of concrete and dust. With every news update, the death toll rose steadily and threatened to continue.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。 | 1,159円 |
 THE ANATOLIAN【電子書籍】[ Elia Kazan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In his powerful new novel, Elia Kazan takes up the life of the young Greek from Anatolia whose early years he chronicled in his first and highly acclaimed novel, ＜em＞America America＜/em＞, giving us the story of a man caught between two worlds and fighting to make a place for himself within them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞We enter the story of 1909. Stavros TopouzoglouーJoe Arness to his American friendsーis meeting the freighter that has brought his family to America. This day marks the culmination of a lifetime of responsibility. Steeled by his harsh life, proud and resourceful, he has nonetheless been governed by the age-old rules of filial duty: putting aside his own needs and desires, he obediently took on the fulfillment of his father’s dream of safety and salvation for their family. For a decade he has worked to bring his family to Americaーan America that has hypnotized and motivated him with its promise of money and power and privilege. But as the family disembarks there is one person missing: his father is dead. Suddenly, Stavros is caught between two powerful and opposing influences. On one side is his family: seven brothers and sisters and his mother look to him for guidance, strength, and support, drawing him back into the ways and tenets of the “old” country. On the other side, the bright-seeming, golden possibilities of the “new” world of America, possibilities that Stavros has only glimpsed from afar, but that he has determined to attain.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Stavros is not prepared for this clash of cultures, nor for the emotional turmoil it produces in him. He has always believed that through sheer will and energy he could achieve anything, but now even his ferocious, unswerving drive cannot sustain him. And so we see him dutifully assume the patriarchal position in the family, only to witness the foundation of family devotion, respect, and love broken down by the terrifying yet heady exigencies of this new life. We see Stavros passionately drawn to Althea Perry, imagining her to be a key to his acceptance into the society he yearns for, but finding instead that she is a constant reminder of the obstacles he must continually face and the sacrifices of pride he must be prepared to make. We see Stavros slowly ingratiating himself with Fernand Sarrafianーthe man he most admires, the man with the kind of power Stavros wants for himselfーonly to learn that Sarrafian’s power is tainted with greed, deceit, and an almost total lack of humaneness. We see how often Stavros must invoke the words his father said to him as a boy: “If you don’t allow yourself to feel it, the shame does not exist.” We see him confronted by his brotherーjust returned from fighting for a Greater Greeceーwhose words to Stavros reverberate with both love and accusation: “I’m thinking of you at night. What you were once, what you are now . . . When we first came here, I was so proud of you . . . Now all you care about is how to make money.” And it is these words that finally force Stavros to acknowledge the devastating impurities in his dream of an American life, to see how completely he’s lost himself in his blind attempt to attain that dream. And he is compelled to devise a plan by which he can redeem not only himself, his family, and the memory of his father, but alsoーeven if only in the smallest measureーthe love for his homeland that he begins to feel with renewed fervor and empassioned dedication.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the story of Stavros, Elia Kazan not only gives us a vividly wrought picture of one man’s struggle to understand his dreams, but he reveals, as well, what it has meant for the immigrant to confront America, and, more importantly, what it has meant for him to confront himself in this seductive, yet often inimical, culture.＜/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。 | 939円 |
 From Stage to Screen - The influence of censorship on Elia Kazan´s A Streetcar Named Desire The influence of censorship on Elia Kazan´s A Streetcar Named Desire【電子書籍】[ Eva T?ttelmann ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,7, University of Cologne (Englisches Seminar), course: Nobody sees anybody truly. Selected works by Tennessee Williams, 8 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Tennesse Williams' play A Streetcar Named Desire is one of the most successful plays in the history of American drama. It was written in 1947 and first staged on December 3, 1947 at the Barrymore Theatre in New York. Blanche DuBois was played by Jessica Tandy, who had worked with Tennessee Williams before. Marlon Brando played Stanley Kowalski and Kim Hunter played Stella, his wife. The Broadway stage production was directed by Elia Kazan. As the play had been such a great success one quickly began to discuss the production of a film version. Nearly the entire Broadway cast was kept for the film, apart from Jessica Tandy, who was replaced by Vivien Leigh. Leigh seemed to promise a larger success due to her award-winning performance in Gone with the Wind about ten years earlier. She had played Blanche in Laurence Olivier's production of A Streetcar Named Desire in London. Similar to the play, the film was directed by Elia Kazan. Kazan's attempt was to stick to the play as much as possible. He and Tennessee Williams were working together closely on the development of the script. The screenplay itself was written by Oliver Saul who had to rewrite a few passages but mostly followed the dramatist's version. The plot of A Streetcar Named Desire raised the interest of industry censor Joseph Breen, who was 'the official administrator of the Code of the Motion Picture Association of America' (Phillips 1980: 81). Breen doubted the subjects discussed in A Streetcar Named Desire to be acceptable in case that they were presented in a motion picture. Although both Williams and Kazan were in opposition to the censor's demands, they were forced to find compromises as the association's influence on the audience was remarkably strong. This paper discusses the scenes that had to undergo a change as a consequence of censorship. I will compare the dramatic text and action with the film plot and try to depict the problems concerning the story, which do appear, even if Kazan and Williams did their very best to avoid this. I will illustrate how Kazan used subtle images and hints in attempt to transport the message he had been forbidden to transport. The ending of the film is of special interest and will be dealt with more explicitly as it changes not only the plot but also special features of the characters. Small modifications through which only little is lost in translation will not be discussed.＜/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。 | 696円 |

 Destiny The Secret Operations of the Yodog? Exiles【電子書籍】[ K?ji Takazawa ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In 1970, nine members of a Japanese New Left group called the Red Army Faction hijacked a domestic airliner to North Korea with dreams of acquiring the military training to bring about a revolution in Japan. The North Korean government accepted the hijackersーwho became known in the media as the Yodog? group, based on the name of the hijacked planeーand two years later they announced their conversion to ＜em＞juche＜/em＞, North Korea’s new political ideology. Little was heard from the exiles until 1988, when a member of Yodog? was unexpectedly arrested in Japan, and communications with the group opened up in the context of his trial.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As a former Red Army Faction member, journalist K?ji Takazawa made several trips to North Korea, reestablished his ties to the group’s leader Takamaro Tamiya, and helped to publish the group’s writings in Japan. After Kim Il Sung revealed that Yodog? members had Japanese wives, Takazawa published a book of interviews with the women, but in the process became suspicious about the romantic stories they told. He also wondered about the members who were missing and learned more details in long, private conversations with Tamiya. After Tamiya’s sudden death in 1995, Takazawa launched his own investigation of what the group had actually been doing for two decades, even traveling to Europe to follow traces there.＜/p＞ ＜p＞An example of superb investigative journalism, ＜em＞Destiny: The Secret Operations of the Yodog? Exiles＜/em＞ offers K?ji Takazawa’s powerful story of how he exposed the Yodog? group’s involvement in the kidnapping and luring of several young Japanese to North Korea, as well as the truth behind their Japanese wives’ presence in the country. Takazawa’s careful research was validated in 2002, when the North Korean government publicly acknowledged it had kidnapped thirteen Japanese citizens during the 1970s and 1980s, including three people whom Takazawa had connected to the Yodog? hijackers. Embedded in his pursuit toward what truly happened to the Yodog? members is Takazawa’s personal reflection of the 1970s, a decade when radical student activism swept Japan, and what it meant to those whose lives were forever changed.＜/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。 | 3,425円 |
 The Selected Letters of Elia Kazan【電子書籍】[ Elia Kazan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This collection of nearly three hundred letters gives us the life of Elia Kazan unfiltered, with all the passion, vitality, and raw honesty that made him such an important and formidable stage director (＜em＞A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman＜/em＞), film director (＜em＞On the Waterfront, East of Eden＜/em＞), novelist, and memoirist.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Elia Kazan’s lifelong determination to be a “sincere, conscious, practicing artist” resounds in these lettersーfully annotated throughoutーin every phase of his career: his exciting apprenticeship with the new and astonishing Group Theatre, as stagehand, stage manager, and actor (＜em＞Waiting for Lefty, Golden Boy＜/em＞) . . . his first tentative and then successful attempts at directing for the theater and movies (＜em＞The Skin of Our Teeth,＜/em＞ ＜em＞A Tree Grows in Brooklyn＜/em＞) . . . his cofounding in 1947 of the Actors Studio and his codirection of the nascent Repertory Theater of Lincoln Center . . . his innovative and celebrated work on Broadway (＜em＞All My Sons, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, J.B＜/em＞.) and in Hollywood (＜em＞Gentleman’s Agreement, Splendor in the Grass, A Face in the Crowd, Baby Doll＜/em＞) . . . his birth as a writer.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Kazan directed virtually back-to-back the greatest American dramas of the eraーby Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williamsーand helped shape their future productions. Here we see how he collaborated with these and other writers: Clifford Odets, Thornton Wilder, John Steinbeck, and Budd Schulberg among them. The letters give us a unique grasp of his luminous insights on acting, directing, producing, as he writes to and about Marlon Brando, James Dean, Warren Beatty, Robert De Niro, Boris Aronson, and Sam Spiegel, among others. We see Kazan’s heated dealings with studio moguls Darryl Zanuck and Jack Warner, his principled resistance to film censorship, and the upheavals of his testimony before the House Committee on Un-American Activities.＜/p＞ ＜p＞These letters record as well the inner life of the artist and the man. We see his startling candor in writing to his first wife, his confidante and adviser, Molly Day Thacherーthey did not mince words with each other. And we see a father’s letters to and about his children.＜/p＞ ＜p＞An extraordinary portrait of a complex, intense, monumentally talented man who engaged the political, moral, and artistic currents of the twentieth century.＜/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。 | 2,351円 |
