The Gilda Stories Expanded 25th Anniversary Edition【電子書籍】[ Jewelle Gomez ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"<em>The Gilda Stories</em> is groundbreaking not just for the wild lives it portrays, but for how it portrays them--communally, unapologetically, roaming fiercely over space and time."--Emma Donoghue, author of <em>Room</em></p> <p>"Jewelle Gomez sees right into the heart. This is a book to give to those you want most to find their own strength."ーDorothy Allison</p> <p>This remarkable novel begins in 1850s Louisiana, where Gilda escapes slavery and learns about freedom while working in a brothel. After being initiated into eternal life as one who "shares the blood" by two women there, Gilda spends the next two hundred years searching for a place to call home. An instant lesbian classic when it was first published in 1991, <em>The Gilda Stories</em> has endured as an auspiciously prescient book in its explorations of blackness, radical ecology, re-definitions of family, and yes, the erotic potential of the vampire story.</p> <p><strong>Jewelle Gomez</strong> is a writer, activist, and the author of many books including <em>Forty-Three Septembers</em>, <em>Don't Explain</em>, <em>The Lipstick Papers</em>, <em>Flamingoes and Bears</em>, and <em>Oral Tradition</em>. <em>The Gilda Stories</em> was the recipient of two Lambda Literary Awards, and was adapted for the stage by the Urban Bush Women theater company in thirteen United States cities.</p> <p><strong>Alexis Pauline Gumbs</strong> was named one of <em>UTNE Reader</em>'s 50 Visionaries Transforming the World, a Reproductive Reality Check Shero, a Black Woman Rising nominee, and was awarded one of the first-ever "Too Sexy for 501c3" trophies. She lives in Durham, North Carolina.</p> <p>More praise for <em>The Gilda Stories:</em></p> <p>"Jewelle's big-hearted novel pulls old rhythms out of the earth, the beauty shops and living rooms of black lesbian herstory, expressed by the dazzling vampire Gilda. Her resilience is a testament to black queer women’s love, power, and creativity. Brilliant!"--Joan Steinau Lester, author of <em>Black, White, Other</em></p> <p>"In sensuous prose, Jewelle Gomez uses the vampire story as a vehicle for a re-telling of American history in which the disenfranchised finally get their say. Her take on queerness, community, and the vampire legend is as radical and relevant as ever."--Michael Nava, author of <em>The City of Palaces</em></p> <p>"<em>The Gilda Stories</em> are both classic and timely. Gilda emphasizes the import of tenets at the crux of black feminism while her stories ring with the urgency of problems that desperately need to be resolved in our current moment."--Theri A. Pickens, author of <em>New Body Politics</em></p> <p>"<em>The Gilda Stories</em> was ahead of its time when it was first published in 1991, and this anniversary edition reminds us why it's still an important novel. Gomez's characters are rooted in historical reality yet lift seductively out of it, to trouble traditional models of family, identity, and literary genre and imagine for us bold new patterns. A lush, exciting, inspiring read."--Sarah Waters, author of <em>Tipping the Velvet</em></p> <p>" . . . its focus on a black lesbian who possesses considerable agency througout the centuries, and its commentary on gender and race, remain significant and powerful."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em></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。 2,208円

The Awakening and Selected Stories【電子書籍】[ Kate Chopin ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Kate Chopin's groundbreaking depiction of a woman who dares to defy the expectations of society in the pursuit of her desire</strong></p> <p>When <em>The Awakening</em> was first published in 1899, charges of sordidness and immorality seemed to consign it into obscurity and irreparably damage its author's reputation. But a century after her death, it is widely regarded as Kate Chopin's great achievement. Through careful, subtle changes of style, Chopin shows the transformation of Edna Pontellier, a young wife and mother, who - with tragic consequences - refuses to be caged by married and domestic life, and claims for herself moral and erotic freedom.</p> <p>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You Stories【電子書籍】[ Laurie Lynn Drummond ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This riveting debut collection of short fiction about women cops comes from the author's real?life experience as a Baton Rouge police officer. In an entirely fresh and unique voice, these stories reveal the humanity, compassion, humour, tragedy and redemption hidden behind the "blue wall."</p> <p>Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You centres on the lives of five female police officers. Each woman's story?like each call in a police officer's day?varies in its unique drama, but all the tales illuminate the tenuous line between life and death, violence and control, despair and salvation. Because the stories come from the author's own experience, they open a curtain on the truth behind the job?how officers are trained to deal with the smell of death, how violence clings to a crime scene long after the crime is committed, how the police determine when to engage in or diffuse violence, why some people make it from the academy to the force and some don't, and all the friendships, romances, and dramas that happen along the way. It illuminates not only how officers feel while they are in uniform, holding their guns, but also what they feel after they go home and put those guns aside.</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。 1,440円

Rashomon and Seventeen Other Stories (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)【電子書籍】[ Ryunosuke Akutagawa ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>For fans of <em>Sh?gun</em>: The best stories by the father of the Japanese short storyーincluding the two that inspired Kurosawa's classic samurai film about the subjectivity of truthーfeaturingan introduction by Haruki Murakami</strong></p> <p>Ry?nosuke Akutagawa is one of Japan's foremost stylistsーa modernist master whose short stories are marked by highly original imagery, cynicism, beauty and wild humour. "Rash?mon"and "In a Bamboo Grove" inspired Kurosawa's magnificent film and depict a past in which morality is turned upside down, while tales such as "The Nose," "O-Gin" and "Loyalty" paint a rich and imaginative picture of a medieval Japan peopled by Shoguns and priests, vagrants and peasants. And in later works such as "Death Register," "The Life of a Stupid Man," and "Spinning Gears," Akutagawa drew from his own life to devastating effect, revealing his intense melancholy and terror of madness in exquisitely moving impressionistic stories.</p> <p>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
