The Greatest Short Stories of Leo Tolstoy【電子書籍】[ Leo Tolstoy ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Wonderfully wide-ranging and enjoyable, this outstanding collection features highly acclaimed short stories by Tolstoy who is regarded as one of the greatest writers in history.<br /> Among Russian writers, <strong>Leo Tolstoy</strong> is probably the best known to the Western world, largely because of War and Peace, his epic in prose, and Anna Karenina, one of the most splendid novels in any language. But during his long lifetime, Tolstoy also wrote enough shorter works to fill many volumes.<br /> The seven parts into which this book is divided include 'God Sees the Truth, but Waits' and 'A Prisoner in the Caucasus' which Tolstoy himself considered as his best. 'How Much Land Does a Man Need?' depicting the greed of a peasant for land; the most brilliantly told parable, 'Ivan the Fool'ーthese are all contained in this volume. The book includes an active table of contents for easy navigation.</p> <p><strong>CONTENTS:</strong></p> <p><strong>PART 1 : FOLK-TALES RETOLD</strong></p> <ol> <li>The Godson</li> <li>The Empty Drum</li> <li>How Much Land does a Man Need?</li> <li>The Repentant Sinner</li> <li>The Three Hermits</li> <li>A Grain as Big as a Hen's Egg</li> <li>The Imp and the Crust<br /> <strong>PART 2 : ADAPTATIONS FROM THE FRENCH</strong></li> <li>Too Dear!</li> <li>The Coffee-House of Surat<br /> <strong>PART 3 : TALES FOR CHILDREN</strong></li> <li>A Prisoner in the Caucasus</li> <li>The Bear-Hunt</li> <li>God Sees the Truth, but Waits<br /> <strong>PART 4 : A FAIRY TALE</strong></li> <li>The Story of Iv?n the Fool<br /> <strong>PART 5 : STORIES GIVEN TO AID THE PERSECUTED JEWS</strong></li> <li>Work, Death and Sickness</li> <li>Esarhaddon, King of Assyria</li> <li>Three Questions<br /> <strong>PART 6 : STORIES WRITTEN TO PICTURES</strong></li> <li>Ily?s</li> <li>Evil Allures, but Good Endures</li> <li>Little Girls Wiser than Men<br /> <strong>PART 7 : POPULAR STORIES</strong></li> <li>A Spark Neglected Burns the House</li> <li>Two Old Men</li> <li>Where Love is, God is</li> <li>What Men Live by</li> </ol> <p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:</strong><br /> <strong>Leo Tolstoy</strong> was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works ー 'War and Peace' and 'Anna Karenina', are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.<br /> His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and anarcho-pacifist. His ideas on non-violent resistance, expressed in such works as 'The Kingdom of God is Within You', were to have a profound impact on such pivotal twentieth-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.</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。

Lives of Thai Temple Boys A Collection of Short Stories from Thailand【電子書籍】[ Maitree Limpichart ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em><strong>Lives of Thai Temple Boys</strong></em> is a cross-cultural coming-of-age collection of stories based on the author's experiences in the late 1950s and early 1960s as an adolescent temple boy from the South of Thailand then living at a Buddhist temple and going to school in Bangkok.</p> <p>Although they very much embody aspects of the culture of Thailand, these stories are also universal and recognizable for the human emotions and relationships they portray. Maitree Limpichart writes insightfully and with the humor, surprise, and irony for which he is well known. It has been remarked that one can see in Limpichart's writing similarities to the short stories of the American author O. Henry.</p> <p>The subject matter is intriguing and wide-ranging as a sampling of the stories illustrates: the quirkiness of a feminine boy (<em>Order and Propriety in the Temple</em>), conflicting Thai and Western notions of nudity (<em>Life at the Water Faucet</em>), parental death and loss (<em>A Telegram from Home</em>), perseverance and dedication (<em>The Remarkable Mr. Ying</em>), and the personality who stands out and marches to the beat of his own drummer (<em>Ai Neuk</em> and <em>More About Ai Neuk</em>).</p> <p>Originally serialized in magazines, these stories were first published in book form as a collection in 1976. The book was selected by the Thai Ministry of Education to be included on a supplemental reading list, and since 1976 has been reprinted 36 times. To date, more than 700,000 copies have been sold in Thailand. It remains a favorite among young adults and adults of all ages.</p> <p>This translation seeks to preserve the nature and feeling of that culture and allows the reader to venture into and experience life in an unfamiliar setting. Each chapter begins with an illustration of the story to come and focuses on a fascinating personality and an aspect of temple-boy life from which poignant, humorous and sometimes universal lessons of life may be drawn.</p> <p>These stories have never before been translated or published in English.</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。
