The Country of the Pointed Firs and Other Stories【電子書籍】[ Sarah Orne Jewett ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Country of Pointed Firs, Sarah Orne Jewett's masterpiece, established her among the consummate stylists of nineteenth-century American fiction. Composed in a series of beautiful web-like sketches, the novel is narrated by a young woman writer who leaves the city to work one summer in the Maine seaport of Dunnet Landing, and stays with the herbalist Mrs Almira Todd. She writes a New England idyll rooted in friendship, particularly female friendship, weaving stories and conversations, imagery of sea, sky and earth, the tang of salt air and aromatic herbs into an organic 'fiction of community' in which themes and form are exquisitely matched. To quote Willa Cather: 'The 'Pointed Fir' sketches are living things caught in the open, with light and freedom and air spaces about them. They melt into the land and the life of the land until they are not stories at all, but life itself'. This edition, introduced by Alison Easton, also includes ten of Sarah Orne Jewett's short stories, among them 'The Queen's Twin', 'The Foreigner' and 'William's Wedding' set in Dunnet Landing.</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。 1,586円

Karl Emil Franzos, a prominent German author of Jewish descent, draws upon his own background as a lens through which to depict the complexities of Jewish life. Born in what is now Ukraine, and later moving to Germany, Franzos became acutely aware of the cultural dislocation and societal challenges facing Jews during this transformative period. His personal experiences, coupled with a commitment to advocacy for Jewish rights, informed his literary voice, making his depictions both heartfelt and insightful. This collection is highly recommended for readers interested in Jewish literature, European history, or those seeking to understand the nuanced lives of marginalized communities.

That One Patient Doctors and Nurses’ Stories of the Patients Who Changed Their Lives Forever【電子書籍】[ Ellen de Visser ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>THE INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER FEATURING INTERVIEWS WITH DR ANTHONY FAUCI, DAME SALLY DAVIES AND DR JIM DOWN</strong></p> <p><strong>For every doctor there is that one patient, whose story touches them in a way they didn’t expect, changing their entire outlook on life. This inspiring and deeply moving book is the story of those patients.</strong></p> <p>Every weekend, in Holland’s most popular newspaper, <em>de Volkskrant</em>, renowned science-journalist Ellen de Visser asks a different medical professional to tell her about ‘that one patient’; the patient who changed everything for them.</p> <p>Every day, in every country, thousands of patients share their stories with their doctors: stories they may never have told anyone else; stories that are heartbreaking, sometimes funny, and ? just occasionally ? unforgettable. To be able to do their job to the best of their abilities, medical experts use their ‘professional empathy’: they sympathize with their patients but try to keep themselves at a distance. But there is always that one patient who, for whatever reason, bridges this distance and often unwittingly, has a lasting impact on their doctor’s life.</p> <p>There’s the dying patient whose decision to donate their organs would save the lives of five different people, bringing incredible comfort to the family they left behind. Or the little girl who showed clear evidence of having been beaten by an adult, but who remained too loyal to her step-father to say a word. There’s the little boy, diagnosed with life-threatening malaria in a Sudanese refugee camp, whose astonishing survival against the odds still inspires their doctor each time they stand by the bed of a child who looks unlikely to make it. And there’s the cancer patient whose love of cycling and unflagging optimism inspired his oncologist in ways he could never have imagined.</p> <p><em>That One Patient</em> is brimming with intimate stories of connection and of the unanticipated ways we can affect one other’s lives. All of them remind us of just how extraordinary humans can be, and of our incredible capacity for bravery, strength and humour.</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。 2,094円

Accompanied by a selection of short stories, the collection provides a multifaceted exploration of conflict, duty, and the often harsh reality of heroism, situating these themes within the broader discourse of American literature responding to Civil War experiences. Born in 1871 in Newark, New Jersey, Stephen Crane was influenced by the dramatic narratives and human experiences surrounding the Civil War era, despite having never fought in battle himself. His understanding of the war's psychological complexity is marked by his keen observational skills and a deep empathy for human suffering. Crane's experiences as a war correspondent further sharpened his insights into the realities of conflict, allowing him to render a poignant portrayal of soldiers' inner lives during this tumultuous period in American history. This collection is indispensable for readers interested in American literature and history, offering a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the Civil War and the existential struggles of those who fought it. Crane's unique voice remains relevant, inviting contemporary readers to confront the timeless themes of bravery, fear, and moral ambiguity. "The Red Badge of Courage" is not merely a war story; it is an exploration of the human condition, compelling readers to reflect on their own notions of courage.</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
