楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The History of the Life of the Late Mr. Jonathan Wild the Great," Henry Fielding employs a satirical narrative to expose the corruption and moral decay of the early 18th-century society. Written in the amusing and keenly observant style characteristic of Fielding, the work parodies the rise and fall of its eponymous anti-hero, portraying Wild as a criminal mastermind whose pursuits of power and prestige illustrate the blurred lines between heroism and villainy. Set against a backdrop of burgeoning capitalism and social stratification, the novel engages with the literary context of the time, aligning itself with the emerging tradition of the English novel while sharply critiquing contemporary notions of success and virtue. Fielding, a master of the novel form, was deeply influenced by his own experiences in a rapidly changing society, which inspired his exploration of morality and identity. His background as a playwright, coupled with his disdain for the hypocrisy that permeated the legal and social systems of his time, provided fertile ground for crafting a complex protagonist like Wild. The interplay between social commentary and character development reflects Fielding's broader philosophical concerns about human nature and societal constructs. This book is essential reading for scholars and enthusiasts of 18th-century literature, offering insight into the human condition through wit and irony. Fielding'??s adept storytelling not only entertains but also challenges readers to reflect on the consequences of ambition and desire for influence in any era. With its rich characterizations and timeless themes, this work remains a brilliant portrayal of moral ambiguity that transcends its historical context.</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

The Girl from Farris's Love, Loyalty, and Betrayal in 20th Century Chicago's Seedy Underworld【電子書籍】[ Edgar Rice Burroughs ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Edgar Rice Burroughs' "The Girl from Farris's" is a compelling narrative that gracefully intertwines adventure, romance, and social commentary. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the novel unfolds in an exotic tropical paradise, as Burroughs immerses the reader in vivid descriptions and energetic prose that capture the era's spirit. The author employs a romanticized adventure style reminiscent of his famous Tarzan series, yet this tale diverges with its exploration of societal constraints and human relationships, particularly through the lens of love and resilience. Burroughs, an author known for his captivating tales of exploration and the exotic, drew upon his own experiences as a writer in the early 1900s, when themes of colonialism and the machinations of civilization were prevalent. His travels and observations around the world inspired the rich settings and complex character dynamics in this work. "The Girl from Farris's" showcases not just Burroughs' storytelling prowess but also reflects his nuanced understanding of human emotion. This novel is highly recommended for readers who appreciate adventurous narratives interwoven with deeper themes of love and societal critique. Burroughs' engaging style and rich characterizations make it a delightful read for both fans of classic literature and those new to his oeuvre.</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。 310円

The Chrysalids【電子書籍】[ John Wyndham ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The inhabitants of post-apocalypse Labrador have vague knowledge of the "Old People", a technologically advanced civilization they believe was destroyed when God sent "Tribulation" to the world to punish their forebears' sins. The inhabitants practise a form of fundamentalist Christianity; they believe that to follow God's word and prevent another Tribulation, they must preserve absolute normality among the surviving humans, plants and animals, and therefore practice eugenics. Humans with even minor mutations are considered blasphemies and either killed or sterilized and banished to the Fringes, a lawless and untamed area rife with animal and plant mutations, and suggested to be contaminated with radiation. Arguments occur over the keeping of a tailless cat or the possession of over-sized horses. These are deemed by the government to be legitimate breeds, either preexisting or achieved through conventional breeding. The government's position is considered both cynical and heretical by many of the orthodox frontier community, and it is suggested that they support the usage of these animals for the sole purpose of their greater efficiency.</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。 171円
