 Immi's Jewish Self Defense Birth of Krav Maga【電子書籍】[ Stephen Klein ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This is a historical novel based on the real events between the years 1936 and 1940, a period of the rise of fascist populist anti-Semitic party in Bratislava, Slovakia, which serves as the background for an imaginary eye-witness account of the heroism of Immi Litchtenfeld and his friends and associates. It was during this dark period that Immi developed a system of self-defense that is widely practiced throughout the world today, known as "Krav Maga." Faced by angry anti-Semitic mob attacks on the Jewish Quarter of the city, Immi had to develop a system of self-defense for people who were outnumbered and without experience in physical confrontations. Immi had won national acclaim in boxing, wrestling, and gymnastics, but after he witnessed the violence and the constant threat to the Jewish community, he decided to turn his entire orientation to self-defense and to promote it as a viable answer to the fascist violence. Using his father's gym as a base for training, Immi's set out to convince his trainees that they could overcome an adversary that would be physically superior both in numbers and in strength. The beauty of his system was its basic simplicity, which made long periods of complicated training unnecessary. Basically, the idea was to learn how to block an attack and then to strike at vital areas of the body. The attacker became the victim. When survival was at stake, all rules of sportsmanship had to be thrown to the wayside. However, this book is much more than a group's struggle against fascism. It is the day to day life of Immi and his friends who continued to live, laugh, and love, despite the continuous tension they were under.＜/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。 | 162円 |

 The Strange Death of Europe Immigration, Identity, Islam【電子書籍】[ Mr Douglas Murray ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞THE ＜em＞SUNDAY TIMES＜/em＞ NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞A WATERSTONES POLITICS PAPERBACK OF THE YEAR, 2018＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Strange Death of Europe＜/em＞ is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth-rates, mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive change as a society.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, but also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes reporting from across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who appear to welcome them in to the places which cannot accept them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Told from this first-hand perspective, and backed with impressive research and evidence, the book addresses the disappointing failure of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel's U-turn on migration, the lack of repatriation and the Western fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin, Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa and Greece to uncover the malaise at the very heart of the European culture, and to hear the stories of those who have arrived in Europe from far away. In each chapter he also takes a step back to look at the bigger issues which lie behind a continent's death-wish, answering the question of why anyone, let alone an entire civilisation, would do this to themselves?＜/p＞ ＜p＞He ends with two visions of Europe ? one hopeful, one pessimistic ? which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next.＜/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。 | 2,083円 |

 Fire Is Your Water A Novel【電子書籍】[ Jim Minick ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Sacred chants are Ada Franklin’s power and her medicine. By saying them, she can remove warts, stanch bleeding, and draw the fire from burns. At age twenty, her reputation as a faith healer defines her in her rural Pennsylvania community. But on the day in 1953 that her family’s barn is consumed by flame, her identity as a healer is upended. The heat, the roar of the blaze, and the bellows of the trapped cows change Ada. For the first time, she fears death andーfor the first timeーshe doubts God. With her belief goes her power to heal. Then Ada meets an agnostic named Will Burk and his pet raven, Cicero.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Fire Is Your Water＜/em＞ is acclaimed memoirist Jim Minick’s first novel. Built on magical realism and social observation in equal measure, it never gives way to sentimentality and provides an insider’s glimpse into the culture of Appalachia. A jealous raven, a Greek chorus of one, punctuates the story with its judgments on the characters and their actions, until a tragic accident brings Ada and Will together in a deeper connection.＜/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。 | 2,490円 |
 The Perilous Trade "Book Publishing in Canada, 1946-2006"【電子書籍】[ Roy Macskimming ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞A book that will fascinate and inform readers who love Canadian writing＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Part cultural history, part personal memoir, this accomplished, sweeping, yet intimate book demonstrates that the story of Canadian publishing is one of the cornerstones of our literary history.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞The Perilous Trade＜/em＞, former publisher, literary journalist, and industry insider Roy MacSkimming chronicles the extraordinary journey of English-language publishing from the Second World War to the present. During a period of unparalleled transformation, Canada grew from a cultural colony fed on the literary offerings of London and New York to a mature nation whose writers are celebrated around the world. Crucial to that evolution were three generations of book publishers?mavericks, gamblers, entrepreneurs, political activists, and true believers?sharing a conviction that Canadians need books of their own.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Canadian publishing has long made headlinesーbe it Jack McClelland’ s outrageous publicity stunts, American takeovers, the collapse of venerable imprints, or bold political moves to ensure the industry’s survival. Roy MacSkimming takes us behind the headlines to draw memorable portraits of the men and women who built Canada’s literary renaissance. With a novelist’s eye for character and incident, he weaves their tangled relationships with authors, agents, booksellers and each other into a lively narrative rich in anecdote and revealing personal recollection. Canadian publishers large and small have nurtured a literature of extraordinary diversity and breadth, MacSkimming argues, giving us English Canada’s greatest cultural achievement.＜/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。 | 2,995円 |

 The Education of an American Dreamer How a Son of Greek Immigrants Learned His Way from a Nebraska Diner to Washington, Wall Street, and Beyond【電子書籍】[ Peter G. Peterson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞With insight and refreshing candor, Peter G. Peterson describes his remarkable life story beginning in Kearney, Nebraska as an eight-year-old manning the cash register at his father's Greek diner through his "Mad Men" advertising days, to Secretary of Commerce in Nixon's paranoid White House, to the tumultuous days of Lehman Brothers, and to the creation of The Blackstone Group, one of the great financial enterprises in recent times.＜br /＞ In ＜em＞The Education of the American Dreamer＜/em＞, Peterson chronicles the progress of this journey with irony, humor and, sometimes, painful honesty. Within these pages are stories of marriage and family hardship; lessons in political gamesmanship; thoughts on his obsessive desire to succeed; and, finally, learning the meaning of "enough." From his advertising days in Chicago in the 1950's to becoming the youngest CEO of a Fortune 300 Company, he shares with us his rise to the top and the price paid along the way. As the youngest Cabinet member in the Nixon administration, he describes his survival techniques in a hubris-driven and paranoid White House, including his turbulent turf wars with Treasury Secretary John Connally leading to Peterson's abrupt and highly publicized firing. His stewardship of Lehman Brothers is a Shakespearian tale of a CEO who struggled to deal with partners who were plotting his demise and, at the same time, turning an institution on the brink of bankruptcy to one with 5 straight years of record profits.＜br /＞ His life's story is about doing well by doing good. In the wake of Blackstone's highly successful public offering, Peterson found himself an 80-year old instant billionaire, on the verge of retirement. And like many lifetime workers and over-achievers, he suddenly confronts an unexpected, depressing identity crisis. His solution? Committing a great bulk of his net proceeds to establish the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, his philanthropic endeavor to do something about America's politically untouchable challenges that threaten America's future, among them massive entitlement obligations, ballooning health care costs, and our energy gluttony.＜br /＞ Ultimately, this is a man's account of his legendary successes, humiliating failures, and personal tragedies - a testament to a remarkable life and, indeed, to the American Dream itself.＜/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。 | 2,479円 |

 Meine Antonia Klassiker der amerikanischen Literatur: Freundschaft und Herausforderung im Immigrantenleben auf der Pr?rie【電子書籍】[ Willa Cather ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Willa Cathers Roman 'Meine Antonia' ist ein meisterhaftes Beispiel f?r den amerikanischen Pionierroman des fr?hen 20. Jahrhunderts, der die tiefgr?ndige und kraftvolle Geschichte von Antonia Shimerda und ihrem Leben auf den Pr?rien Nebraskas erz?hlt. Durch den Erz?hler Jim Burden erhalten wir Einblicke in Antonias schmerzvolle wie auch triumphale Momente, w?hrend sie sich den Herausforderungen des immigranten Lebens stellt, gepr?gt von Verlust, Widerstandskraft und tief verwurzelten kulturellen Traditionen. Cather verwendet eine lyrische Prosa, die mit einer klaren stilistischen Genauigkeit die Sch?nheit und H?rte des l?ndlichen Amerika wiedergibt und so die innere Entwicklung ihrer Charaktere einf?hlsam und engagiert portr?tiert. 'Meine Antonia' f?gt sich in den literarischen Kontext der amerikanischen Literaturlandschaft ein, indem es Fragen ?ber Identit?t, Heimat und Zugeh?rigkeit stellt. Willa Cather, eine der angesehensten Schriftstellerinnen des Realismus, zog selbst als Kind von Virginia nach Nebraska und lie? sich von diesen Erfahrungen inspirieren, die in ihr eindringliches Erz?hlen von Pioniererfahrungen und dem Leben in der Grenzregion einflossen. Ihr Verst?ndnis f?r die H?rten und Freuden des Landlebens verlieh ihr die F?higkeit, authentische Geschichten ?ber Stolz und Entschlossenheit zu schaffen, die die Jahrhundertwende nachhaltig beeinflussten. Cathers scharfes Gesp?r f?r menschliche Emotionen und ihre Bewunderung f?r Menschen, die in die Neue Welt kamen, um sich ihre Tr?ume zu verwirklichen, spiegeln sich eindrucksvoll in ihren lebendig gezeichneten Charakterstudien wider. '**Meine Antonia**' ist nicht nur ein literarisches Portr?t einer vergangenen Epoche, sondern auch ein Werk von zeitloser Relevanz, das generationen?bergreifend ber?hrt. Leser, die sich f?r historische Romane und tiefgr?ndige Charakterentwicklungen interessieren, werden in Cathers Darstellung von St?rke und Entschlossenheit inspiriert. Der Roman gibt wertvolle Einblicke in die Herausforderungen und Triumphe der Einwanderergenerationen Amerikas und ermutigt dazu, ihre Geschichten zu ehren und fortzusetzen. Dieses ergreifende und erhellende Werk l?dt ein, die Vielschichtigkeit und den Reichtum menschlicher Erfahrungen zu erkunden, und empfiehlt sich besonders f?r jene, die die emotionalen und kulturellen Wurzeln des Landes besser verstehen m?chten.＜/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 |
