<p>First published in 1850, "The Man in the Iron Mask" is a historical fiction novel, written by Alexandre Dumas, that takes place in the 1600s in France.</p> <p>"The Man in the Iron Mask" continues the tale of our four heroes from "The Three Musketeers", Dumas's wildly popular introduction to the mischievous Musketeers ? D'Artagnan, Aramis, Porthos, and Athos. In this dark sequel, we track their lives many years after the prodigious moment when D'Artagnan receives a commission to be a lieutenant in the Musketeers. We find in "The Man in the Iron Mask" that things have changed quite a bit from the seeming happy days of swashbuckling adventures.<br /> In "The Man in the Iron Mask", D'Artagnan remains in the service of the corrupt King Louis XIV after the <em>Three Musketeers</em> have retired and gone their separate ways. Unbeknownst to D'Artagnan, Aramis and Porthos plot to remove the inept king and place the king's twin brother on the throne of France. Meanwhile, a twenty-three-year-old prisoner known only as "Philippe" wastes away deep inside the Bastille. Forced to wear an iron mask, Phillippe has been imprisoned for eight years, has no knowledge of his true identity, and has not been told what crime he's committed. When the destinies of the king and Phillippe converge, the Three Musketeers and D'Artagnan find themselves caught between conflicting loyalties.</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。 2,959円

Comedy and Religion in Classical Athens Narratives of Religious Experiences in Aristophanes' Wealth【電子書籍】[ Francisco Barrenechea ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book opens up a new perspective on Aristophanic drama and its relationship to Greek religion. It focuses on the comedy Wealth, whose fantasy of universal enrichment is structured upon a rich and largely unexplored framework of traditional stories of Greek religious experiences, such as oracles, miracle cures, and the introduction of new gods. The book examines the form and function of these stories, and explores how the playwright adapts them for his own comic purposes, grounding his comic fantasy on stories of philanthropic divinities who dependably respond to the needs of their worshippers. The collaboration of these deities, who act in tandem with their worshippers, achieves the comic fantasy. Francisco Barrenechea also addresses the larger question of how comedy participated in the religion of its time by imagining and dramatizing beliefs, and reveals the salutary bond that can exist between humor and religion in general.</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。 16,542円

In a matter of days, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns to the crypt several times alone to hold his boy's body.</p> <p>From this seed of historical truth, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that breaks free of realism, entering a thrilling, supernatural domain both hilarious and terrifying.

The first woman of color and immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company ー and one of the foremost strategic thinkers of our time ー she transformed PepsiCo with a unique vision, a vigorous pursuit of excellence, and a deep sense of purpose. Now, in a rich memoir brimming with grace, grit, and good humor, <em>My Life in Full</em> offers a firsthand view of Nooyi’s legendary career and the sacrifices it so often demanded.</p> <p>Nooyi takes us through the events that shaped her, from her childhood and early education in 1960s India, to the Yale School of Management, to her rise as a corporate consultant and strategist who soon ascended into the most senior executive ranks. The book offers an inside look at PepsiCo, and Nooyi’s thinking as she steered the iconic American company toward healthier products and reinvented its environmental profile, despite resistance at every turn.</p> <p>For the first time and in raw detail, Nooyi also lays bare the difficulties that came with managing her demanding job with a growing family, and what she learned along the way. She makes a clear, actionable, urgent call for business and government to prioritize the care ecosystem, paid leave and work flexibility, and a convincing argument for how improving company and community support for young family builders will unleash the economy’s full potential.</p> <p>Generous, authoritative, and grounded in lived experience, <em>My Life in Full</em> is the story of an extraordinary leader’s life, a moving tribute to the relationships that created it, and a blueprint for 21st century prosperity.</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。 2,587円

From Villain to Hero Odysseus in Ancient Thought【電子書籍】[ Silvia Montiglio ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Praise for Silvia Montiglio</p> <p>"[A] brilliant and important book. . . . "<br /> ---<em>Journal of Religion,</em> on <em>Silence in the Land of Logos</em></p> <p>"[A]n invigorating reevaluation of both the ancient symbolic landscape and our preconceptions of it."<br /> ---<em>American Journal of Philology</em>, on <em>Wandering in Ancient Greek Culture</em></p> <p>Best known for his adventures during his homeward journey as narrated in Homer's Odyssey, Odysseus remained a major figure and a source of inspiration in later literature, from Greek tragedy to Dante's Inferno to Joyce's Ulysses. Less commonly known, but equally interesting, are Odysseus' "wanderings" in ancient philosophy: Odysseus becomes a model of wisdom for Socrates and his followers, Cynics and Stoics, as well as for later Platonic thinkers. <em>From Villain to Hero: Odysseus in Ancient Thought</em> follows these wanderings in the world of ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, retracing the steps that led the cunning hero of Homeric epic and the villain of Attic tragedy to become a paradigm of the wise man.</p> <p><em>From Villain to Hero</em> explores the reception of Odysseus in philosophy, a subject that so far has been treated only in tangential or limited ways. Diverging from previous studies, Montiglio outlines the philosophers' Odysseus across the spectrum, from the Socratics to the Middle Platonists. By the early centuries CE, Odysseus' credentials as a wise man are firmly established, and the start of Odysseus' rehabilitation by philosophers challenges current perceptions of him as a villain. More than merely a study in ancient philosophy, From Villain to Hero seeks to understand the articulations between philosophical readings of Odysseus and nonphilosophical ones, with an eye to the larger cultural contexts of both. While this book is the work of a classicist, it will also be of interest to students of philosophy, comparative literature, and reception studies.</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。 8,460円

Growing Up In England In Nappies An ABDL Drama【電子書籍】[ Ben Ingram ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>AB Discovery is pleased to publish Ben Ingram from the UK, in his first book - Fear and Joy: A life in and out of nappies.</p> <p>We all have a tale to tell about how we started wearing nappies (or diapers!) and each tale is different. There are varying themes, but there is the one consistent one that nappies 'called to us' when we were young and that attraction grew to become a 'siren call'. We were helpless in the embrace of that cloth nappy or plastic disposable that for reasons we didn't understand - and maybe never did - drew us to wear and wet them.</p> <p>For some, it was part of wanting to be a baby again and for others, a response to extended bedwetting. For others still, it was just the nappy; just the feel of its comfort and security. As children, these feelings are tough to handle, never-mind understand. Adults don't understand and most react badly... or worse.</p> <p>This 60,000 word, illustrated book is the story of one UK boy growing up in the 70s and 80s as a late bedwetter whose attraction to nappies has remained to him up until this day.</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。 747円

Chaucer's Afterlife Adaptations in Recent Popular Culture【電子書籍】[ Kathleen Forni ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This study explores Chaucer's present-day cultural reputation by way of popular culture. In just the past two decades his texts have been adapted to a wide variety of popular genres, including television, stage, comic book, hip-hop, science fiction, horror, romance, and crime fiction. This cultural recycling involves a variety of functions but Chaucer's primary association is with the idea of pilgrimage and the prevailing tenor is populist satire. The target is not only cultural elitism but also the dominant discourse of professional Chaucerians. Academics in turn may have doubts about the value of popular Chaucer; popular culture theory, however, would maintain that such skepticism has less to do with critical discrimination than the assertion of social distinction. Nonetheless, the fact that Chaucer has a popular afterlife, and remains an ideological product over which competing groups lay claim, attests to his current cultural vitality.</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。 2,604円

In het land van El Tigre: Western【電子書籍】[ Neal Chadwick ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Majoor Reilly rijdt de grens over naar Mexico en probeert El Tigre uit te schakelen, de ongekroonde koning van de ergste bandieten die het onveilige grensland ooit hebben geteisterd . "Tot nu toe lijkt alles rustig..." "Het hoeft niets te betekenen, korporaal!" "Natuurlijk niet, meneer..." Ze reden aan het hoofd van een colonne van ongeveer twintig blauwjassen die een geldtransport moesten bewaken. Op een onopvallende vrachtwagen stond het maandloon voor de soldaten van Fort Deming, New Mexico - een klein garnizoen bij de Mexicaanse grens.

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Little Sister," Raymond Chandler masterfully weaves a complex narrative that explores the dark underbelly of 1940s Los Angeles. Set against a backdrop of Hollywood glamour and seedy undercurrents, the novel follows private detective Philip Marlowe as he navigates a labyrinth of deceit and murder. Chandler employs his signature hard-boiled style, characterized by sharp dialogue, vivid imagery, and a tone that oscillates between cynicism and a deep sense of humanity. The novel not only showcases Chandler's pioneering contributions to the noir genre but also reflects the post-war disillusionment permeating American society. Raymond Chandler, a pivotal figure in 20th-century detective fiction, drew from his own experiences in a rapidly changing world. Born in Chicago and raised in California, Chandler was deeply influenced by the social dynamics of urban life, particularly the stark contrasts between affluence and corruption. His personal struggles, including a tumultuous career in corporate writing and a passionate love for literature, laid the groundwork for his distinctive voice, making Marlowe a cultural icon of resilience amidst moral ambiguity. Readers will find "The Little Sister" an indispensable addition to their literary collection. Its intricate plot and rich characterizations invite both casual and scholarly examination, offering insight into human nature and the complexities of justice. Chandler's ability to blend suspense with a keen observation of societal flaws makes this novel a timeless classic, resonating with anyone drawn to the allure of noir narratives.</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。 300円
