＜p＞＜strong＞“Looks at the ethnographic issues while defining Jewishness in a very fresh, sophisticated way . . . very timely and important.” ー＜em＞Washington Book Review＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Focusing on Eastern and Central Europe before WWII, this collection explores various genres of “ethnoliterature” across temporal, geographical, and ideological borders as sites of Jewish identity formation and dissemination.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Challenging the assumption of cultural uniformity among Ashkenazi Jews, the contributors consider how ethnographic literature defines Jews and Jewishness, the political context of Jewish ethnography, and the question of audience, readers, and listeners. With contributions from leading scholars and an appendix of translated historical ethnographies, this volume presents vivid case studies across linguistic and disciplinary divides, revealing a rich textual history that throws the complexity and diversity of a people into sharp relief.＜/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。

Both liberals and conservatives will see Scalia and his legacy in a new and more illuminating light.” ーAdam Winkler, author of ＜em＞Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Engaging but caustic and openly ideological, Antonin Scalia was among the most influential justices ever to serve on the United States Supreme Court. In this fascinating new book, legal scholar Richard L.

A jumble of contradictions, Scalia promised neutral tools to legitimize the Supreme Court, but his jurisprudence and confrontational style moved the Court to the right, alienated potential allies, and helped to delegitimize the institution he was trying to save.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Absorbing . . .

Though he’s returned to his former job, the police inspector has been tainted by his Nazi associations. His suspicious colleagues see him as a collaborator, and he’s unwelcome at his old haunts. But the Germans aren’t done with Rossett. When decorated SS Captain Karl Bauer kills the US consul in Liverpool, then goes on the run, Generalmajor Neumann orders Rossett to find the missing killerーa swift, cunning, and ruthless man known as "the Bear."＜/p＞ ＜p＞While the Nazis still maintain control over London, Liverpool is run by criminal networks and the British resistance. A wasteland of burned-out buildings and mountains of rubble, the northern port city is the perfect place for a clever warrior like Bauer to hide. Neumann and Rossett’s search also turns up damning new information: Bauer’s superior, Major Theo Dannecker, has been colluding with the US consul and the British resistance to smuggle large amounts of gold out of the country. As for the Bear, the fervent SS officer has repudiated his allegiance to the crumbling Reich and is now focused on destroying Rossett, the famed "British Lion," one innocent victim at a time.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To prevent more deaths and protect Britain, Rossett must trap the Bear and uncover a diabolical conspiracy that has brought Nazi officers and the British resistance together. Vivid and energetic, full of Schumacher’s trademark action and rich, conflicted characters, ＜em＞An Army of One＜/em＞ reveals how the strength of one man can turn the tide in an uncertain world.＜/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。

＜p＞＜strong＞A “thoroughly enjoyable” collection of stories imagining the Red Planet during the golden age of science fiction, from an award-winning anthologist (＜em＞Kirkus Reviews＜/em＞).＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞An antique-shop owner gets a glimpse of the Red Planet through an intriguing artifact. A Martian’s wife contemplates the possibility of life on Earth. A resident of Venus describes his travels across the two alien planets. From an arid desert to an advanced society far superior to Earth’s, portrayals of Mars have differed radically in their attempts to uncover the truth about our neighboring planet.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since the 1880s, after an astronomer described “channels” on its surface, writers have speculated endlessly on what life on Mars might look like and what might happen should we make contact with its inhabitants. This collection offers ten wildly imaginative stories by famed authors like H.G. Wells, Ray Bradbury, and J.G. Ballard as well as hard-to-find selections by unjustly forgotten writers of the genre. Introduced by acclaimed anthologist Mike Ashley, they vividly evoke a time when notions of life on other planetsーfrom vegetation and water to space invaders and utopian societiesーwere new and startling. As we continue to imagine landing people on Mars, these stories represent gripping and vivid dispatches from futurists past.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“[A] superlative set of stories. . . . Vibrant and powerful.” ー＜em＞Locus＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“These stories are of the highest quality and illustrate how our evolving understanding of the Red Planet changed the way we wrote about it and how Mars came to occupy a prominent position in our hopes, dreams, and fears as the modern age dawned and grew.” ー＜em＞Booklist＜/em＞＜/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。

＜p＞＜strong＞“Haunting. . . . Wonderfully strange and eerie, ＜em＞Intimations＜/em＞ outlines the confusion, loss, and anxieties that underlie the different stages of mortality, forcing us to re-examine the often unsettling realities of our existence.” ー ＜em＞Buzzfeed＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞“Brilliantly alive. . . . the world is parsed with a charming exactitude that magnifies all its latent marvels and especially horrorsーthe blacker and more peculiar these stories get, the funnier they are.” ー ＜em＞New York Times Book Review＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞From the celebrated author of ＜em＞You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine＜/em＞, a thought-provoking, often unsettling story collection that consists, broadly, of narrative diagrams of the three main stages in a human life: birth, life, and death.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alexandra Kleeman’s debut novel ＜em＞You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine＜/em＞ earned her comparisons to Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, Ben Marcus, and Tom Perrotta. It was praised by the ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ as "a powerful allegory of our civilization’s many maladies, artfully and elegantly articulated, by one of the young wise women of our generation."＜/p＞ ＜p＞In her second book, a collection of twelve stories irresistibly seductive in their strangeness, she explores human life from beginning to end: the distress of birth into a world already formed; the brief and confusing period of "living" where we understand what is expected of us and struggle to do it; and the death-y period toward the end where we sense it is ending and will end only partially understood, at best.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The title is taken from one of the stories ("Intimation"), but is also a play on Wordsworth's "Intimations of Immortality"ーonly in this case it’s not clear exactly what is being intimated, but it’s nothing so gleaming and good as Immortality. The middle, "Living" section of the book, is fleshed out with a set of stories that borrow more from traditional realist fiction to illustrate the inner lives of the characters.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At once familiar and mysterious, these stories have an eerie resonance as its characters find themselves in new and surprising situations. An unnamed woman enters a room with no exit and a ready-made life; the disappearance of people, objects, and memory creates an apocalypse; the art of dance is used to try to tame a feral child; the key to surviving a house-party lies in knowing the difference between fake and real blood.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Elegant, surprising, wondrous, and haunting, ＜em＞Intimations＜/em＞ is an utterly transporting collection from one of our most ingenious and brilliant young writers.＜/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。
