＜p＞＜strong＞“As erotic and powerful as the paintings that inspired it.”ーEmma Donoghue, author of ＜em＞Room＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Paris, 1927. In the heady years before the crash, financiers drape their mistresses in Chanel, while expatriates flock to the avant-garde bookshop Shakespeare and Company. One day in July, a young American named Rafaela Fano gets into the car of a coolly dazzling stranger, the Art Deco painter Tamara de Lempicka.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Struggling to halt a downward slide toward prostitution, Rafaela agrees to model for the artist, a dispossessed Saint Petersburg aristocrat with a murky past. The two become lovers, and Rafaela inspires Tamara's most iconic Jazz Age images, among them her most accomplished-and coveted-works of art. A season as the painter's muse teaches Rafaela some hard lessons: Tamara is a cocktail of raw hunger and glittering artifice. And all the while, their romantic idyll is threatened by history's darkening tide.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Inspired by real events in de Lempicka's history, ＜em＞The Last Nude＜/em＞ is a tour de force of historical imagination. Ellis Avery gives the reader a tantalizing window into a lost Paris, an age already vanishing as the inexorable forces of history close in on two tangled lives. Spellbinding and provocative, this is a novel about genius and craft, love and desire, regret and, most of all, hope that can transcend time and circumstance.＜/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＞Denys Finch Hatton was adored by women and idolized by men. A champion of Africa, legendary for his good looks, his charm, and his prowess as a soldier, lover, and hunter, Finch Hatton inspired Karen Blixen to write the unforgettable stories in ＜em＞Out of Africa＜/em＞. Now esteemed British biographer Sara Wheeler tells the truth about this extraordinarily charismatic adventurer.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Born to an old aristocratic family that had gambled away most of its fortune, Finch Hatton grew up in a world of effortless elegance and boundless power. Tall and graceful, with the soul of a poet and an athlete’s relaxed masculinity, he became a hero without trying at Eton and Oxford. In 1910, searching for novelty and danger, Finch Hatton arrived in British East Africa and fell in love?with a continent, with a landscape, with a way of life that was about to change forever.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Wheeler brilliantly conjures the mystical beauty of Kenya at a time when teeming herds of wild animals roamed unmolested across pristine savannah. No one was more deeply attuned to this beauty than Finch Hatton?and no one more bitterly mourned its passing when the outbreak of World War I engulfed the region in a protracted, bloody guerrilla conflict. Finch Hatton was serving as a captain in the Allied forces when he met Karen Blixen in Nairobi and embarked on one of the great love affairs of the twentieth century.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With delicacy and grace, Wheeler teases out truth from fiction in the liaison that Blixen herself immortalized in ＜em＞Out of Africa＜/em＞. Intellectual equals, bound by their love for the continent and their inimitable sense of style, Finch Hatton and Blixen were genuine pioneers in a land that was quickly being transformed by violence, greed, and bigotry.＜br /＞ Ever restless, Finch Hatton wandered into a career as a big-game hunter and became an expert bush pilot; his passion that led to his affair with the notoriously unconventional aviatrix Beryl Markham. But Markham was no more able to hold him than Blixen had been. Mesmerized all his life by the allure of freedom and danger, Finch Hatton was, writes Wheeler, “the open road made flesh.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞In painting a portrait of an irresistible man, Sara Wheeler has beautifully captured the heady glamour of the vanished paradise of colonial East Africa. In ＜em＞Too Close to the Sun＜/em＞ she has crafted a book that is as ravishing as its subject.＜/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＞Thrilling, heartbreaking, and, at times, absurdly funny, ＜em＞The Last Resort＜/em＞ is a remarkable true story about one family in a country under siege and a testament to the love, perseverance, and resilience of the human spirit.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Douglas Rogers is the son of white farmers living through that country’s long and tense transition from postcolonial rule. He escaped the dull future mapped out for him by his parents for one of adventure and excitement in Europe and the United States. But when Zimbabwe’s president Robert Mugabe launched his violent program to reclaim white-owned land and Rogers’s parents were caught in the cross fire, everything changed. Lyn and Ros, the owners of Drifters?a famous game farm and backpacker lodge in the eastern mountains that was one of the most popular budget resorts in the country?found their home and resort under siege, their friends and neighbors expelled, and their lives in danger. But instead of leaving, as their son pleads with them to do, they haul out a shotgun and decide to stay.＜/p＞ ＜p＞On returning to the country of his birth, Rogers finds his once orderly and progressive home transformed into something resembling a Marx Brothers romp crossed with ＜em＞Heart of Darkness＜/em＞: pot has supplanted maize in the fields; hookers have replaced college kids as guests; and soldiers, spies, and teenage diamond dealers guzzle beer at the bar.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And yet, in spite of it all, Rogers’s parents?with the help of friends, farmworkers, lodge guests, and residents?among them black political dissidents and white refugee farmers?continue to hold on. But can they survive to the end?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the midst of a nation stuck between its stubborn past and an impatient future, Rogers soon begins to see his parents in a new light: unbowed, with passions and purpose renewed, even heroic. And, in the process, he learns that the "big story" he had relentlessly pursued his entire adult life as a roving journalist and travel writer was actually happening in his own backyard.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Evoking elements of ＜em＞The Tender Bar＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Absurdistan, The Last Resort＜/em＞ is an inspiring, coming-of-age tale about home, love, hope, responsibility, and redemption.
