タイトル: The Eleventh Hour 著者: Salman Rushdie 出版社: Random House Trade Paperbacks 出版日: 2026年08月04日 新しい本 新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From internationally renowned, award-winning author Salman Rushdie, a spellbinding exploration of life, death, and what comes into focus at the proverbial eleventh hour of life "An inventive and engrossing collection of stories which, though death-tinged, are never doom-laden. With luck this master writer has more tales to tell."--Los Angeles Times A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Rushdie turns his extraordinary imagination to life's final act with a quintet of stories that span the three countries in which he has made his work--India, England, and America--and feature an unforgettable cast of characters. "In the South" introduces a pair of quarrelsome old men--Junior and Senior--and their private tragedy at a moment of national calamity. In "The Musician of Kahani," a musical prodigy from the Mumbai neighborhood featured in Midnight's Children uses her magical gifts to wreak devastation on the wealthy family she marries into. In "Late," the ghost of a Cambridge don enlists the help of a lonely student to enact revenge upon the tormentor of his lifetime. "Oklahoma" plunges a young writer into a web of deceit and lies as he tries to figure out whether his mentor killed himself or faked his own death. And "The Old Man in the Piazza" is a powerful parable for our times about freedom of speech. Do we accommodate ourselves to death, or rail against it? Do we spend our "eleventh hour" in serenity or in rage? And how do we achieve fulfillment with our lives if we don't know the end of our own stories? The Eleventh Hour ponders life and death, legacy and identity with the penetrating insight and boundless imagination that have made Salman Rushdie one of the most celebrated writers of our time. 当店利用時のご注意・当店の商品は原則として、「個人輸入」としての取り扱いになり、アメリカ合衆国から直接お客様のもとへお届けいたします。商品の配送手続きのために、アメリカ合衆国の事業者へお客様の注文情報が提供されます。注文情報の提供について同意いただいた上でご注文ください。アメリカ合衆国の個人情報保護法制等について確認する場合は、こちらのページ「https://corp.rakuten.co.jp/privacy/data-transfers.html」をご参照ください。・関税・輸入消費税が課税される場合があります。・課税額はご注文時には確定しておらず、通関時に確定しますので、商品の受け取り時に着払いでお支払いください。・個人輸入される商品は、全てご注文者自身の「個人使用・個人消費（日本に居住する者に寄贈される物で、当該寄贈を受ける者の個人的な使用に供される場合を含みます。）」が前提となります。第三者への譲渡・転売が法令で禁止されるもの（医薬品、医薬部外品、化粧品等を含みますが、これに限られません。）もございますのでご注意下さい。・商品お届けまでに、10日間程度かかります。商品仕様タイトルThe Eleventh Hour出版社Random House Trade Paperbacks紙書籍 / 電子書籍紙書籍著者Salman Rushdie発売年月日（テキスト）2026-08-04
