紀元２世紀末、400年近く続いた漢王朝は、まさに滅びようとしていた。そんな後漢末期に、中国の広大な大地を舞台に群雄割拠の中から頭角をあらわした蜀・魏・呉の三国が覇権を争う壮大な歴史大河小説が、小学生から楽しめる物語に！

長安に都を移した董卓は、献帝を古い宮殿に閉じ込めると、悪行のかぎりを尽くし、その横暴な激しさを増していった。諸侯の反発は強まるが、董卓には中国一の猛将・呂布がついているため、誰も逆らえない。

呂布を倒し、その勢力を不動のものとした曹操。しかし献帝をお飾りの皇帝として利用する曹操に、漢王朝再建を願う劉備は反旗をひるがえす。現状に不満をもつ献帝自身も、曹操を討てとの密詔を決死の覚悟で忠臣・董承に託す。

荊州に身を寄せた劉備は三顧の礼で臥竜と呼ばれる軍師・諸葛亮を得る。着々と南征の準備を進める曹操が、荊州と劉備に襲いかかる！

漢王朝の皇帝・献帝を意のままにし、荊州をも吸収した曹操。江東の孫権が降伏さえすれば曹操による統一は目前に迫っているかに見えた。だが劉備たちは、曹操を倒し献帝を救い出して漢王朝を復活させることを諦めてはいない。

孫権と曹操が手を組み南北から荊州を攻めてくるとの知らせに、荊州を守る関羽は曹操軍の拠点・樊城に先制攻撃をしかける。曹操軍の南への侵攻をさまたげる関羽の作戦は順調にみえた。

周瑜と諸葛亮、天才軍師二人の活躍により、赤壁の戦いに勝利した孫権、劉備の同盟軍。しかし曹操を撃退するや、両軍は荊州の覇権争いに突入する。かたや大敗を喫した曹操は南への侵攻を一時あきらめ、かつて献帝の忠臣とともに曹操暗殺計画に加担していた涼州の馬騰に謀略を仕掛ける。

天下三分の計を果たすため益州に攻め込む劉備の前に、馬超が猛然と立ち塞がる。曹操に涼州を奪われた馬超は、漢中の張魯に救われ、配下となっていた。馬超主従を翻弄し、荊州をまとめつつある劉備を警戒する曹操は、先に漢中を奪おうと進軍する。

亡き主君・劉備の願いであった漢王朝復興のため、魏を倒すべく北伐を決行した諸葛亮。しかし幾度となく司馬懿にはばまれ、無念のうちに五丈原の陣中で息をひきとる。天才軍師に後を託された愛弟子の姜維は、全軍をひきいて成都への無事帰還をめざす。

This is the incredible story of the world's greatest conqueror, a man who single handedly changed the course of history...and who was worshipped as a god. There have been many attempts in the 2,300 years since Alexander's death to tell the epic story of this enigmatic soldier. His deeds read like the stuff of legends. Of all the chroniclers of Alexander, and there have been many famous ones, including Plutarch and Ptolemy, none have given us a clearer and truer account than the one by Arrian.

Punching Bag is the compelling true story of a high school career defined by poverty and punctuated by outbreaks of domestic abuse. Rex Ogle, who brilliantly mapped his experience of hunger in Free Lunch, here describes his struggle to survive; reflects on his complex, often paradoxical relationship with his passionate, fierce mother; and charts the trajectory of his stepdad’s anger. Hovering over Rex’s story is the talismanic presence of his unborn baby sister.

One hot summer afternoon, Rex Ogle’s sexuality is found out and his father gives him an ultimatum: you can be gay, or you can live here, but not both—and you have twenty-four hours to decide. Rex desperately hopes for a reprieve that doesn’t come, and the following day, he leaves. With no place to go, he drives to New Orleans, where he has the phone number of a man he met briefly and kissed once.

As of the time of the writing of this book, Moses Horne is a 15-year-old elite athlete who can talk directly about the triumphs and struggles of working toward being mentally tough. This is the only book that I know of with input from an actual young athlete.

Nic Sheff was drunk for the first time at age 11. In the years that followed, he would regularly smoke pot, do cocaine and ecstasy, and develop addictions to crystal meth and heroin. Even so, he felt like he would always be able to quit and put his life together whenever he needed to. It took a violent relapse one summer in California to convince him otherwise.
