![]() ![]() He shows how rave music, though fundamentally “for dancing,” was also a collective autobiography, reflecting its drug-fueled community’s initial rush of optimistic bliss, slide into gloominess and paranoia, and eventual “debauched extremity.” Throughout it all, Reynolds remains devoted to the transcendent ideal of the audience as the star, symbiotically one with each other and the music. ![]() Splicing social history and critical theory with a personal conversion narrative, Reynolds tracks the mercurial development of house and techno back and forth across the Atlantic-through countless archipelagos of subgenres-with firm precision. ![]() With robust back matter including deep bibliographies and listening recommendations, it’s a comprehensive trial-by-fire for techno novices. Documentary evidence in the form of names, places, and dates accumulates with dizzying force. But it’s still 390 pages of close analysis, lively interviews, and epic descriptions of the reflexive textures of music and drugs. Generation Ecstasy is the abridged American version of Energy Flash, British critic Simon Reynolds’ definitive postmortem of ’90s rave culture. Generation Ecstasy: Into the World of Techno and Rave Culture by Simon Reynolds ![]() ![]() ![]() As Etienne never mentioned his daughter, they fail to realize Cendrillon’s true position in the household and treat her as another servant. The surprise arrival of Niccolo, a soldier from an enemy country, begins a series of unusual events, most importantly the appearance of Chantal de Saint-Andre and her two daughters, Amelie and Anastasia. Cendrillon longs for flowers to grow upon her mother’s lightning-struck grave, symbolizing forgiveness and peace. Raoul refuses to be content until he learns who his parents are and why they cast him away. Raoul and Cendrillon grow up together as best friends, though each of them holds onto a deep hurt from their troubled first weeks in the world. ![]() He returns home one final time to drop another baby, Raoul, into the care of Old Mathilde and then charges away on his horse. He despises her, for his wife died giving birth, and since it is such a lovely plot device that always seems to work, he blames the infant. Cendrillon has never met her father, Etienne de Brabant. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is among the evils of slavery that it taints the very sources of moral principle. They look down upon the simplicity of a Yankee’s manners, because he has no habit of overbearing like theirs and cannot treat negroes like dogs. ![]() They fancy themselves more generous and noble-hearted than the plain freemen who labor for subsistence. ![]() But when probed to the quick upon it, they show at the bottom of their souls pride and vainglory in their condition of masterdom. In the abstract, they admit that slavery is an evil, they disclaim all participation in the introduction of it, and cast it all upon the shoulders of our old Grandam Britain. The discussion of this Missouri question has betrayed the secret of their souls. “It is, in truth, all perverted sentiment-mistaking labor for slavery, and dominion for freedom. “I told Calhoun I could not see things in the same light.” And as he later reflected on the day’s discussion, he realized how thoroughly he disagreed with nearly everything Calhoun and the other Southerners said by way of defense of slavery. ![]() ![]() ![]() Klik op 'Cookies aanpassen' om deze cookies te weigeren, meer gedetailleerde keuzes te maken of voor meer informatie.

Olga Levy Drucker tells her story as seen through the eyes of young child. Kindertransport by Olga Levy Drucker, October 15, 1995, Henry Holt and Co. Most children (9,000) were never reunited with their parents, some were exceedingly fortunate to see their parents again. Most children were treated well, some were not.

I can sit in this house with no Internet, television, liquor, or girls, but I’ll come out of here with something far more frightening to my enemies. Their only mistake is believing anything I do is an accident. No one has ever looked at me any other way. I learned a long time ago that being treated like an animal gives you permission to act like one. Popular actually wanted a piece of that quiet, little nerd he loved to torture so much, but… He could also be warm. He might’ve enjoyed backing me into corners in high school when no one was looking, so they wouldn’t catch on that Mr. Not that the last time was entirely his fault. There was no way his grandfather was going to risk him humiliating the family again. ![]() Reckless, wild, and someone who was never bound by a single rule other than to do exactly what he wanted.

It was just a lot of words that didn't go together in a cohesive way. ![]() ![]() A lot of the phrases felt like they were from 2021 Twitter, which was also weird and pulled me out of the story even more. I did not know which characters were being addressed at certain times, and it felt like an overload. The neo-pronouns also were INCREDIBLY confusing when talking in the third person. So if you DO like those things, then this may be the book for you! To be frank, I don't think I fully understood what was going on the entire time because my brain could not fully comprehend every word on the page. I am not someone who likes prose or long-winded ways of trying to say what can be condensed into a few words. I did not realize how flowery the language of this book would be. I'm a sucker for a good sci-fi novel, especially one with an amazing female protagonist (which I assumed solely off the cover once I found out we were getting nonbinary representation, I was over the moon!). ![]() I did not request this book I was sent an ARC by the publisher just based on previous titles I had read, and the cover drew me in immediately. However, I do not think I am the target audience for this novel. ![]() |
