📖✔️ "Life Is Elsewhere"
(🇨🇿 "Život je jinde" | 🇫🇷 "La vie est ailleurs")
Author: Milan Kundera
Countries: Czechoslovakia 🇨🇿, France 🇫🇷
Publication date: 1973
Genres: fiction, novel, satire, philosophy ...
Denoscription on Goodreads:
"Kundera initially intended to call this novel The Lyrical Age. The lyrical age, according to Kundera, is youth, and this novel, above all, is an epic of adolescence; an ironic epic that tenderly erodes sacrosanct values: childhood, motherhood, revolution, and even poetry. Jaromil is in fact a poet. His mother made him a poet and accompanies him (figuratively) to his love bed, and (literally) to his deathbed. A ridiculous and touching character, horrifying and totally innocent ("innocence with its bloody smile"!), Jaromil is at the same time a true poet. He's no creep, he's Rimbaud. Rimbaud entrapped by the communist revolution, entrapped in a sombre farce."

📖✔️ "The Farewell Waltz" | "The Farewell Party"
(🇨🇿 "Valčík na rozloučenou")
Author: Milan Kundera
Country: Czechoslovakia 🇨🇿
Publication date: 1972
Genres: fiction, novel
Denoscription on Goodreads:
"Klima, a celebrated jazz trumpeter, receives a phone call announcing that a young nurse with whom he spent a brief night at a fertility spa is pregnant. She has decided he is the father.
And so begins a comedy in which, during five madcap days, events unfold with ever-increasing speed. Klima's beautiful, jealous wife; the nurse's equally jealous boyfriend; a fanatical gynecologist; a rich American, at once Don Juan and saint; and an elderly political prisoner who, just before his emigration, is holding a farewell party at the spa, are all drawn into this black comedy, as in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
As usual, Milan Kundera poses serious questions with a blasphemous lightness which makes us understand that the modern world has taken away our right to tragedy."

🎵💿 Aphex Twin - Blackbox Life Recorder 21f / In a Room7 F760 (EP)
Released: July 28, 2023
Label: Warp
Genres: electronic, IDM, acid, techno
Denoscription on AllMusic:
"After releasing the splendid Collapse EP in 2018, Aphex Twin collaborated with synthesizer company Novation on a monosynth called AFX Station, and issued a few limited-edition EPs at some of his festival appearances. Blackbox Life Recorder 21f / in a room7 F760 is his first proper release of new material in five years, and while it felt like the veteran musician was pushing his sound forward on Collapse, here he's essentially in his comfort zone. "Blackbox Life Recorder 21f," the brief EP's first and longest track, starts out with twitchy beats, mellow synth chords, and soft melodies that sound like a sampled human voice; eventually, chunky breakbeats ricochet across the soundscape. Several different breaks pile up, and just as it feels like it's on the verge of overload, the beats pause for a moment in order to refresh, then smoothly return. Second track "zin2 test5" sets an elastic bassline and intricate beat patterns against soft streams of synth pads. If any element of the track was subtracted, it would sound too simple or underdeveloped, but it all fits together perfectly. Racing drums lead the charge on "in a room7 F760," which has a slight '80s action vibe in the beginning, until the synths become more fragmented and the drums are briefly whittled down to sharp, clanging edges, momentarily recalling the abrasive drill'n'bass style of late-'90s Aphex. "Blackbox Life Recorder 22 Parallax Mix" is a less melodic variation on the first track, also lacking its sense of balance. The EP isn't a game changer, but it bears enough of Aphex Twin's unmistakable personality to be worthwhile."

Author: Ernst Jünger
Country: Germany
Written: April 1939 - July 1940
Publication date: 1942
Genres: nonfiction, diary, biography, history, war
Denoscription on Goodreads:
"Ernst Jünger was a decorated German soldier and author who became famous for his World War I memoir Storm of Steel. The son of a successful businessman and chemist, Jünger rebelled against an affluent upbringing and sought adventure in the Wandervogel, before running away to briefly serve in the French Foreign Legion, an illegal act. Because he escaped prosecution in Germany due to his father's efforts, Junger was able to enlist on the outbreak of war. A fearless leader who admired bravery above all else, he enthusiastically participated in actions in which his units were sometimes virtually annihilated. During an ill-fated German offensive in 1918 Junger's WW1 career ended with the last and most serious of his many woundings, and he was awarded the Pour le Mérite, a rare decoration for one of his rank.
Junger served in World War II as captain in the German Army. Assigned to an administrative position in Paris, he socialized with prominent artists of the day such as Picasso and Jean Cocteau. His early time in France is described in his diary Gärten und Straßen (Gardens and Streets)."
