📖✔️ "Gardens and Streets" | "Gardens and Roads"
(🇩🇪 "Gärten und Straßen")
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)."

📖✔️ "Steppenwolf"
Author: Hermann Hesse
Countries: Switzerland 🇨🇭, Germany (Weimar Republic) 🇩🇪
Publication date: 1927
Genres: fiction, novel, philosophy, psychology, existentialism
Denoscription on Goodreads:
Steppenwolf is a poetical self-portrait of a man who felt himself to be half-human and half-wolf. This Faust-like and magical story is evidence of Hesse's searching philosophy and extraordinary sense of humanity as he tells of the humanization of a middle-aged misanthrope. Yet his novel can also be seen as a plea for rigorous self-examination and an indictment of the intellectual hypocrisy of the period. As Hesse himself remarked, "Of all my books Steppenwolf is the one that was more often and more violently misunderstood than any of the others".

🎵💿 Nirvana - In Utero
Released: September 21, 1993
Label: DGC
Genres: grunge, alternative rock, noise rock
Denoscription on AllMusic:
"Nirvana probably hired Steve Albini to produce In Utero with the hopes of creating their own Surfer Rosa, or at least shoring up their indie cred after becoming a pop phenomenon with a glossy punk record. In Utero, of course, turned out to be their last record, and it's hard not to hear it as Kurt Cobain's suicide note, since Albini's stark, uncompromising sound provides the perfect setting for Cobain's bleak, even nihilistic, lyrics. Even if the album wasn't a literal suicide note, it was certainly a conscious attempt to shed their audience - an attempt that worked, by the way, since the record had lost its momentum when Cobain died in the spring of 1994. Even though the band tempered some of Albini's extreme tactics in a remix, the record remains a deliberately alienating experience, front-loaded with many of its strongest songs, then descending into a series of brief, dissonant squalls before concluding with "All Apologies," which only gets sadder with each passing year. Throughout it all, Cobain's songwriting is typically haunting, and its best moments rank among his finest work, but the over-amped dynamicism of the recording seems like a way to camouflage his dispiritedness - as does the fact that he consigned such great songs as "Verse Chorus Verse" and "I Hate Myself and Want to Die" to compilations, when they would have fit, even illuminated the themes of In Utero. Even without those songs, In Utero remains a shattering listen, whether it's viewed as Cobain's farewell letter or self-styled audience alienation. Few other records are as willfully difficult as this."

📖✔️ "Journey to the End of the Night"
(🇫🇷 "Voyage au bout de la nuit")
Author: Louis-Ferdinand Céline
Country: France 🇫🇷
Publication date: 1932
Genre: semi-autobiographical novel
Denoscription on Goodreads:
"Louis-Ferdinand Celine's revulsion and anger at what he considered the idiocy and hypocrisy of society explodes from nearly every page of this novel. Filled with slang and obscenities and written in raw, colloquial language, Journey to the End of the Night is a literary symphony of violence, cruelty and obscene nihilism. This book shocked most critics when it was first published in France in 1932, but quickly became a success with the reading public in Europe, and later in America where it was first published by New Directions in 1952. The story of the improbable yet convincingly described travels of the petit-bourgeois (and largely autobiographical) antihero, Bardamu, from the trenches of World War I, to the African jungle, to New York and Detroit, and finally to life as a failed doctor in Paris, takes the readers by the scruff and hurtles them toward the novel's inevitable, sad conclusion."

🎵💿 Ocoeur - Nouveau Départ
Released: October 6, 2023
Label: n5MD
Genres: ambient, electroacoustic, neoclassical, IDM
Denoscription on deejay.de:
Nouveau Départ is the eighth album from Bordeaux-based composer Franck Zaragoza and his electronically focused Ocoeur eponym.
Zaragoza's recent Ocoeur collections have focused on personal introspection as a solid thematic basis, and Nouveau Départ continues an arch that began with 2021's Connection. In recent years, Zaragoza began practicing attentive mindfulness, consciously focusing on his connection with the world, believing that happiness is attainable in the moment and not something that is only fleetingly tangible in the future. Zaragoza comments, "We can all transform our emotions from anger and sadness to happiness and compassion. Such a transformation in thought can profoundly affect the people around us. Nouveau Départ was composed in the spirit of love, empathy, and deep understanding."
Nouveau Départ is an aural representation of this kind of mindfulness and could be viewed as a soundtrack to foster feelings of humanity and thoughtfulness for those around us. Beginning such consideration is the start of a journey, and Nouveau Départ is a great companion for such passage.

Publication date: 1970
Genres: nonfiction, essay, culturology, philosophy, memoir
Denoscription on Amazon:
"In Approaches: Drugs and Altered States, Ernst Jünger describes his experiences with drugs over the course of his life, ranging from youthful drinking sprees, through experiments with hashish and morphine, to more powerful psychotropic substances like mescaline, peyote, and LSD. Combining elements of memoir and critical reflection on the history of mind-altering substances in society, Approaches attests to Jünger’s belief that drugs can facilitate a deeper spiritual journey into dimensions of human existence that have been eclipsed by the ambient noise of modern life."

"A country you don't hear about in the news, where [people] work four hours a day, eat rotten fish, and are depressed. And Carlson and Greta Thunberg live there. All this is about Sweden; of course, there is not much truth in these words.
Historian Yuliia Yurchuk, who has been living in Sweden for over ten years, will explain in her book what actually makes Swedish life Swedish. She will talk about the housing search (yes, for this, you have to stand in lines) and Swedish design, feminism, fathers on maternity leave, and trust in the state, as well as about lagom and why Swedes love committees so much.
Why is a simple "hello" so difficult for a Swede? Where to buy flower pots in the design of the prince? How do you celebrate Midsummer and Nobel Week, and why does Christmas morning start with oatmeal and Scrooge cartoons? You and I will live a whole year in Sweden, eat cinnamon buns, dance on the solstice day, and find out what Swedish life is like in practice."
