‘Een boeiende geschiedenis over de angst van grote denkers en schrijvers voor de aftakeling van Europa.’ **** Trouw

De negentiende eeuw was een tijd van vernieuwing en vooruitgang, maar had ook een zwaarmoedige kant. Een Europa van de dageraad en een Europa van de schemering bestaan naast elkaar. Het heldere morgenlicht behoort de doeners en de bouwers toe, die het continent in hoog tempo vullen met industriecomplexen, metropolen en snelle treinen. In de avondschemer leven de melancholici, de dromers en de twijfelaars. Zij vatten het bestaan niet praktisch op, maar esthetisch. Hier treffen we de denkers, schrijvers en kunstenaars aan die geloven dat de ‘echte’ cultuur door de banale burgerlijke moderniteit verloren gaat. Hun horizon is vervaagd, uitgeveegd in een ‘alledaagse’ beschaving die geen metafysische richting meer geeft.

De uitgewiste horizon is een indrukwekkende tocht door het fin de siècle die begint bij de elegante burgerwereld van Thomas Manns De Buddenbrooks, over een welvarende familie die in de ban raakt van een twijfel aan het bestaan die haar verval inluidt. Onderweg zien we hoe zich een obsessie met cultureel en psychisch verval aftekent in het werk van onder anderen Baudelaire, Tsjechov, Wagner, Nietzsche, Ibsen, Kierkegaard, Flaubert, Freud, Toergenjev en Dostojevski. Kan de moderne Europese mens, die dan heerst over een groot deel van de aarde, het product zijn van een cultuur in ontbinding?

Cor Hermans (1953) is historicus. Hij publiceerde eerder over Charles Darwin, John Stuart Mill en de moderne literatuur in het interbellum. Zijn onderzoek richt zich op de moderne Europese ideeëngeschiedenis en in het bijzonder op de interactie van filosofie, literatuur en historische ontwikkeling.

Epic!!!!
Format: Kindle
Absolutely addicted from the first page. The twists and turns, world building and character development all come together for the perfect Omegaverse. And let's not forget that spice because knots are life and these are spectacular. Running for book #2 because that cliffhanger was torturous.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.
