Description Concering Books Novel with Cocaine

A Dostoevskian psychological novel of ideas, Novel with Cocaine explores the interaction between psychology, philosophy, and ideology in its frank portrayal of an adolescent's cocaine addiction. The story relates the formative experiences of Vadim at school and with women before he turns to drug abuse and the philosophical reflections to which it gives rise. Although Ageyev makes little explicit reference to the Revolution, the novel's obsession with addictive forms of thinking finds resonance in the historical background, in which "our inborn feelings of humanity and justice" provoke "the cruelties and satanic transgressions committed in its name.

Assessment Containing Books Novel with Cocaine

read this while binging upon my stimulis, extreme paranoia on my end.

I dont recall ever despising a protagonist (if he can be called that!) so much. Practically void of human emotion, he treats all women, including his own mother, like objects without value. The author truly gave us what the introduction calls an anti-hero.The first two-thirds of the novel felt like a typical coming-of-age novel, and it wasnt until the last third that cocaine finally made an appearance. We see his introduction to the drug and his experiences with addiction. I wont spoil the

I suspect there's good reason why little is known of Russian author Marc Levi who used M. Ageyev as a nom-de-plume - he wanted it that way. Novel with Cocaine (alternate title: A Romance with Cocaine), his one and only novel, was originally published in 1934, a tale about an alienated, insecure young man by the name of Vadim Maslennikov living in Moscow during the country's tumultuous early years of the 20th century. The novel is comprised of four parts: the first two are Vadim's recounting his

Soundtrack: Baths - Maximalist Spent two days a week shoving rather pricey quantities of oft-jagged euphoria up their snout, the nearest conduit to the terrible/beautiful master, the hub of experience, the center of narrative gravity, all transformed into a polis of sheer pleasure, pumping its flood 'round itself, the radiant, briefly blinding, photoflashbursts of a crackling and snapping electrical whitehotheat trumpeted its silent blaring in one set of ears alone. The clearblue afternoon

Vadim Maslennikov watches himself behave despicably, peering over his own shoulder in wonder at the bestial depths to which he regularly and inexorably sinks. His shame, in turn, fuels ever more shameless acts. Shamelessness, he tells us, is a misleading word, the principal and most passionate trait of human depravity lying in the violation of shame, not in its absence. Vadim seeks a purity of debasement and depravity, not assailed by compassion. Thus his attempt to revel in the ruination of the

One of the many awesome things about city living is the way we dispose of our belongings once weve decided we no longer want them; we put them out on the street for our neighbors to sift through. One persons trash really can end up as anothers treasure. Intrigued by the title, I picked up Novel with Cocaine on the sidewalk. So whats in a name? A story of a misogynistic protagonist with no redeemable qualities about himself whatsoever. I waited to get pulled into the story, but instead found
