Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In the old city, desire is a discipline.Quebec City rises from the frozen St. Lawrence like a fever dream - its stone ramparts, its Gothic spires, its streets that remember everything. In its haute-ville, in a shuttered townhouse with heavy curtains and a brass door knocker, a woman named Magritte receives her clients.She is not a therapist, nor a confessor, but something older and more precise.Gothic Submission is a novel of vignettes - intimate, unhurried, and pitilessly observant - tracing the lives of the men and women who find their way to Magritte's door. A structural engineer who has built bridges across three provinces but cannot bear the weight of his own authority. A retired diplomat accustomed to negotiating at the highest levels, who discovers, late in life, what he has never dared to want. A literature professor at Universite Laval who writes on transgression but has never lived inside it. A young musicologist on the eve of his departure for Amsterdam, whose sessions with Magritte become a private education in surrender.Magritte herself moves through these lives with the cool attention of a sculptor. She does not perform. She does not comfort. What she offers - and it is offered, never imposed - is a specific form of clarity: the revelation that becomes possible only when control is relinquished, when the architectures we build around ourselves are, by mutual and exquisitely negotiated consent, taken apart.Written in the tradition of Pauline Reage and Angela Carter - rigorous, psychological, and unapologetically sensual - Gothic Submission refuses the easy registers of transgression. There is no shock here for its own sake. There is instead something rarer: a sustained inquiry into power, desire, and the strange freedoms that can open up inside absolute constraint. These vignettes are chamber pieces. What happens in them is explicit. What they are about goes much further.The city is always present - the Plains of Abraham under winter fog, the Carnival crowds, the deep cold that settles over the Chateau Frontenac in January - as both setting and correlative. Quebec City, like Magritte, keeps its secrets elegantly. It has been many things across its long history. It knows how to hold a silence.This is literary fiction for readers who understand that eroticism, at its most serious, is an epistemology - a way of knowing that the daylit world forecloses. In a frozen, historic city, a mysterious woman guides various souls through the ritual of surrender, exploring the profound truths revealed when the structures of control are dismantled through eroticism and negotiated desire.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. What if the most important philosopher of individual self-overcoming was also, in a significant sense, a philosopher of anarchism?The question sounds provocative-even perverse. Friedrich Nietzsche has long been associated with the political right: the irrationalist herald of fascism, the elitist scorner of democratic masses, the thinker whose legacy was poisoned by his sister's collaboration with the Nazi regime. Yet the historical record tells a different story. Emma Goldman quoted him in her lectures and wove his categories through her entire political vision. Russian radicals engaged his work with desperate intensity as they tried to understand what the Bolshevik revolution was betraying. Murray Bookchin's social ecology vibrates at Nietzschean frequencies he himself rarely acknowledged. David Graeber's anthropology of debt and refusal circles the same territory that Nietzsche mapped in the Genealogy of Morals. And the Black Bloc that made global headlines in Seattle in 1999 enacted something recognizable as a Dionysian political moment-a collective dissolution of the boundaries of legitimate protest in the name of active, creative refusal.THE WILL TO FREEDOM traces this unexpected alliance across more than a century of radical thought. Drawing on Seth Taylor's landmark recovery of the left-wing Nietzsche vogue in German Expressionism, and extending that analysis to the Anglo-American and Russian anarchist traditions, Sean O'Connell argues that the encounter between Nietzsche and anarchism was not a misreading or an embarrassment but a genuine philosophical encounter between two bodies of thought that had more in common than either has wanted to acknowledge.Both Nietzsche and the anarchist tradition offer sustained critiques of state power as inherently corrupting. Both develop analyses of how domination operates at the psychological level-through the internalization of values that serve the powerful. Both insist on the importance of active, creative force over reactive resentment. And both refuse to reduce the question of liberation to the seizure of political or economic power, insisting instead on the transformation of the human beings who are to inhabit whatever comes after.The incompatibilities are real and honestly confronted here: Nietzsche's elitism, his contempt for democratic politics, his hierarchical ordering of human types all sit uneasily with anarchism's commitment to mutual aid and collective liberation. What the anarchist tradition did with Nietzsche-what Goldman and Bookchin and Graeber did, knowingly or not-was to democratize his most powerful insights: to insist that the capacity for creative self-overcoming belongs not to the exceptional few but to everyone, and that the task of radical politics is to dismantle the structures that suppress it.A work of intellectual history and political philosophy in the tradition of Daniel Guerin, Howard Zinn, and Matthew Adams, THE WILL TO FREEDOM is essential reading for anyone interested in the philosophical roots of anarchism, the political legacy of Nietzsche, and the ongoing question of what genuine human liberation might actually require. This provocative study reclaims Friedrich Nietzsche, a misunderstood icon, revealing how his philosophy of radical self-transformation provides a hidden basis for the struggle against unjust authority and the pursuit of true liberation.
