Meanwhile, in a minor key, unfolds a story of life and death with hallucinatory visions from Thomas De Quincey's famous piece 'The English Mail-Coach, or the Glory of Motion'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBritish Romanticism, American Modernism, and what the author calls Contemporary Globalism come together in this short novel to offer a distinctive vision of the last four decades. But the story is as much of the past as of the present and takes one right to the edge of a near dystopian and speculative futurity. One could, if one wished to, draw parallels here between the end of the Roaring Twenties and the beginning of the Great Depression, and the nightmarish reality into which the book empties itself out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 09, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47266615656697,"sku":"9798888389867","price":48.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Bgk1Zyt1U69798888389867.webp?v=1768852268","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/bliss-mountain-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
