Just how bare that minimum can be has become clear in the last five years, during which the cost of a «fine fragrance» formulation has gone down by half and the quality by nine tenths. The big six perfumery firms are aromachemicals manufacturers, and it is in their interest to keep naturals, with their attendant problems of price and quality fluctuations, to a bare minimum. This happened at a time when this wonderful-smelling stuff has almost disappeared from the mainstream. They carry aromatherapy oils, so people have had access to a wide range of plant extracts previously accessible only to perfumers. Where’s the natural stuff ? In health stores, next to the rock-salt lamps. Normal is what you find everywhere niche is what you hope others won’t find vintage is what you find only if you know what to look for. There are now officially four kinds of perfumery: normal, niche, vintage and natural. NZZ Folio 4/06 Duftnote Natural Perfumery

If you're looking for a fantasy with the beauty of the Princess and The Goblin, with that fairytale quality to it, try something by Patricia McKillip instead of this "sequel." Read more (Servants have a duty to serve honestly, a good child should have nothing to keep from his parents, drinking is bad (except if you're a king then it is wholesome), sophistication is bad, rustic naiivete is good, poverty is a privilege (!!!!). His worldview is naively idealistic, verging on offensively classist. It's unbelievably preachy - and most modern readers will find MacDonald's ideas rather peculiar. From page one to the end, the characters (there is nothing in particular to identify them with the characters of The Princess & the Goblin save for the names) walk through their roles woodenly in order to illustrate MacDonald's religious and social beliefs. Such is not the case with The Princess and Curdie. I suppose one can read religious allegory into the story if one tries (and the same goes for the poignancy of The Light Princess), but in those cases the message never got in the way of the story.

Snowden was born six years before this event, to the day. In many ways, June 21, 1989, was the day he became what he will forever be known as: a hacker. When he awoke, the clocks in the house once again matched his father’s watch. When his parents failed to notice, he felt overwhelmed with power and a sense of freedom, and began “galloping laps around the living room.” Soon after sunset, however, he fell asleep on the floor from exhaustion. He had rebelled many nights before about having to go to bed even when not tired enough to fall asleep, but this time he was determined to do something about it. On June 21, 1989, Edward Snowden covertly reset all the clocks in his house by several hours. Get ready to learn more about him, his background and his motivations for the leaking of highly classified documents from the National Security Agency in 2013 – an event that revealed global surveillance programs and launched a thousand debates about authoritarianism, democracy, and privacy!

However, to reduce this book to an ethnographic document or mere monograph of sexual identity would be a mistake. Not only are we given a clear window onto the state of queerness in Morocco, but we are also offered soulful insights into the ambiguous exchange of identity and desire between Arabic cultures and Western Europe. In first person, the narrator Abdellah recounts tales of his childhood in Salé, his adolescent adventures in Tangiers, his wanderings as an adult in Marrakech and Rabat, and his studies and travails in Geneva, as well as his dreams of moving to Paris (where the author is now based). Openly autobiographical, it tells the story of Taïa’s coming into being as a gay man in Morocco. Salvation Army is Taïa’s third novel, the first to be translated into English from the French, in a fluid translation by Frank Stock. Abdellah Taïa’s Salvation Army is one such book.
