The Peanut Factory

Deborah Price

A coming-of-age memoir about a young woman and her friends squatting in abandoned houses in London in the late 70s during the emerging counterculture scene.
Set in South London (Crystal Palace), Deborah mingled with some of the biggest names to emerge from the scene. She booked The Damned's first show, served pints to Johnny Rotten, and attended a backyard gig from King Kurt.
Squat life was sex, drugs and punk rock but it wasn't all fun and games. The Peanut Factory shows Deborah navigating a male-dominated scene, moving every few months and living with drug dealers, sex workers, people on the run, and working-class kids like her.
Despite the chaos, the squatters were a family. They were kids creating their own rules. Making art. Living life on the fly. The Peanut Factory is an ode to the youthful rebellion of the 1970s and to London itself.
'A window into a time of raw energy and rough edges, Deb Price paints a vivid picture of life in the squats of South London. By turns amusing and alarming, but always engaging, we accompany a teenager as she navigates her way to womanhood in a sub-culture on the margins.' - Allie Rogers, author of Little Gold and Tale of a Tooth

The Case Of Wagner Nietzsche...

Friedrich Nietzsche

What happens when a philosopher declares war on an artist who once inspired him?
In this provocative collection, Friedrich Nietzsche - iconoclast, poet of ideas, and architect of modern existentialism - turns his formidable intellect against Richard Wagner, the composer he once revered. The result is a searing psychological and aesthetic autopsy of genius, decadence, and the struggle between art and truth.
Nietzsche’s voice echoes through the ages in The Case of Wagner, a charged and theatrical critique of Wagner’s music, values, and legacy. In Nietzsche Contra Wagner, he deepens the attack, dissecting the moral, cultural, and personal tensions between their divergent paths. The Selected Aphorisms that follow offer piercing reflections on music, morality, truth, and the human spirit—each a spark in Nietzsche’s incendiary philosophy.
Written in his unmistakable style - ironic, lyrical, ruthless—these texts mark the culmination of a fractured friendship and the birth of a new philosophical vision. They embody the turmoil of a thinker who challenged the foundations of Western culture, and whose ideas continue to resonate in debates on art, identity, and modernity.
Now brought to life in a clear, refined AI narration, this audiobook offers a crisp and immersive experience - faithful to the cadence and clarity Nietzsche’s work demands. Whether you are a longtime admirer or a curious newcomer, this journey into Nietzsche’s thought will provoke, challenge, and awaken.
Enter the mind of one of history’s most fearless thinkers - press play, and confront the beautiful chaos within.
