Krátky popis
Explosive and unforgiving, Confessions of an English Opium-Eater
describes in searing detail the pleasure, pain and mind-expanding
powers of opium. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a
series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with
gold-foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make
perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.This edition is
introduced by biographer, critic and academic Dr Frances Wilson.
Thomas De Quincey takes us on a journey from his grammar school
childhood to his homeless adolescence in Wales, from befriending
prostitutes during his nocturnal wanderings in London to enrolling
at Oxford University only to drop out when his drug use overcomes
him. Thrust into a disorientating world of extreme euphoria and
vivid nightmares, De Quincey's life story is both unpredictable and
deeply personal.Confessions of an English Opium-Eater is considered
to be the first published autobiography to explore the lure and
effects of addiction.
