Beskrivelse af The Confessions of an English Opium Eater
The Confessions of an English Opium Eater is a memoir written by Thomas De Quincey, first published in 1821. It is an account of De Quincey's addiction to opium, which he began taking as a painkiller for toothache and continued to use for over 20 years. The book is divided into two parts: the first part describes De Quincey's experiences with opium and the effects it had on his mind and body, while the second part focuses on his intellectual and literary pursuits. De Quincey's writing style is highly introspective and philosophical, and he uses his addiction as a means of exploring deeper questions about human nature and the nature of addiction itself. He also provides vivid descriptions of the hallucinations and dreams he experienced while under the influence of opium, which are often surreal and fantastical. The Confessions of an English Opium Eater is considered a landmark work in the history of addiction literature, and has had a significant influence on subsequent writers and thinkers. It is also notable for its contribution to the Romantic literary movement, with its emphasis on individualism, introspection, and the power of imagination.This is a new release of the original 1928 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
