Descrizione

About The Book: "Confessions of an English Opium-Eater" (1821) is an autobiographical narrative penned by Thomas De Quincey, chronicling his struggles with laudanum addiction and its profound impact on his life. This confessional work marked De Quincey's debut and rapidly catapulted him to fame. Initially published anonymously in The London Magazine in September and October 1821, it later appeared as a book in 1822 and underwent a revised edition in 1856, supervised by De Quincey himself. The narrative unfolds the joys and tribulations of devotion to the 'Church of Opium,' vividly portraying surreal visions, nocturnal wanderings in London, and the nightmarish challenges of addiction.
