Produktinformationen zu „Confessions Of An English Opium-Eater (ePub)“

Nightmares, confessions, hallucinations, and laudanum-induced fears-Thomas De Quincey's Confessions of an English Opium-Eater remains an influential autobiography studied by psychologists, addiction specialists, historians and sociologists alike. Published in 1821, De Quincey's debut work on his own addiction and the effects of drugs on creativity set a unique tone for modern literature.

Revealing the power of the subconscious and freedom of artistic self-expression, De Quincey shares the pleasures of opium, along with the struggles of addiction and the ability of the human imagination. Confessions of an English Opium-Eater's overwhelming success influenced writers such as Charles Baudelaire, Edgar Allan Poe and William S. Burroughs.

Autoren-Porträt von Thomas de Quincey

Despite being born into a wealthy family, Thomas De Quincey had a difficult childhood. He was forced to move quite often, and his father passed away when he was only eight years old. He attended several prestigious schools before running away when he was seventeen, returning home several months later. De Quincy studied at Oxford University for a short while, but he soon became addicted to opium, and dropped out in 1807; he would suffer from this addiction for the rest of his life. In 1821, De Quincey's struggles inspired him to write Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, which was published in London Magazine and served as a professional breakthrough for him. After his wife passed away in 1837, De Quincey's addiction became dramatically worse and his finances suffered as a result. He managed to write several more books, including a second memoir, Suspiria de Profundis, before passing away in 1859.
