Penguin, London. 4th paperback printing. Condition: Near fine, very light edge and corner wear, price sticker on rear cover.Confessions is a remarkable account of the pleasures and pains of worshipping at the 'Church of Opium'. Thomas De Quincey consumed daily large quantities of laudanum (at the time a legal painkiller), and this autobiography of addiction hauntingly describes his surreal visions and hallucinatory nocturnal wanderings through London, along with the nightmares, despair and paranoia to which he became prey. The result is a work in which the effects of drugs and the nature of dreams, memory and imagination are seamlessly interwoven, describing in intimate detail the mind-altering pleasures and pains unique to opium. Confessions of an English Opium-Eater forged a link between artistic self-expression and addiction, paving the way for later generations of literary addicts from Baudelaire to James Frey, and anticipating psychoanalysis with its insights into the subconscious.

US: Penguin Books Ltd, 1971. Paperback. Very Good. Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1821) is an autobiographical account written by Thomas De Quincey, about his laudanum (opium and alcohol) addic tion and its effect on his life. The Confessions was "the first major work De Quincey published and the one which won him fame almost overnight ..." F irst published anonymously in September and October 1821 in the London Maga zine, the Confessions was released in book form in 1822, and again in 1856, in an edition revised by De Quincey.
