Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first literary addiction memoir, featuring the autobiographical Suspiria de Profundis, the inspiration for the 2018 horror film Suspiria, starring Dakota Johnson and Tilda Swinton and directed by Luca Guadagnino In this remarkable autobiography, Thomas De Quincey hauntingly describes the surreal visions and hallucinatory nocturnal wanderings he took through London—and the nightmares, despair, and paranoia to which he became prey—under the influence of the then-legal painkiller laudanum. Forging a link between artistic self-expression and addiction, Confessions of an English Opium-Eater and Other Writings seamlessly weaves the effects of drugs and the nature of dreams, memory, and imagination. First published in 1821, it paved the way for later generations of literary drug users, from Baudelaire to Burroughs, and anticipated psychoanalysis with its insights into the subconscious. This edition is based on the original serial version of 1821, and reproduces two “sequels”: Suspiria de Profundis (1845) and The English Mail-Coach (1849). It also includes a critical introduction discussing the romantic figure of the addict and the tradition of confessional literature, and an appendix on opium in the nineteenth century.

This book was released on 2021-04-23 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its characteristics. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective.Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1821) is an autobiographical account written by Thomas De Quincey about his addiction to laudanum and its effect on his life. The Confessions was "the first great work published by De Quincey and the one that earned him fame almost overnight ..."First published anonymously in September and October 1821 in the London Magazine, the Confessions was released in book form in 1822, and again in 1856, in an edition reviewed by De Quincey.As originally published, De Quincey's account was organized in two parts: Part I begins with a notice "To the reader", to establish the narrative framework:

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas de Quincey reluctantly became a journalist in 1819 in order to alleviate increasingly dire financial difficulties. He initially worked for Blackwood's along with his friend Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Blackwood's had a vicious rivalry with a similar publication, London Magazine, which grew in intensity during the years that de Quincey was a contributor. In 1819, he promised an "Opium Article" to Blackwood's, but after the magazine played a role in the duel that led to Sir Walter Scott's death, De Quincey switched allegiances and sold his Confessions of an English Opium-Eater to London. It was published there in September and October of 1821. (Morrison 33)

This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas De Quincey wrote this account of his life and his struggle with drug addiction to both educate on the evils of opium and also to share the dream trances that he experienced while in the throes of addiction. This version by Penguin presents De Quinceys original version from 1821 and then his revision notes from 1856. There is also a short section of comments that De Quincey made concerning his Confessions from 1821-1855. The Confessions, in a nutshell, begin by recounting De Quinceys early life and the events that led him to begin taking opium. The rest of the tale deals with his problems with opium and his dreams that came from taking the drug. The original version isnt that long of a read, but his revision notes add considerable length, and for the most part werent as interesting as the 1821 original. De Quinceys prose is absolutely amazing. He is one of the most gifted writers Ive had the pleasure to read (up to this date). Many times I felt as though I was lifted up by his words and carried directly into his world. Ive yet to have as profound an experience with any other author. I can only imagine how prolific he might have been if he had not been saddled with an opiate addiction. An amazing book and one I highly recommend to those who are prepared to read and understand it. For those looking for a justification for drug use, look elsewhere!
