Críticas
My heart trembled through from end to end... What a poet that man is! How he vivifies words, and deepens them, and gives them profound significance! -- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Reseña del editor
In an examination of his laudanum addiction and the dreams and visions the drug engendered, Thomas De Quincey lays bare the celestial pleasures and infernal lows of an existence dependent on "subtle and mighty opium". At once moving and rhapsodic, and suffused with a poetic and lyrical beauty, Confessions of an English Opium-Eater hauntingly evokes frightful scenes and phantasmagorical night-time wanderings, while reality, dream and memory blur and intertwine in a nebulous and protean haze. Published anonymously in The London Magazine, the Confessions were an immediate success, and soon speculation was rife as to the identity of the mysterious Opium-Eater. The work, which introduced the literary world to De Quincey's unique "impassioned prose", is now widely deemed to be De Quincey's masterpiece. Published anonymously in The London Magazine, the Confessions were an immediate success, and soon speculation was rife as to the identity of the mysterious Opium-Eater. The work introduced the literary world to De Quincey's unique "impassioned prose" and, along with its sequel the `Suspiria de Profundis', is now widely deemed to be De Quincey's masterpiece.

Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (Paperback)
Anbieter: Grand Eagle Retail, Wilmington, DE, USA
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. I have often been asked how I first came to be a regular opium-eaterI sometimes seemed to have lived for 70 or 100 years in one night nay, sometimes had feelings representative of a millennium passed in that time, or of a duration far beyond the limits of any human experience.In an examination of his laudanum addiction, Thomas De Quincey lays bare the celestial pleasures and infernal lows of a life spent in dependence on subtle and mighty opium. At once moving and rhapsodic, and suffused with a poetic and lyrical beauty, Confessions of an English Opium-Eater hauntingly evokes frightful visions and phantasmagorical night-time wanderings, while reality, dream and memory blur and intertwine in a nebulous and protean haze.This edition also includes the classic Suspiria de Profundis and The English Mail-Coach, both continuing De Quinceys exploration of the drug and its relationship with dreams and the events of childhood, and inspiring Virginia Woolf to declare that De Quinceys writing has the effect of rings of sound which break into each other and widen out and out till the brain can hardly expand far enough to realize the last remote vibrations. Published anonymously in The London Magazine, the Confessions were an immediate success, and soon speculation was rife as to the identity of the mysterious Opium-Eater. The work, which introduced the literary world to De Quincey's unique "impassioned prose", is now widely deemed to be De Quincey's masterpiece.
