概要
Confessions of an English Opium-Eater by Thomas de Quincey.

“Thou hast the keys of Paradise, O just, subtle, and mighty Opium!” De Quincey may be said to scrutinise his life, somewhat feverishly, in an effort to fix his own identity. The title seems to promise a graphic exposure of horrors; these passages do not make up a large part of the whole. The circumstances of its hasty composition sets up the work as a lucrative piece of sensational journalism, albeit published in a more intellectually respectable organ – the London Magazine – than are today’s tawdry exercises in tabloid self-exposure.

Featured on Confessions, volumes 1 and 2.
