Lediglich leichte Gebrauchsspuren am Einband, sonst ein sauberes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / only slight signs of usage on the cover, otherwise a clean copy without markings. - 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 though London, along with the nightmares, despair and paranoia to which he became prey.
