Exploring the harrowing journey of addiction, this memoir recounts Thomas De Quincey's initial use of opium to alleviate chronic pain, which spirals into a profound dependency. He vividly describes the physical and psychological effects, including surreal dreams and hallucinations, while contextualizing opium's cultural significance in 19th century England. Celebrated for its poetic prose, the work has profoundly influenced subsequent literature on addiction, resonating with notable authors like William S. Burroughs and Charles Bukowski.
