Dover Thrift Editions: Confessions of an English Opium-Eater

Viac o knihe

Impressive account — admired for its introspective penetration and journalistic astuteness — of author's early years as a precocious student of Greek and Latin, his adventures among the outcasts and prostitutes of London, studies at Oxford University, introduction to opium in 1804, and his longterm involvement with the drug.
