Annotation

Thomas De Quincey was charming, highly gifted, and something of a fugitive from society. His thirty perilous years of drug addiction both eased his considerable social anxieties and created new, devastating mental and physical torments. He fought a constant and bitter struggle against the incapacity and torpor that opium - then as readily available as aspirin - incurred, an agonising conflict that is at the heart of his Confessions.
