In diesem autobiografischen Werk schildert DeQuincey (1785-1859) seine Erfahrungen mit dem Opium, das er als 19-Jähriger erstmals konsumierte.

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 through London, along with the nightmares, despair and paranoia to which he became prey.
