Summary
Confessions of an English Opium-Eater by Thomas De Quincey (1785-1859) was first published anonymously in 1821 in the London Magazine and was published in book form a year later. A revised edition was published in 1846. It is an account by the author of his addiction to laudanum and the effects it had on his life. This recording presents an abridged version of the 1856 edition.

Old books rediscovered
I saw that an actor from Feat the Walking Dead tv series read this book as part of his building his character.
Always on the look out for books I have never heard of I gave this a try.
As a fan of Dickens I enjoyed the over elaborate descriptions of the world within this book.
Sadly there is a part which is repeated and spoiled, slightly, the enjoyment of the book.
Not as story driven as Dickens but it does cast a light on a bye gone world.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
