Summary: A collection of infamous classics of drug literature: short stories, journalism, medical reports, poetry, visions, lavishly illustrated with dozens of vintage 19th century prints, photos and old postcards..., capturing the heady essence of Victorian drug culture.
From the Romantic opium-eaters, to the Bohemian hashish fanatics, intrinsically linked to the underground art and literature of the era. Narcotics, opium dens, bhang, cannabis, hasheesh eaters, water pipes, halluncingens and hallucinations, dreamy afternoons and hedonistic nights of absinthe, reefer cigarettes and sex. Entertaining, often erotic... dare we say addictive?
