This work serves as a translation and adaptation of De Quincey's "Confessions of an English Opium-Eater," examining the experience and the effects of opium consumption. The book delves into themes of addiction, existential reflection, and the interplay of suffering and pleasure through the lens of the author’s personal journey. The opening of this work introduces the reader to the background of the text, highlighting the efforts of Alfred de Musset to translate and share De Quincey's insights on opium. It discusses the long-lost status of "L'Anglais mangeur d'opium" and the circumstances surrounding its rediscovery, shedding light on its importance in the canon of French literature.
