a number of experiences during his boyhood which he implies laid the foundations for his later life of helpless drug addiction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe second part consists of his remarkable account of the pleasures and pains of opium, ostensibly offered as a muted apology for the course his life had taken but often reading like a celebration of it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Confessions of an English Opium-Eater is thus both a classic of English autobiographical writing - the prose equivalent, in its own time, of Wordsworth's The Prelude or Growth of a Poet's Mind - and at the same time a crucial text in the long history of the Western World's ambivalent relationship with hard drugs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull of psychological insight and colourful descriptive writing, it surprised and fascinated De Quincey's contemporaries and has
