The year is 1633. Tensions are running high in the small German city of Klosterheim. The Thirty Years' War rages on, as the Emperor contends with invading Swedish forces, and, closer to home, the marauding robber chieftain Holkerstein and his armies threaten to destroy the town and kill every man, woman, and child in Klosterheim.
But not all the townspeople's anxieties originate from without: within the city, too, there is danger at every turn, as the usurper prince tightens his grip on the town and targets those, like the brave Count St Aldenheim, the virtuous Maximilian, and the...

"Bekenntnisse eines englischen Opiumessers" ist das bekannteste autobiografische Werk des englischen Schriftstellers Thomas de Quincey (1785-1859). Dieser Bericht, in dem de Quincey ganz offen, ehrlich und gleichzeitig kunstlerisch und spannend sein Leben voller Leid, Sucht und Genuss beschreibt, erschien zum ersten Mal im Jahre 1821 im "London Magazine." Im Alter von 19 Jahren, als er unter starker Neuralgie litt, nahm er erstmals Opium. Die nachsten 55 Jahre seines Leben wurden unzertrennlich mit diesem Rauschmittel verbunden.

Thomas De Quincey (1785 1859) described his adolescent discovery of the Lyrical Ballads of Wordsworth and Coleridge as 'an absolute revelation of untrodden worlds, teeming with power and beauty'. The admiring letter he sent to Wordsworth led to friendships with him, Coleridge and Robert Southey. Relations soured over time, though, as De Quincey's opium addiction and debts increased. Following Coleridge's death in 1834, De Quincey began writing his 'Lake Reminiscences', published serially in Tait's Magazine up to 1840. Candid, occasionally bitter, and highlighting flaws such as Coleridge's...

Thomas de Quincey n'a jamais renie son erreur; il s'en est plutot pare... La crise passee, il se faisait l'historiographe complaisant des effets de l'opium sur l'ame humaine et il ne s'est jamais lasse de les analyser, de les decrire par le menu, avec une precision qui donne beaucoup de prix a ses recits, et non pas seulement dans ses fameuses Confessions d'un mangeur d'opium, mais dans cent endroits de ses uvres, de ses lettres, de son journal, de ses notes inedites. Ce n'est pas chez lui l'obsession maladive; c'est l'hommage volontaire de l'esclave crucifie au maitre cruel qu'il ne peut...
