Artificial Paradise: On Hashish and Wine As Means of Expanding Individuality by Charles Baudelaire
Requirements: .PDF reader, 13 mb
Overview: In this surprisingly contemporary work, now offered in English for the first time, the greatest poet of the modern age describes the mind-expanding effects of drunkenness and hash addiction on personal morality and the creative force of the individual. Long a bestseller on the continent, it ranks with similar works by De Quincey, Coleridge, and Aldous Huxley as one of the most important literary interpretations of the drug experience in the modern age.
Artificial Paradise contains two major parts—"The Poem of Hashish" and a long essay on inebriation through wine. Baudelaire wrote from long personal experience with these intoxicants, and they eventually contributed to the "wing of madness" that, as he wrote in his diary, he felt fluttering over him in his last days.
