This is an anthology of drug references in literature; ancient sources all the way up to the present. It focuses on the mind altering effects and gives excerpts from all the known writers like Huxley, William James, Hunter Thompson and so forth, but the value lies in the obscure writings and the tapestry all these voices paint of this forbidden topic. Highly recommended but should have been longer. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
This sensational anthology features a rich tapestry of voices exploring the powerful role that mind-altering drugs have played throughout history. It brings together a multiplicity of voices to explore the presence -- both secret and public -- of drugs in the overlapping dialogues of science and religion, pleasure and madness, individualism and social control. Featuring writings by William Burroughs, Hunter S. Thompson, Aldous Huxley, Alice B. Toklas, Charles Baudelaire, Sigmund Freud, and an array of other seekers, Artificial Paradises locates the origins, busts the myths, examines the scientific studies, and embraces the controversy surrounding drugs, offering an honest, if not psychedelic, portrait of the lives and minds of those who have used them.
