Více o knize

"In 1802 Thomas de Quincey, a young man who will one day write the famous book "Confessions of an English opium eater," collapses on Oxford Street and is nursed back to health by a teenage prostitute. Their lives and that of a freed slave cross and re-cross the slums of London in this novel about the birth of passion, the burden of addiction, and the consolations of literature."--Provided by publisher
