Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Narrative and Miscellaneous Papers V1 is a collection of essays and stories written by Thomas De Quincey, a prominent English essayist and literary critic of the 19th century. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part containing De Quincey's autobiographical essays, including his famous Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, in which he recounts his struggles with addiction and the effects of opium on his life. The second part of the book consists of miscellaneous papers, including literary criticism, political commentary, and personal anecdotes. De Quincey's writing style is known for its vivid imagery, complex syntax, and philosophical musings, making this collection a must-read for lovers of classic English literature.Oh! verdure of human fields, cottages of men and women, (that now suddenly seemed all brothers and sisters,) cottages with children around them at play, that are so far below--oh! summer and spring, flowers and blossoms, to which, as to his symbols, God has given the gorgeous privilege of rehearsing for ever upon earth his most mysterious perfection--Life, and the resurrections of Life--is it indeed true, that poor Kate must never see you more? Mutteringly she put that question to herself. But strange are the caprices of ebb and flow in the deep fountains of human sensibilities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
