Synopsis
An exquisitely illustrated and fascinating short history of opium culture. "Opium" will open people's eyes to the bizarre and shocking history of a drug that began with use in religious ceremonies, then raised high hopes as a cure for many ills in Victorian times and was regarded as an embodiment of the romantic East, leading to its horrific consequences today.

As well as examining its factual historyin memoirs, science, and travel booksshe explores portrayals of opium use in fiction and film.

Text and images in this beautifully designed book perfectly evoke the insiduous allure and devastating dangers of opium smoking.
