Tornato dal suo viaggio a Milano, Thomas de Quincey, giornalista inglese, comincia ad avere dei sogni particolari, quasi delle allucinazioni tachicardiche. Potrebbe essere solo soggezione, una reazione nervosa al luogo in cui ha soggiornato in Italia, la casa dei Conti Imbonati, notoriamente accostata a voci di fantasmi e spettri. Fatto sta che ora, tornato in Inghilterra, Thomas continua a fare sogni che non aveva mai fatto prima. Ce n’è uno in particolare che ritrae tre dame a lui sconosciute, tre Madri dell’Occulto che tormentano le sue notti.Uno dei primi classici del genere gotico e horror che ha ispirato innumerevoli opere letterarie e cinematografiche, non ultima la "Trilogia delle Madri" di Dario Argento.Thomas De Quincey (1785-1859) è stato un giornalista e scrittore britannico. Considerato uno dei fondatori del genere gotico e dell’horror per via del suo ‘Suspiria’, de Quincey ha raggiunto l’immortalità letteraria con ‘Confessioni di un mangiatore d’oppio’, uno scritto autobiografico, sempre caratterizzato da questa estetica onirica e febbrile, in cui racconta la sua dipendenza dall’oppio.

"Jeg præsenterer dig her, kære læser, for en beretning om en bemærkelsesværdig periode i mit liv". Sådan begynder den britiske forfatter Thomas de Quincy beretningen om sit liv. Fra sin turbulente barndom og sine teenageår, hvor han stikker af hjemmefra og lever som hjemløs i Londons Oxford Street, til sine første åbenbarende oplevelser med opium fortæller han om et liv i dyb afhængighed af opioider og alkohol og de ekstreme oplevelser det medfører af søvnløshed, hallucinationer og mareridt."En opiumsdrankers bekendelser" var Thomas de Quincys første udgivne værk og gjorde ham hurtigt til en berømt skikkelse i det litterære miljø.idden /title /head body center h1 403 Forbidden /h1 /center /body /htmlThomas de Quincy (1785 - 1859) var en engelsk forfatter. Han er særligt kendt for selvbiografien "En opiumsdrankers bekendelser", hvori han beskrev sit liv med opiumafhængighed. Hans liv var på mange måder turbulent, men trods misbrug og økonomiske problemer, formåede han alligevel at skrive og udgive en lang række essaysamlinger foruden en enkelt gotisk roman under titlen "Klosterheim, or The Masque".

Chi non e curioso di scavare nelle allucinazioni, in quei sogni psicotropi dove panico e orrore assumono la forma di quel che non vogliamo vedere? O di scoprire le origini letterarie dei vampiri, la loro prima apparizione su carta e inchiostro? O ancora, di leggere di assassini, presagi di morte, cuori pulsanti, pendoli e corvi neri - chi, insomma, non desidera indagare nelle proprie paure?In questo volume, quattro storie tra le piu classiche del genere, racconti che hanno influenzato cultura pop e letteratura, cinema e televisione. I maestri del terrore - Poe, De Quincey e Polidori -, riuniti in un'unica imperdibile raccolta, vi accompagneranno in un viaggio nel tempo fino alle origini dell'horror. -

Thomas De Quincey (1785-1859) was an English author and intellectual, best known for his book Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1822). Many scholars suggest that in publishing this work De Quincey inaugurated the tradition of addiction literature in the West. In 1821, he went to London to dispose of some translations from German authors, but was persuaded first to write and publish an account of his opium experiences, which that year appeared in the London Magazine. This new sensation eclipsed Lamb's Essays of Elia, which were then appearing in the same periodical. He maintained himself by contributing to various magazines. His other works include: On the Knocking at the Gate in Macbeth (1823), Walladmor (1825), Biographical Essays (1851), Autobiographical Sketches (1853), Romances and Extravaganzas (1877), and Collected Writings (1889).
