A Modern de Quincey: An Autobiography
Robinson, Anthony (edited by)
George G. Harrap London 1942 First Edition
*Small Octavo -.205mm (8") tall Binding - Hard Cover Orange cloth, hardback with dust jacket. Covers are very slightly faded, the book is clean and tightly bound with no markings. Some foxing, particularly on prelims and a few early pages, but not extending further, except in form of very light spotting on edges. D/J is edgeworn and price-clipped, but has only small chips with no significant loss. This rare autobiography of Captain Robinson is in the main the confession of a drug addict. In the early 1920s, author left the army in India and transferred to Burma Military Police. He became addicted to smoking opium - for a time he even became a Buddhist priest in order to try to break the habit, later attempting suicide, but only succeeding in blinding himself. His story is a deeply moving one, about passing through the abyss of human degradation, and after almost a century it is as relevant as ever. * Good - Very Good
