Absinthe--The Cocaine of the Nineteenth Century: A History of the Hallucinogenic Drug and Its Effect on Artists and Writers in Europe and the United States New edition
Doris Lanier
A history of ""the green fairy"", this title presents a study of absinthe?s use and abuse; an exploration of the tremendous social problems (not unlike the cocaine problems of this century) it caused during the 19th century; and an examination of the extent to which the lives of talented young writers and artists became caught up in the craze.
