Lush with poignant and gracefully captured memories, Reinecker presents her readers a vividly unique yet universal perspective of a young child moving, haltingly, through the rocky landscape of adolescence into adulthood. Reinecker invites us on her journey to understand her life and life choices through her exploration of her relationship with both parents-a beloved father who was emotionally and physically unavailable, and a mother whose love included liberal amounts of shame. Reinecker's memoir is beautifully written and insightful. -Julie Berg

Download or read book Confessions of an English Opium Eater written by Thomas de Quincey and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-04 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confessions of an English Opium-EaterBy Thomas de QuinceyEssayist and writer, son of a merchant in Manchester, was born there. The aristocratic "De" was assumed by himself, his father, whom he lost while he was still a child, having been known by the name of Quincey, and he claimed descent from a Norman family. His Autobiographic Sketches give a vivid picture of his early years at the family residence of Greenheys, and show him as a highly imaginative and over-sensitive child, suffering hard things at the hands of a tyrannical elder brother. He was educated first at home, then at Bath Grammar School, next at a private school at Winkfield, Wilts, and in 1801 he was sent to the Manchester Grammar School, from which he ran away, and for some time rambled in Wales on a small allowance made to him by his mother. Tiring of this, he went to London in the end of 1802, where he led the strange Bohemian life related in The Confessions. His friends, thinking it high time to interfere, sent him in 1803 to Oxford, which did not, however, preclude occasional brief interludes in London, on one of which he made his first acquaintance with opium, which was to play so prominent and disastrous a part in his future life.We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
