ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Thomas de Quincey

Menino prodígio, ávido leitor em criança, precoce classicista, Thomas de Quincey (1785-1859) fez de tudo para fugir aos epítetos que lhe queriam colar ao epitáfio. Na adolescência fugiu da escola para passar Invernos na penúria, a vadiar pelas ruas; na juventude entrou em Oxford, mas saiu de lá sem o diploma porque não compareceu ao último exame. Viciado no ópio e afogado em dívidas, escreveu mais de duas centenas de artigos de filosofia, história, estética, crítica literária e política, muitos deles reunidos nos livros Confissões de Um Opiómano Inglês (1821) ou O Assassínio como Uma das Belas-Artes. Com uma escrita subversiva e refinada que é uma verdadeira uma lição de humor negro e de retórica, os seus ecos repercutem-se ainda hoje no fascínio das artes — e do público — pelo terror, o crime, o lado negro da vida.
