«Os Paraísos Artificiais» is a collection of essays by Charles Baudelaire, published by Ediouro Publishing in paperback (192 pages, in Brazilian Portuguese).
In these essays, Baudelaire examines the exaltation caused by wine, hashish and opium, and engages with Thomas De Quincey's Confessions of an English Opium-Eater. He reflects on the search for the divine, the transformation of perception and the dark side that these experiences reveal in human beings.
Translation by José Saramago. Brazilian edition of the work originally published in 1860 as Les Paradis artificiels.
For readers of nineteenth-century French literature and philosophical essays, with an interest in reflection on consciousness and states altered by substances.
Charles-Pierre Baudelaire was a French poet, essayist, translator and art critic. His poems are described as exhibiting mastery of rhythm and rhyme, containing an exoticism inherited from the Romantics, and are based on observations of real life.
