Suspiria de Profundis

LibriVox recording of Suspiria de Profundis by Thomas de Quincey. Read in English by Ben Tucker. Join famed author Thomas de Quincey on a journey into the darkness as he ponders on the significance of death as he re-experiences childhood tragedies through the haze of opium, as he dwells on the permanence of things through discussion of palimpsests, as he explores the macabre folklore of the Three Mothers (made famous by being a direct inspiration on director Dario Argento for his Three Mothers trilogy). This collection of essays offers de Quincey at his most poetic and affecting. - Summary by Ben Tucker For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
