The Poem of Hashish: Esoteric Classics -- Aleister Crowley

French literary figure Charles Baudelaire was a member of the infamous Club of the Hashish-Eaters, a Parisian literary group dedicated to the exploration of altered states of consciousness, principally through the use of hashish. The Poem of Hashish was first published in 1850. This is Aleister Crowley's translation of it, from 1895. Baudelaire was part of the French art movement known as Symbolism, which acted as a reaction to realism and placed a lot of emphasis on the power of dreams and the imagination as tools for communicating ideals through symbols.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Aleister Crowley, Charles Baudelaire<br><b>Publisher:</b> Lamp of Trismegistus<br><b>Published:</b> 08/25/2020<br><b>Pages:</b> 58<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.22lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.14d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781631184840<p></p>
