He is known as an artist and producer in charge of many projects, including Gotan Project and The Moonshine Sessions. As master of ceremonies he presents never before experienced perfumes. The soundtrack of Le Club des Hashischins is a reference to a secret society initiated by Dr. Here, everyone could lose themselves in sweet delusions, subtle delights For posterity, Gautier wrote a novella entitled Le Club des Hashischins. The club itself, inaccessible since its closure, remained mythical for any intellectual. As luck would have it, Philippe Cohen Solal managed to get the key — as if in a dream — and to reopen the mansion in March , during the Paris Music Festival.
The motto of this session and with broad scope: The story could have ended there, but by then Philippe Cohen Solal wanted more.
Like a pop trip fostering sound reverie, it offers the space a healthy break in these hectic times. Baudelaire, with his romantic image of wine, clings to the last vestiges of drink as a means to creating social bonds. His lasting axiom is the insistence that opium quite unlike wine and hashish intensifies existing intellectual prowess. Clearly, opium is not a means to intelligence, however it permits one to use their intellect differently, specifically to provoke fabulous dreams that transcend the banality of everyday life and which further enlighten the user.
I would recommend this book to any discerning academic, those with an interest in abnormal psychology, or anybody who would merely like to add a grand number of new words to their vocabulary. What is particularly moving about this read, is that the central focus of his resplendent nay jovial writing was what brought him to his premature death in , paralysed by opium-induced aphasia, and dying in a Paris nursing home.
Interesting and captivating in style, but not so exciting and intense as the experiences of the opium eater, the book's hero. But while artificial paradises -that can easily turn upside down into artificial hells- can allow one to re-live with an exalted sensitivity past experiences and don't reveal in fact anything new, natural paradises are ground of exploration and discovery.

A complex subject, not enough space, won't say more If you are interested in the subject this is upscale druggie litterature. The beginning of this book might be a little discouraging since it describes and lists the aspects and effects of haschish and opium, but then, Baudelaire focuses solely on opium and uses De Quincey's autobiography as an exemple. De Quincey's life is fascinating, not only as an opium-eater, and so are Baudelaire's analyses, which are always relevant and beautifully said.
As always, Baudelaire manages to be poetic without even meaning to, and he has a deep understanding of the English language.

If you love his poems, there's a good chance you'll be as absorbed as I was by this book!
L'invitation au voyage Madame Bovary Gustave Flaubert. Like the famous fantasia of the Club des Hashischins. Book ratings by Goodreads. Les Fleurs du mal Le Spleen de Paris
Baudelaire can make the mundane taking a sip of wine extraordinary and the extraordinary tripping hard on robust opiates mundane. Written with all the lyricism you'd expect of such a poet, and all the due diligence and many hours of personal "research" you'd expect of a I was going to say "scientist", but realistically here, "drug devotee" is perhaps more appropriate.
Not my style of book. I picked it thinking it was a poems collection aha.
Even if it was quite interesting and the writing absolutely beautiful, it was hard for me to finish. Jul 09, Czarny Pies rated it it was ok Recommends it for: Anyone interested in Thomas de Quincey. This book was big in the s and s when haschish smoking first became a widespread practice in North America. People like to feel that their vices are legitimized when practiced by important literary figures.
The book is basically rot. Graduate students in English literature might want to read it because of the long analyis that it contains of Thomas de Quincey's "Confessions of an English Opium Eater". Baudelaire concludes reasonably enough that de Quincey overdid it. Eigentlich kennt man ihn vor allem wegen seiner Gedichte.
Kai Grehn lud dabei 12 Bands ein, sich von Baudelaire Gedicht "Berauschet euch" inspirieren zu lassen. Cela vaut-il la peine d'y consacrer un livre?
