nové vydání klasické anglické četby For
if once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think
little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and
Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination'
Thomas
De Quincey's three essays 'On Murder Considered as One of the Fine
Arts' centre on the notorious career of the murderer John Williams, who
in 1811 brutally killed seven people in London's East End. De Quincey's
response to Williams's attacks turns morality on its head, celebrating
and coolly dissecting the art of murder and its perfections. Ranging
from gruesomely vivid reportage and brilliantly
funny satiric high jinks to penetrating literary and aesthetic
criticism, the essays had a remarkable impact on crime, terror, and
detective fiction, as well as on the rise of nineteenth-century
decadence.
The
volume also contains De Quincey's best-known piece of literary
criticism, 'On the Knocking at the Gate in Macbeth', and his finest
tale of terror, 'The Avenger', a disturbing exploration of violence,
vigilantism, and religious persecution.
