  Article:   ALEXANDRU MACEDONSKI (1854-1920): OPIUMTRAUM UND HASCHISCHTRAUM.

  Abstract:   Alexandru Macedonski: Dream of opium and dream of hashish. The article analyses the presence of narcotics in the work of Alexandru Macedonski, one of the first Romanian authors to write about drugs and under their influence. For the symbolist poet, drugs were a way to retreat into an imaginary, oneiric universe. In this article, as in his book on the same subject (see note 15), Andrei Oişteanu shows that narcotics have also exercised a real fascination in Romanian culture.

Keywords: drugs in literature, literary symbolism, Alexandru Macedonski, oneiric literature
