| Summary | "La 'Noire Idole': Étude sur la Morphinomanie" by Laurent Tailhade is a scientific publication written during the early 20th century. This book serves as a comprehensive study on morphinomania, the addiction to morphine, exploring the social, psychological, and physical implications of this debilitating condition. Tailhade delves deeply into the nature of morphine addiction and the various perceptions surrounding it in society. In "La 'Noire Idole'," Tailhade elaborates on the dual nature of morphine use, describing how individuals initially turn to it for relief from pain or to seek pleasure, only to find themselves ensnared in addiction. He discusses the stark contrast between the temporary euphoria it provides and the devastating long-term effects on both the mind and body. Through an array of examples, he illustrates the complex world of morphine users, ranging from the affluent and well-to-do who indulge in self-destructive habits to the desperate individuals who resort to theft to sustain their addiction. Ultimately, Tailhade's work seeks to shed light on the need for a more informed approach to treating morphinomania, moving beyond simplistic views of habit and highlighting the profound despair and desperation that accompany addiction.
