Why Absinthe Made Victorian Artists See Demons | Boring history for sleep

Описание: Dive headfirst into the gaslit, grimy glamour of the Victorian era with a darkly comedic look at Absinthe! Did this potent emerald elixir really make artists see demons, or was it just excellent marketing for a spectacular public breakdown? Join us for a sarcastic, immersive journey through the surprisingly mundane origins of "the Green Fairy," its boom in popularity among Parisian bohemians, and the infamous "absinthism" syndrome. We'll separate scientific fact from sensational myth about thujone, explore the green-tinted tales of Van Gogh, Baudelaire, and Picasso, and uncover the elaborate rituals and moral panics that led to Absinthe's ban. From the Lanfray massacre to its modern revival, discover the intoxicating blend of history, hype, and human fallibility. Get ready for an intelligent, sarcastic, and vividly sensory deep dive that might just put you to sleep (in the best way possible).
