Illustrated book Cocaïn: History & Culture

The illustrated book Cocaïn: History & Culture by Assouline features over 100 illustrations on the history, origin and development of cocaine. Several millennia ago, coca leaves were of crucial importance for the development of indigenous South American cultures and the Incas. This book tells the story of how the sacred plant developed into an addictive powder and became the main ingredient in numerous films and series such as "Scarface" and "Narcos".

The history of cocaine addiction dates back to the 19th century, when it was legal and sold over the counter to treat ailments ranging from abdominal pain and cramps to teething pain in babies. Nowadays, cocaine is mainly seen as a self-destructive party drug used by the disco generation.
