The translator actually pointed out in the foreword that at the time this book was considered a story for children, which is wild considering I've already read one of apparently many passages about tripping on hashish. Guess kids really are too coddled these days.

Im not sure about the original serialisation but a lot of things in the book particularly the drug references were cut out of early editions/translations and werent included until relatively recently.
