Revue des deux Mondes
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"He came but rarely, and then only as a spectator, to the séances at the Hôtel Pimodan, where our circle met to take the "dawamesk"; séances that we have already described in the "Review of the Two Worlds," under this title: "The Club of the Hashishins." After some ten experiments we renounced once and for all this intoxicating drug, not only because it made us ill physically, but also because the true littérateur has need only of natural dreams, and he does not wish his thoughts to be influenced by any outside agency."--"Charles Baudelaire" (1868) by Théophile Gautier |

The Revue des Deux Mondes (Eng: Review of the Two Worlds) is a monthly literary and cultural affairs magazine published in the French language. It was founded by François Buloz, first appearing on August 1, 1829. According to its website, it was created in order to "establish a cultural, economic and political bridge between France and the United States". It was purchased in 1831 by Buloz, who was its editor until 1877. Another influential editor in its history was Ferdinand Brunetière (after 1893).
