The Penguin Book of Hell

Meer over het boek

From the Hebrew Bible's shadowy realm of Sheol to twenty-first-century visions of Hell on earth, this book takes us through three thousand years of eternal damnation. Drawing upon religious poetry, epics, theological treatises, stories of miracles, and accounts of saints' lives, this fascinating volume of hellscapes illuminates how Hell has long haunted us, in both life and death.
