Journey into the underworld through three thousand years of visions
of hell, from the ancient Near East to modern America From the
Hebrew Bible's shadowy realm of Sheol to twenty-first-century
visions of Hell on earth, The Penguin Book of Hell takes us through
three thousand years of eternal damnation. Along the way, you'll
take a ferry ride with Aeneas to Hades, across the river Acheron;
meet the Devil as imagined by a twelfth-century Irish monk - a
monster with a thousand giant hands; wander the nine circles of
Hell in Dante's Inferno and witness the debates that raged in
Victorian England when new scientific advances cast doubt on the
idea of an eternal hereafter. 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.
