From the ancient Near East to modern America, delve into three thousand years of visions of hell, explored in The Penguin Book of Hell. This captivating journey takes us through the shadowy realm of Sheol in the Hebrew Bible, to twenty-first-century visions of Hell on earth. Along the way, we embark on a ferry ride with Aeneas to Hades, cross the river Acheron, encounter the Devil as imagined by a twelfth-century Irish monk—a monstrous creature 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, both in life and death.
