The Encyclopedia of Hell | Free Book
The Encyclopedia of Hell is a comprehensive survey of the
underworld, drawing information from cultures around the globe and
eras throughout history. Organized in a simple-to-use alphabetic
format, entries cover representations of the dark realm of the dead
in mythology, religion, works of art, opera, literature, theater,
music, film, and television. Sources include African legends, Native
American stories, Asian folktales, and other more obscure
references, in addition to familiar infernal chronicles from Western
lore. The result is a catalog of underworld data, with entries
running the gamut from descriptions of grisly pits of torture to
humorous cartoons lampooning the everlasting abyss. Its extensive
cross-referencing also supplies links between various concepts and
characters from the netherworld and provides further information on
particular theories.
Peruse these pages and find out for
yourself what history's greatest imaginations have envisioned
awaiting the wicked on the other side of the grave.
