'Very beautiful and illuminating' Mariella Frostrup Edward Brooke-Hitching, author of the international bestsellerThe Phantom Atlasdelivers an atlas unlike any other.The Devils Atlasis an illustrated guide to the heavens, hells and lands of the dead as imagined throughout history by cultures and… religions around the world. Packed with colourful maps, paintings and captivating stories, the reader is taken on a compelling tour of the geography, history and supernatural populations of the afterworlds of cultures around the globe.

These afterworlds are illustrated with an unprecedented collection of images, ranging from the marvellous infernal cartography of the European Renaissance artists attempting to map the structured Hell described by Dante and the decorative Islamic depictions of Paradise to the various efforts to map the Garden of Eden and the spiritual vision paintings of nineteenth-century mediums.The Devils Atlasaccompanies beautiful images with a highly readable trove of surprising facts and narratives, from the more inventive torture methods awaiting sinners, to colourful eccentric catalogues of demons, angels and assorted death deities.A travellers guide to worlds unseen,The Devils Atlasis a fascinating study of the boundless capacity of human invention, a visual chronicle of mans hopes, fears and fantasies of what lies beyond. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
