“Hell” will spend you through three millennia of eternal torment - from the Old Testament Sheol and Geenna to the latest versions of hell on Earth.
You will cross the Aheron River in the same boat with the hero Enee and step on the shore of Aida, meet the devil in the image of a giant thousand -handed monster, as the monk that lived in the 12th century imagined him, passing nine circles of Danta underworld, in which gluttores, liars, liars, liability Heretics, killers and hypocrites undergo eternal torment for their sins, you will witness disputes that have excited Victorian England when these sciences forced people to doubt the idea of an afterlife punishment.
The unique anthology of the most important texts about the ADA, compiled by the American medievalist and historian of religion, the professor of Fordham University Scott Bruce, demonstrates us as the idea of posthumous reckoning for earthly sins and continues to influence the minds of people
