Which circles of hell are the most beautiful according to Dante? Where is the best place to grab a bite in the ancient Egyptian underworld? How do they dress in the heavenly palace of the Hindu Vishnu? And what treasures...
can be found in the wilderness of Valhalla?
Before you is a list of places for which billions of people would be willing to die! An exciting exploration of the afterlife: iconic locations from mythology, history, and literature from "The Epic of Gilgamesh" and the circles of hell in Dante to Hieronymus Bosch and "Star Trek".
In this book, we will take a tour through one hundred places to which one can go after death: seven main categories — one chapter for afterlives from myths, scriptures, films, books, and so on. Is there a possibility to experience life after death in worlds from paintings, video games, Sunday comic strips, superhero universes, and amusement park attractions? Among them are both famous and less known, those that are always in the spotlight and those that few have heard about.
Who is this book for:
For those interested in culture in its unusual aspects.
