The Devil's Atlas: An Explorer's Guide to Heavens, Hells and Afterworlds

by Edward Brooke-Hitching

'Very beautiful and illuminating' Mariella Frostrup Edward Brooke-Hitching, author of the international bestseller The Phantom Atlas delivers an atlas unlike any other. The Devil’s Atlas is 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. Whether it’s the thirteen heavens of the Aztecs, the Chinese Taoist netherworld of ‘hungry ghosts’, or the ‘Hell of the Flaming Rooster’ of Japanese Buddhist mythology (in which sinners are tormented by an enormous fire-breathing cockerel), The Devil’s Atlas gathers together a wonderful variety of beliefs and representations of life after death. 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 Devil’s Atlas accompanies 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 traveller’s guide to worlds unseen, The Devil’s Atlas is a fascinating study of the boundless capacity of human invention, a visual chronicle of man’s hopes, fears and fantasies of what lies beyond.

Me ha gustado muchísimo.

A pesar de que antes lo había comenzado a leer , no lo había leído de principio a fin sino solo algunos temas y me había gustado, pero no le había tomado tanta atención.

Tiene mucha información interesante, las cuales están acompañadas por un sinfín de ilustraciones relacionadas y de referencias que hacen todo aún más cautivador para quien lo está leyendo, invitando a investigar más información.

Nos hace transitar por diversas culturas y costumbres, creencias , épocas, lugares, y más.
Hay bastante información que desconocía por completo y eso me ha encantado.

I confess: I am a fan of the gentleman with the cloven feet, horns and the pointy tail. I find him much more interesting than God.

I had read and loved The Madman's Library: The Strangest Books, Manuscripts and Other Literary Curiosities from History by the same author, Edward Brooke-Hitching, which is why I bought this book. A journey through the mystical realms, this profusely illustrated book is filled with so much information, that a myth aficionado like myself couldn't gobble it up fast enough.

It describes all sorts of afterworlds, but more emphasis is placed Judeo-Christian mythology; and hells are given more space than heavens. This is quite understandable, as the Devil is the main focus of the book. (Also, presumably, because the book is written for a predominantly Western audience.) But I don't find that a serious failing. The mentions of the various world mythologies and the references detailed information on them only whetted my appetite to explore further.

This is not a book to read in one go. It deserves to be in your library, to be savoured again and again at leisure.

Despite the title, this book is about both hell and heaven, as well afterworlds in between - limbo, purgatory - and a few imagined and real utopias. By and large, our infernal imagination seems more varied and fascinating than our visions of paradise. The author has brought together a wealth of visions from across world cultures and history and scarcely a page goes by without throwing out some fascinating tidbit for further exploration.

[Denise · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a sumptuous book with lavish photographs about heaven and hell. The Titel is eye catching but the photographic bounty is really captivating. It describes heaven and hell in various cultures but it doesn’t analyse in depth. There is of course a special mention of Dante since I think that the whole book was inspired by him (last year the 700th anniversary of his death was commemorated). It is however for me a reference book since nowadays a lot of myths and figures are found in a lot of fantasy and science fiction books!

Un libro ideal para descubrír las ideas de cielo, infierno y todo lo en en medio y diferentes culturas y religiones.

Te indica exactamente en qué pasajes encontrarlo si dicha religión tiene libro sagrado y está escrito de manera muy poco en farragosa.

Además acompañado de MOGOLLÓN de imágenes que complementan muy bien la lectura.

Muy recomendado.

I really wanted to give this 5 stars but at times the chapter would end mid sentence and start up the next without any acknowledgement of the missing text. This is beyond frustrating, if it only happened once or twice I could over look it but dammit, it happened way too much.

Otherwise it was absolutely wonderful. The text was engaging and very well informed and don't even get me started on the accompanying illustrations. I expected an "atlas" to be well documented with maps but the vast breadth and scope of these surpassed even my wildest expectations. Sooo amazing.

Definitely recommended to those with an interest in history and theology alike. Like strolling thorough a mental museum that just keeps on giving. Enjoy it but also be forewarned of the major glaring flaw of bad editing. 8/10

[Andreea Borz · Rating 3 out of 5]

Although, most of the information one can find in this book seems to be really interesting, the presentation lacks of coherence and synthesis. I would recommend reading this book as a side refference book in order to have a better view of the history of one people or country, but I don't think that this book is enough to understand the religions and the cults that one may discover throughout history.

A coffee table book. I do not own a coffee table. I am glad I did not but the physical book as it would now be heading for the charity shop (I went electric as it wastes less paper). As ever with the coffee table crowd it is big on pictures and thin on the text. It spends most of its time with religious interpretations of what the perfect afterlife would or should be. Mostly they sound pretty awful to me. That is the problem with any Utopia by definition they are not. I though he missed the point by not including modern utopias like shopping malls with and infinite credit card or even Club La Santa I went there twice actually and it isn't. My favorite utopia also not mentioned is to be found in Big Rock Candy Mountain by Harry McClintock

One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fire was burning
Down the track came a hobo hiking
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning"
"I'm headed for a land that's far away
Besides the crystal fountains
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains"
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
There's a land that's fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
And the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh, I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall
The winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And of whiskey too
You can paddle all around it
In a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
The jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again
As soon as you are in
There ain't no short-handled shovels
No axes, saws nor picks
I'm goin' to stay
Where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
I'll see you all this coming fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

The Publisher Says: Packed with strange stories and spectacular illustrations, The Devil's Atlas leads you on an adventure through the afterlife, exploring the supernatural worlds of global cultures to form a fascinating traveler's guide quite unlike any other.

From the author of the critically acclaimed bestsellers The Phantom Atlas, The Sky Atlas, and The Madman's Library comes a unique and beautifully illustrated guide to the heavens, hells, and lands of the dead as imagined throughout history by cultures and religions around the world. Packed with colorful maps, paintings, and captivating stories, The Devil's Atlas is a compelling tour of the geography, history, and supernatural populations of the afterworlds of cultures around the globe. Whether it's the thirteen heavens of the Aztecs, the Chinese Taoist netherworld of "hungry ghosts," Islamic depictions of Paradise, or the mysteries of the Viking mirror world, each is conjured through astonishing images and a highly readable trove of surprising facts and narratives, stories of places you'd hope to go, and those you definitely would not. A traveler's guide to worlds unseen, here is a fascinating visual chronicle of our hopes, fears, and fantasies of what lies beyond.

DISCOVER THE BEYOND: From the depths of underworlds to the heights of heavens and everywhere else a life after death may be spent, this atlas explores the geography, history, and supernatural populations of the afterworlds of global mythologies.

A GLOBAL SURVEY: From the demon parliament of the ancient Maya, to the eternal globe-spanning quest to find the Earthly Paradise, to the "Hell of the Flaming Rooster" of Japanese Buddhist mythology (in which sinners are tormented by an enormous fire-breathing cockerel), The Devil's Atlas gathers together a wonderful variety of beliefs and representations of life after death.

UNUSUAL AND UNSEEN: These afterworlds are illustrated with an unprecedented collection of images. They range from the marvelous "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.

EXPERT AUTHOR: Edward Brooke-Hitching is a master of taking visually–driven deep dives into unusual historical subjects, such as the maps of imaginary geography in The Phantom Atlas, ancient pathways through the stars in The Sky Atlas, and the literary oddities lining the metaphorical shelves of The Madman's Library.

Perfect for:

Obscure history and mythology enthusiasts Anyone with an interest in the occult
Spiritual curiosity seekers
Map lovers

I RECEIVED A DRC FROM THE PUBLISHER VIA EDELWEISS+. THANK YOU.

My Review: A browser's bonanza of images, facts, and ideas about what happens After. There's a lot of art devoted to this subject, pro and con, over the course of the centuries humanity's had enough food to enable people to sit around and think about Death instead of just living with death at every corner, on ecery bend of the road.

There are lots of wheels in the concept of the Afterlife. The Wheel of the Seasons, the sky's great, unending, repetitive turning (which was much more obvious in the time before light pollution ended the sky's dominance of nighttime) seems to have made us into the cycle-spotters that we are. Reincarnation, endlessly cycling through lives on Earth, flowed from this. So did the idea of the duality of Heaven and Hell, the top and bottom of the Wheel's spin.

The artwork, as you see, is gorgeous; the text, which you can't read, is fascinating, and shows the author's easy command of the topic at hand. Nothing in here will make you an expert. If, however, you're curious about how the ancient humans came to think what we now accept as pretty ordinary thoughts about the Afterlife, there is a lot of material in here to point you at areas of further study.

You knew I'd get to ancient Egypt, right? Me, who uses ma'at in all my death-related reviews?

Have a Bosch, just for fun! This guy had a very, very clear vision of what he thought Hell was going to be. Lots of butts in Bosch's hell. The author doesn't go into (!) that. The focus is not solely on Western ideas of Afterlife, lest I have misled you...


...all cultures that have thought about this and left visual representations of it are at least touched on. The author knows his audience. The curious, the art-eyed, the seekers after the paths our ancestors walked...all are doing to find reasons to enjoy this gorgeous gift.

Review title: The where of heaven and hell

I've now exhausted my local library system's collection of Edward Brooke-Hitching's illustrated histories of unique art, books, and atlases. While the previous book The Sky Atlas: The Greatest Maps, Myths, and Discoveries of the Universe was a history of man's efforts through history at looking out into the universe through the sky above, here he chronicles how we have attempted "mapping the unmappable and painting the indescribable, to explore the unexplorable. To be clear this is not a history of world religion, nor a journey focused on the how, or the why; but specifically the where . . . as insight into the historical imagination in engagement with the continually discomforting subject of mortality." (p. 10)

Brook-Hitching and his publisher follow the same approach as his other books: oversized but not coffee-table awkward, well illustrated on quality paper, with the author's text surrounding the artwork at survey-level to engage the general reader, but including bibliography and indexing for use as a starting point for deeper dives. While the other books were arranged primarily in chronological order, here the topic matter calls for logical organization into sections on "Hells and Underworlds" and "Heavens, Paradise, and Utopias" with a short section on Limbo and Purgatory appropriately in the middle. In case you are counting pages, the first section is slightly longer than the last. The justification for the difference is evident in Brooke-Hitching's statement that "preoccupation with the existence of evil, and it's personification, has gripped mankind since prehistory." (p. 92) Within each section the author breaks down the views by religious or cultural traditions, and the profound conclusion, expressed best in the section on Islam:

The worst of all tortures is the distance from God, the punishment for disbelievers and wrongdoers who realize in their misery that they have failed to heed Allah's guidance and cautions, and have brought His wrath on themselves (p. 63)

More ink has been spilled and art generated in history on the where of Hell, but in the end this is the picture in words that matter most.

Heaven's atlas can be summarized in similar fashion by a profound conclusion, this time quoting the Christian Bible but also echoed in the Quran: "No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him.", from I Corinthians 2:9 (p. 294, see p. 185 for the Quran version). In Sky Atlas Brooke-Hitching described the ptolemaic concept of nested celestial spheres to map the placement and movement of planets in space and makes the point here that many philosophers and theologians applied this scientific concept to mapping heaven and hell, notably in Dante's Inferno and Paradiso; Dante placed the location of God in Heaven as "a dazzling point of light at the centre of nine spinning circles, . . . [a] perfect synthesis of religious and scientific belief of his time." (p. 209)

The other deep question to be answered in such an atlas of heaven and hell is the when of time after death. Brooke-Hitching writes that since "God and heaven were beyond time . . . therefore, in heaven there is no day or night, no seasons, no years or centuries. Everything happens and is experienced at once." (p. 200) Time has always been a mystery for science, never more so than today when quantum physics seems to propose multiple simultaneous parallel universes. As I concluded in my review of Sky Atlas, only an eternal God could create an infinite universe, and a heaven--or hell--without end yet experienced at once, defined in 2000-year-old scriptures, suggests that the scientific is, again, finally catching up to the spiritual.

Which brings us back to where Brooke-Hitching started: the continually discomforting subject of mortality. In the spirit in which the author defined his topic I have not expressed a viewpoint in the how or why of where we might spend eternity. I have a definite belief in the how and why of my own destiny, and I hope you do too. Perhaps this book can be your starting point to mapping your eternal journey to where.

I know I am supposed to critique a finished book, and not quibble over problems with early digital copies, but as opposed to all the copious volumes that get their early digital copies right, not just the first but the second chapter here just gets cut off mid-sentence, building up to who knows what. And they’re certainly not alone. It’s to be hoped the end product is better, for the contents deserve a better treatment. Here is a parade through the world’s concepts of hell, and the other place – but it’s the hells we want to see and get a kick out of. Speaking of kicking, perhaps, touching your elders with your feet is a way to get a specific hell for just that transgression, according to some. And if you’re a Buddhist, it’s best to be squeaky clean, for this seems to have the most unnecessarily blood-thirsty situations to end up in – and they outlast the entire universe, multiple times over.

This is a highly pictorial guide to the various hells, paradises and bits in between of the world’s major religions. While no photos are present, what we do get is a weird and wonderful spread of demonic punishment, with a few river-straddling Edenic pastures where relevant. The text nicely discusses how thinking changed over time – Limbo and Purgatory not really being featured in the Bible, and to some extent squashed to some extent as ideas today. But at least we didn’t generally patch them on to a map of the world as belonging to its surface as we often used to do for the Garden of Eden.

Here is quite galling, if not surprising detail – there is to be no farting in heaven. Who’d’ve dared to in the first place? Oh, and there’s an 1863 image of Bael, the “First King of Hell”, that definitely has Putin’s eyes. All this and more to bring to home places we really are absurdly unlikely to ever call home ourselves. Four stars – if corrected from my early proof.

Trzecie spotkanie z autorem - po moim ukochanym “Atlasie lądów niebyłych” i świetnym “Atlasie nieba” zaliczam do udanych, choć nie była to już tak fascynująca lektura, jak poprzednie. Wiele faktów było mi już znanych, a opisywane zaświaty znajome, stąd mniejsze zainteresowanie częścią z przedstawianych wizji życia pośmiertnego.

Niemniej jednak jest to pozycja bardzo wartościowa. Autor przeprowadził niesamowicie szeroką kwerendę, tworząc dzieło zawierające w pigułce wyobrażenia zaświatów stworzone przez szereg ludów wyznających różnorakie religie, napisane przystępnym i czasami żartobliwym językiem, z dystansem do omawianego tematu. Tym razem nie mamy map w dosłownym znaczeniu tego słowa, a bardziej analizę dzieł sztuki wizualnej oraz pisarskiej z uwzględnieniem - jeżeli to możliwe - wszystkich szczegółów pozwalających na umiejscowienie omawianych miejsc w czasie i przestrzeni.

Po lekturze doszłam do dwóch wniosków. Po pierwsze - wyobraźnia ludzka, zwłaszcza w odniesieniu do cierpienia, po prostu nie zna granic. Po drugie - śmierć i co potem zajmowały ludzkość od wieków, czego dowodem jest tworzenie niezwykle szczegółowych, często koszmarnie skomplikowanych systemów życia pozagrobowego w próbie oswojenia się z przewidywanym końcem. Zadziwiające dla mnie jest zwłaszcza to, jak wiele można było wysnuć z tak niepewnych źródeł, co autor doskonale przedstawił.

Bardzo polecam tę serię nietypowych atlasów - jeszcze kilka przede mną, ale na pewno po nie sięgnę niedługo :)

No recuerdo cómo llegué a este y a otros 4 libros de este autor que tengo marcados para leer, pero debo decir que lo disfrute intensamente. Me resulta interesante su catálogo, como una compilación de cosas extrañas que son parte del colectivo pero de lo que nadie habla. Al leer el Atlas del Infierno me asombré y reí de la imaginación que tenemos como seres humanos para poder siquiera imaginar lo que hay después de la muerte.

El autor hace una breve descripción del infierno y el cielo por algunas de las religiones más extendidas hoy en día (y un punto más por incluír religiones de mesoamérica, aunque fuera como un grupo).

Adicional a esto también describe los lugares intermedios, como lo es el purgatorio, que es parte del colectivo pero que no forma parte ni de todas las religiones, ni de manera "legal". Sólo se dice que debería de haber un purgatorio pero no está en los textos.

También describe el fin del mundo en todas estas religiones y al final, final... los paraísos creados fuera de las religiones, como lo es la Utopía, Cockaigne (que no sabía que existía y me dejó pensando si ¿no el nombre de la cocaína viene de ahí?) y Zion, la ciudad fundada en Estados Unidos como un magno proyecto religioso.

En fin, el libro fue todo un viaje y es súmamente interesante.
Me encontré católica... mis creencias base todavía lo son.

"What could better symbolise the insidious mundanity of evil and man's capacity for it, than for its personification to be in our own image?"
"Satan, as he laments in a soliloquy at the beginning of Book IV: 'Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell'. This is ultimately the truest hell of Milton's universe, the spiritual state, the hell one carries within oneself"
Super interesting book, loved all the featured artwork and the comprehensive research and references to some very interesting historical materials and introductions to some incredible new artists. A little more factual than I was expecting but this ended up being a positive. One of those books that leads to hundreds of tabs open, and interested to read more from the author who seems to have a nice selection of other books with a similar appeal.
As well as the exposure to new concepts and works around heaven and hell, I also really enjoyed learning more about some of the more well-known bits of culture around hell and heaven like the work of Dante and Milton.

[Keir Ashby · Rating 5 out of 5]

Although it appears to be presented as a kind of spiritual almanac, 'The Devil's Atlas' is far more serious and profound than one might immediately realise just from the cover and blurb. Brooke-Hitching is a hugely intelligent and impressive author, with his comprehensive detail and fresh prose making what is a surprisingly exhaustively detailed read utterly manageable.
Ultimately, with a book like this, there are only a few criteria to fulfil - how much information you collate and how easily digested it is - and pleasingly the reader will not suffer tonal whiplash as they are taken from and through Assyrian to Zoroastrian to Hindu to Christian belief systems in a matter of pages, nor is the decision to include humour one that comes at the cost of the significance of the context written about. The inclusion of beautiful high-resolution art serves to corroborate this as a surprisingly satisfying read

[Luna · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lush coffee table book that gives a brief overview of a number of religious ideas of the afterlife- namely heaven, hell and those in between. Brook-Hitching goes rather in depth about Biblical (eg Jewish and Christian) concepts of heaven and hell, but also addresses other religions like Egyptian, Mayan, Islam and a handful of others sprinkled in.

The main draw of this book is the artwork within it. Every page has something new to show, which were gorgeous to look at. I loved the variety of art and how it tied in to what was being written about.

What I found interesting was the idea of people, namely those in Biblical religions, that tried to measure the dimensions of heaven and hell. How curious how people tried to combine science and religion together like this... and how heaven and hell now seem to be considered in an entirely different plane of existence these days.

I just didn’t think this had as much love and care put into it as Madman’s gallery/atlas which were just perfect to me. It’s definitely evident by the editing, where multiple pages just ransoming cut off. There is a printed piece of paper so you can figure out what it was meant to say but is still disappointing. Some of the art is reused as well from his other books. It just seems like there is so much art out there it’s a quick way to add pages redescribing what he has in other books.
I still liked it and found out some interesting facts and saw some unique art.

[Amber · Rating 4 out of 5]

I started with The Madman's Gallery by the same author so this was a natural follow up. It's very enjoyable and has gorgeous color plates. Really my only complaint is that part of the text seems to be missing from my edition -- a lot of the chapters leave off mid-sentence as though there's a page missing, however all page numbers are accounted for. I would still recommend it as a great intro to the after worlds of all different religions.

[Cat Baklarz · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was exactly the type of book I was looking for: a broad introduction to different heavens and hells across world cultures. I was a little upset to find a long errata inside, and the other reviews were apt in labeling this a coffee table book. However, I feel like this could be a useful reference book or starting point for someone who does not have a initial understanding of the hells in different cultures, and I greatly enjoyed this read!

Phe-nom-en-al.

If I could give it 10 stars I would.

My favourite book of this year.

The art. The craziness. The thread that ties us all together through every age - that is, total terror of death and need to make sense of it.

An insane amount of research must have gone into this and to parse these complex stories in such a way is a real achievement.

Just phenomenal.

A quick read filled with fantastic artwork.

It is a light reading so yes it could’ve been more in depth but I don’t think the author intended on making it so wordy.

Would’ve been cool to see some type of comparison table that illustrates the similarities and differences across religions.

All in all I give it 4 stars but the choice of artwork is 5 stars.
