Publisher Description

It is often said that two things in life are unavoidable: death and taxes. Certainly the latter is a common thorn, but as to the former it seems that for many people it is merely a hiccup in life's eternal journey. A journey they wish, if being of good deed and character, to share at the eternity of Heaven's largesse, a reward for faith and the obligations of religion.

Of course for those not so fortunate an altogether different experience awaits them in Hell, where eternal torment in the afterlife has inspired the nightmarish visions so terrifyingly conjured up by Dante, Milton, Blake, Baudelaire and many others. If faith is your companion it is a very realistic world to avoid, as those authors gathered here will testify in their rich verse.

About various authors

Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875) was born in Odense, Denmark, the son of a poor shoemaker and a washerwoman. As a young teenager, he became quite well known in Odense as a reciter of drama and as a singer. When he was fourteen, he set off for the capital, Copenhagen, determined to become a national success on the stage. He failed miserably, but made some influential friends in the capital who got him into school to remedy his lack of proper education. In 1829 his first book was published. After that, books came out at regular intervals. His stories began to be translated into English as early as 1846. Since then, numerous editions, and more recently Hollywood songs and Disney cartoons, have helped to ensure the continuing popularity of the stories in the English-speaking world.
