How to live in "this" world so as not to regret in "the next"? Who judges souls, who is destined to reach heaven, and who is destined for hellish torments?

Man has always wondered what awaits him beyond the line of earthly existence. Death seemed something unnatural and unclear. People tried their best to fence themselves off from death - but it also awakened the imagination, giving rise to many amazing beliefs, myths and rituals.

Vladimir Petrukhin's new book is a grand journey through the afterlife, as they were imagined at different times on different continents: from the peoples of the Far North to Australia and from Ancient Greece to Scandinavia and Italy.

You will learn how these peoples answered the main questions about death, imagined heaven and hell, buried their dead and dreamed of immortality.
