Damned: An Illustrated History of the Devil.

Chronicle books, San Francisco, 2004. Condition is VG+ with very little visible signs of wear inside or out - sharp, bright, square and tight.


Damned explores the long, dark history of one of the most influential figures in Western history: the Devil. With an extraordinary array of images from medieval illuminated manuscripts and Renaissance painting to modern cinema, comic strips, and advertising, Damned portrays the Devil in both religious and secular realms, while the text traces the Devil's evolution from the sadistic beast of the monastic imagination to the Devil who lurks inside every pleasure-seeking individual today.
