ill., ril. Da Giotto a Picasso, da Pollock a Serrano, dai tarocchi ai videogiochi. Il libro di riferimento sulla figura del diavolo, dal medioevo alla cultura pop, dalla storia dell'arte alla letteratura. Una ricchissima storia per immagini dedicata alla storia, alla simbologia e alle manifestazioni del diavolo nell'immaginario collettivo di ieri e di oggi. Il male è una componente dinamica della vita. la sua presenza nell'arte, come personificazione o come emanazione è rivelatrice della struttura costitutivamente polare del pensiero umano. Demetrio Paparoni analizza attraverso un linguaggio chiaro e accattivante la rappresentazione del diavolo e delle manifestazioni del maligno nelle arti d'occidente e d'oriente, di ieri e di oggi, attraverso capolavori della storia dell'arte, incisioni, manifesti, tarocchi, cover di dischi, film, fumetti, oggetti di moda e design, e altre curiosità sul mondo dei demoni, dell'occulto e della stregoneria.

344p. 8vo. Original stiff paper wraps. "An authentic historical narrative, it takes its dialogue from the actual trial records but applies modern psychiatric knowledge to the witchcraft hysteria that swept Salem Village in 1692. It was a tragedy of individuals, which underlined as sharply as has any event in history the power of self-righteousness, fantasy, and fear to turn decent people into fana tical persecutors." OCC 8
