"Hell" (second, expanded edition published in 1998 by "Sion") is one of the most striking theological-mystical and essayistic works by the renowned Croatian and Montenegrin painter, writer and Christian thinker Miro Glavurtić. Known for his surrealist artistic expression and deep dedication to Christian demonology and eschatology, Glavurtić delves into the dark depths of human experience and spiritual reality in this book. In the work, the author analyzes the theological concept of hell not only as a religious dogma or eternal punishment, but also as a state of the human soul that, due to free will, renounces God's love and truth. Glavurtić sheds detailed light on the workings of evil, demonology and contemporary manifestations of the fallen world, connecting traditional Catholic teachings, biblical prophecies and mystical experiences with the crisis of modern man. Through a blend of theological analysis, artistic vision, and philosophical insights, the author warns of the subtle ways in which evil creeps into everyday life and emphasizes the crucial importance of repentance, prayer, and spiritual vigilance. Written in an exceptionally striking, dark, and visually rich style that also reflects his painterly sensibility, "Hell" is a cautionary and deeply provocative read that confronts the reader with fundamental questions of faith, morality, human destiny, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness.
