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

brossura Il diavolo esiste, è tra noi. E il più grande esorcista spagnolo, Josè Antonio Fortea, ce ne svela la natura trasportandoci, in pieno XXI secolo, nel mondo ancestrale della possessione diabolica. Un libro sulla parte più oscura della Creazione, e che ci insegna davvero a conoscerla, affrontarla e sconfiggerla.
Parto della mente o forza cosmica, la figura del demone ha esercitato un'azione reale nella storia, indirizzando il pensiero e i comportamenti umani, come sanno le fiamme divoratrici di streghe. Di qui l'interesse cruciale del saggio di Daniele Baroni, che dalla Grecia al Rinascimento, dai filosofi pagani all'ebraismo e al cristianesimo ci spiega come il demone sia diventato Satana, illustrandocene le caratteristiche. La demonologia, in questo senso, diventa una fenomenologia del Male, che esiste - quello sì anche nel nostro mondo disincantato. Autori: Daniele Baroni.
