The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

Blake, William, 1757-1827

Sobre este libro

"The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" by William Blake is a book composed between 1790 and 1793. This provocative work imitates biblical prophecy while expressing Blake's radical beliefs during the French Revolution. Blake reimagines Hell not as punishment but as a source of vital energy, challenging conventional morality and organized religion. The work features his famous "Proverbs of Hell"—paradoxical sayings designed to energize thought. Blake argues that contraries like reason and energy, good and evil, are essential to human existence and progression, creating a deliberately unified vision where Heaven and Hell must coexist.
