Print on Demand. This book embarks on a fascinating exploration of the concept of evil, tracing the origins and evolution of the devil figure across diverse cultures and belief systems. The author delves into the historical and theological roots of evil, examining how various religions and societies have defined and personified it throughout history. Delving into ancient mythologies and religious texts, the author uncovers the complex interplay between good and evil, exploring how the devil figure has emerged from a confluence of cultural influences, including Babylonian demonology, Persian dualism, and Judeo-Christian traditions. The book examines the shifting perceptions of evil across different eras, from the demonic forces of nature in early beliefs to the personified figure of Satan in Christian theology. It explores the role of cultural context in shaping our understanding of evil, highlighting how concepts of morality and sin have evolved over time. Ultimately, this book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the devil figure as a reflection of humanity's ongoing struggle with the nature of evil, providing insights into the enduring power of this archetype in shaping our beliefs, values, and understanding of the world.

Everything has a pedigree. Everything, whether animate or inanimate, whether a thing of sense or a creation of the mind, every idea whether based on fact or the growth of a delusion, every truth and every error, has its pedigree.
A pedigree is a line of ancestors, a chain of causes and effects, each link first an effect and then a cause. Rarely, if ever, is an effect the result of an isolated cause, but causes cross and interlace in such endless combinations, that novel effects are continually being produced.
The simplest facts have endless pedigrees of causes and effects.

Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
