Originally published in Danish as Breve fra Helvede, this Christian visionary novel is presented as letters from a condemned soul, reflecting on sin, judgment, and the intermediate state after death. This English-language edition is notable for the preface by George MacDonald, the Scottish author, theologian, and fantasy writer whose work influenced later Christian fantasy literature.
