Inquisition, heresy and witchcraft. The hammer of the witches. BASUS G.V.

Demonology is a specific literary genre that suggests an explanation of all aspects of relations that take place between Satan and its demons on the one hand, and human beings on the other. The book “The Hammer of the Witches” is about this.

In 1932, its Russian translation was published in the publishing house “Atheist”. Today it is he who is reprinted again and again, but there are no direct answers to many questions, despite the fact that now the fame of the “hammer of witch” is much higher than in the days when it was published, and the name of this treatise has long entered the massive Culture.

In Russian, there is clearly not enough book about how this text is arranged, why it was written, how met and where it was. Grigory Bakus-a media historian, a connoisseur of medieval demonology and the author of the book that you hold in your hands, will tell the reader about the “Witch's Hammer”, his story and how he influenced the life of many people.
