Language: Finnish — this book is written in Finnish.

Tarmo Kunnas

ISBN: 978-951-796-518-7

Jyväskylä University literature professor Tarmo Kunnas explores the concept of evil, often treated as a single whole through Christian tradition, and presents different categories or ways of seeing, experiencing and interpreting it. “Evil has many faces,” says the back cover. Drawing chiefly on examples from literature and art, the book benefits from some knowledge of literature, though none is essential. Kunnas also suggests that the constant appearance of evil in popular entertainment may reflect a kind of inflation of evil and a modern longing for tension between good and evil.
