Heaven and Hell. By Emanuel Swedenborg. Full Audiobook
Heaven and Hell is a book written by Emanuel Swedenborg in Latin and published in 1758. The full title of the book is Heaven and its Wonders and Hell From Things Heard and Seen, or, in Latin: De Caelo et Eius Mirabilibus et de inferno, ex Auditis et Visis. The book provides a detailed description of the afterlife and how people live after the death of the physical body. The book is divided into two parts, the first part describes heaven and the second part describes hell. The book is based on Swedenborg's personal experiences and his claim of revelation from God.

Swedenborg claims that God is love itself and intends everyone to go to heaven. That was His purpose for creation. Thus, God is never angry, Swedenborg says, and does not cast anyone into Hell. The appearance of Him being angry at evil-doers was permitted due to the primitive level of understanding of people in Biblical times. Specifically, holy fear was needed to keep the people of those times from sinking irretrievably into the consequences of their evils .

The fundamental issue of life, according to Swedenborg, is that love of self or of the world drives one towards Hell, and love of God and of fellow beings drives one towards Heaven . The book also includes discussions of what happens to us after we die, what it’s like to live in heaven (or in hell), and the nature of God and angels .

Heaven and Hell has been translated into a number of languages, including Danish, French, English, Hindi, Russian, Spanish, Icelandic, Swedish, Serbian and Zulu. A variety of important cultural figures, both writers and artists, were influenced by Swedenborg, including Johnny Appleseed, Jorge Luis Borges, Daniel Burnham, Arthur Conan Doyle, Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Flaxman, George Inness, Henry James, Sr., Carl Jung, Immanuel Kant, Honoré de Balzac, Helen Keller, Czesław Miłosz, August Strindberg, D. T. Suzuki, and W. B. Yeats .

In his most popular and influential work, Swedenborg describes his journeys through the afterlife--the soul's experience of dying and then being resurrected in heaven, how each of us finds a community there in which to live, and how we can ultimately become angels . The book owes its popularity to its subject matter, which is the afterlife. It has been described as Swedenborg's most popular work .
