Paul Koudounaris` ”Empire of Death” is a dark, macabre, and intriguing look into Ossuaries and Charnel Houses. Visitors to the Paris catacombs were once greeted with a sign telling them that they were entering ”THE EMPIRE OF DEATH”, and this book goes some way in explaining why.This riveting book takes the reader on a tour of these macabre masterpieces with specially taken photographs and a commentary meticulously researched from a a variety of sources. Starting in the early modern period and continuing to the 19th century, elaborately decorated charnels, tombs and chapels were constructed with the focus on human bone.A fascinating look at a side of cultures not usually seen by all. 32x23cm.
