In all cultures, in every tradition of the earth, there are countless beliefs, stories, legends, and myths about magical countries, about places where perfect beings reside, about secret entrances that lead to other worlds.

About gates that lead to Heaven, to Hell, to Shambhala, to Avalon, to Atlantis, to the Islands of the Blessed... Whatever we call these places, from whatever perspective we view them, one thing is certain: from antiquity to the present day, the search for the Lands of the Dead, the Places of Absolute Happiness, the Inaccessible Kingdoms of the Immortals, the Invisible Cities, the Secret Gates has never ceased.

This monumental quest, with many revealing insights, is decoded and presented in this very interesting collective work.
