The cases described in this book are a reminder of how much the woes
of a place owe to mankind’s overactive imagination. The curses uttered by
the prophets of the past, awe-inspiring as they might be, were always
reassuringly abstract: Only those lacking the good sense to simply ignore
them were bound.
Not all cursed places are the same. There are three main rationales forawarding this distinctly off-putting appelation. The classic one, the one
closest to the original sense of the word, is of course bound up with
admonitions of a mystical order. Particularly abundant from antiquity to the
Middle Ages, it has to be said that this category is treading water today due
to a lack of authors capable of reinvigorating the genre. However, the
tradition is being maintained in certain regions thanks to the zeal of readers
the good old sacred texts. Edifying examples of this tendency can be found
in the Middle East.
Taking all the above into consideration, the reader may well wonder
what virtue there is in concerning oneself with these unwelcoming places.
The following pages will provide unsuspecting tourists with all the
information they need to avoid being trapped in an impossible location by
an unscrupulous tour operator. They also offer inquisitive souls a
remarkable summary of the terrifying yet enthralling complexity of
humanity, enabling them to draw the consoling conclusion that, although
Everest and the moon may already have been conquered, many mysterious
places remain to be explored and understood in the world below.
