The book is written in genre of popular scientific literature. Bibliography contains dozens titles - mostly these are in English, French and German. As for illustrations, beside my own canvases there are drawings, engravings and pictures of old artists. Also I used as illustrations stills from history films. “Witch-trials” were reviewed by scientist-medievist O.V. Aurov and have got rated “exceptionally high”. The book consist of 12 chapters. You may see its structure by the index:

Temptation.
Stages of madness.
Judges and sceptics.
Nightly flight.
Sabbath.
Witch's power.
Arrest.
