Paradise Lost, an epic poem in blank verse, written by the 17th-century poet John Milton as he became blind at the end of his life, is a retelling of the Biblical story of the Fall of Man. While based on the Christian tale, the poem incorporates many topics, and spends most of its verses detailing the journey of Satan and his war on the angels. The depiction of Adam and Eve draws an elaborate panorama of their trials. This classic of Western literature is wide-reaching and enormously influential, and should not be absent from the modern reader's bookshelf.

Product description

Review

Pullman sagely advises the uninitiated to put sound before sense, allowing the power of Milton's music to work its magic. --Wall Street Journal

About the Author

John Milton (1608-1674) spent his early years in scholarly pursuit. In 1649 he took up the cause for the new Commonwealth, defending the English revolution both in English and Latin - and sacrificing his eyesight in the process. He risked his lifeby publishing The Ready and Easy Way to Establish a Free Commonwealth on the eve of the Restoration (1660). His great poems were published after this political defeat. John Leonard is a Professor of English at the University of Western Ontario.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kindle Version sieht gut aus
Reviewed in Germany on 8 February 2019
Verified Purchase
Habe das Buch als Kindle Version gekauft

Kostet nichtmal einen Euro und ist leserlich, sowie fehlerfrei auf das Format übertragen worden (zumindest bis zu meinem Lesestand, ca. 1/4 des Buches).

Das Buch selbst ist sehr interessant und lesenswert, jedoch muss man sich bewusst sein das es in relativ altem Englisch verfasst worden ist, somit sind manche Wörter unbekannt, andere haben nichtmehr die selbe Bedeutung.

Außerdem ist es kein entspanntes Buch zum nebenbei Lesen, es regt sehr zum Nachdenken an.

This is an amazing edition as well as an amazing read! Truly astonishing! I have been looking for a nice cover of this for a long time. I am very satisfied, beyond in fact! The story is great, the writing is marvelous. I get amazing visuals in my mind when I read this.... Fantastic. Very beautiful, both in appearance and in a literature sense. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars May works like this undergo a revival in modern churches!
Reviewed in Japan on 23 September 2019

At first when I saw that it was written in verse I was apprehensive (as I’m not too used to it and wasn’t sure how much I’d understand) but as I made my way through I quickly came to appreciate the beauty of the verse and found it in no way a hinderance to understanding the story.

Many modern Readers I imagine might not have the patience to get used to the verse but if you just keep reading even for a little bit you’ll get used to it and become totally entranced in the narrative.
