Il Paradiso perduto (titolo originale: Paradise Lost), pubblicato nel 1667, è il poema epico in versi sciolti (blank verse) di John Milton che racconta l'episodio biblico della caduta dell'uomo: la tentazione di Adamo e Eva a opera di Satana e la loro cacciata dal giardino dell'Eden.

Das Gedicht handelt von der biblischen Geschichte des Sündenfalls: die Versuchung Adams und Evas durch den gefallenen Engel Satan und ihre Vertreibung aus dem Garten Eden. John Milton war fast sechzig, als er 1667 Paradise Lost veröffentlichte.

Satan is out for revenge. His rebellion has failed, he has been cast out from heaven and is doomed to spend eternity in hell. Somehow he must find a way to prove his power and wound his enemies. He fixes upon God's beloved new creations, Adam and Eve, as the vehicles of his vengeance. In this dramatic...

The protagonist of this Protestant epic is the fallen angel Satan. From a modern perspective it may appear that Milton presents Satan sympathetically, as an ambitious and prideful being who defies his tyrannical creator, omnipotent God, and wages war on Heaven, only to be defeated and cast down.     This text is presented in its original double spaced poetic format.

With the three works included in this volume--Paradise Lost, Samson Agonistes, and Lycidas--Milton placed himself next to Shakespeare, Dante, and Homer as one of the greatest literary genius in history.

It is a spectacular collection of poems and songs in which Milton's particular dramatic and natural chic is evident. The poetry is effervescent as it is spontaneous gush of thoughts, rhythmic and the lyrical measures delight the reader and bound him to read till it ends.  

The Biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden, told in the form of epic poem in blank verse. The poem placed Milton among the greatest English poets of his time.

A brilliant discourse by one of the most influential and prominent English poets. Originally published in 1659 it is an excellent example of Milton's powerful rhetoric. He has expressed his views on politics and religion with great eloquence. The historical value of the treatise adds to its significance. Superb!
