Paradise Lost

Before Dante. Before Tolkien. There was Milton. Paradise Lost is John Milton's monumental retelling of the biblical fall of Adam and Eve, set against the cosmic war between Heaven and Hell. With stunning poetic language and intellectual depth, Milton crafts a story where Satan, cast from Heaven, becomes one of literature's most complex and compelling characters. At once a tale of divine justice and tragic rebellion, Paradise Lost explores free will, temptation, pride, and the cost of disobedience in some of the most powerful verses ever written in English literature.
