The great British epic, a work of rich and fascinating poetry and one of the most enduring books ever created. This edition contains both Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained.
'Paradise Lost was the first literary work in English written on a planetary scale' Guardian
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 and influential epic, Milton tells the story of the serpent and the apple, the fall of man and the exile from paradise in stunningly vivid and powerful verse.
INTRODUCED BY ORLANDO READE, AUTHOR OF WHAT IN ME IS DARK
'Milton's language ravishes the ear, yet the verse also floods the inner eye with spectacular imagery' The Times
