Beschreibung des Verlags
Paradise Lost by John Milton is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language: a vast, majestic, and deeply influential retelling of humanity's fall from grace.
Beginning with Satan and the rebel angels cast out of Heaven, Milton's poem moves across Hell, Heaven, and Eden to explore the temptation of Adam and Eve and the loss of Paradise. Written in powerful blank verse, the work combines biblical drama, political reflection, philosophical depth, and unforgettable poetic grandeur.
First published in 1667, Paradise Lost remains a monumental meditation on freedom, obedience, ambition, pride, innocence, and redemption. Its characters—especially Satan, Adam, and Eve—continue to provoke debate for their complexity, intensity, and tragic force.
A cornerstone of world literature, this epic masterpiece continues to challenge and inspire readers with its vision of creation, rebellion, and the human condition.
