Synopsis
Paradise Lost is an epic poem written by John Milton, first published in 1667. Set against the backdrop of Adam and Eve's fall from grace in the Garden of Eden, the poem explores complex themes of sin, free will, and the nature of evil. Milton skillfully crafts vivid imagery and powerful metaphors to depict Satan's rebellion against God, his subsequent expulsion from heaven, and his relentless pursuit of revenge. The narrative follows the interplay between God, Satan, and mankind, with Milton's eloquent verse conveying profound moral and theological reflections. Paradise Lost remains a timeless masterpiece, inspiring readers to contemplate the eternal struggle between good and evil.

Reviews
An epic book telling the fall of Man due to the temptation of a fallen Angel Satan. Heaven seems like a soap opera with all the Angel's vying for Gods attention. Seems like the most beautifully decorated Angel Satan throws a jealous fit when God created Mankind, and refuses to bow down to Gods favorite new creation. Satan gets cast down, and tempts Man causing our downfall as well. A wonderful read, and ancient story
