Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost explores the Fall of Man through Satan, Adam, and Eve in this acclaimed Penguin edition.

Paradise Lost is John Milton's epic poem exploring the Fall of Man through the stories of Satan, Adam, and Eve across a vast cosmos spanning huge tracts of space and time. Written when Milton was in his fifties—blind, bitter, and briefly in danger of execution—the work creates an intensely human tragedy within an awe-inspiring universe. The poem's apparent ambivalence about whether it justifies the ways of God to men or exposes the cruelty of authority has sparked intense literary debate for centuries. This Penguin edition features 135 pages of Milton's foundational Romantic work, rated 4.5 stars by over 6,900 readers.
