Description
Paradise Lost is an epic poem that tells a tale of immense drama and excitement, as God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle ranges across heaven, hell, and earth, with the fate of Adam and Eve hanging in the balance.
The poem explores themes of rebellion, treachery, and the human condition, as Satan and his band of rebel angels conspire against God. A marvelous edition of this masterpiece boasts an introduction by Philip Pullman, one of Milton's most famous modern admirers, who provides a general introduction to the poem and introduces each of its twelve books.
This beautifully produced book features the original engravings from the first illustrated edition published in 1688, printed in two colors throughout. With a ribbon marker included, it makes an ideal gift for anyone interested in exploring this iconic work of English literature.
