Krátky popis
Milton's celebrated epic poem, now in a gorgeous new clothbound
edition designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. These
delectable and collectable editions are bound in high-quality,
tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. In Paradise Lost
Milton produced a poem of epic scale, conjuring up a vast,
awe-inspiring cosmos and ranging across huge tracts of space and
time.And yet, in putting a charismatic Satan and naked Adam and Eve
at the centre of this story, he also created an intensely human
tragedy on the Fall of Man. Written when Milton was in his fifties
- blind, bitterly disappointed by the Restoration and briefly in
danger of execution - Paradise Lost's apparent ambivalence towards
authority has led to intense debate about whether it manages to
'justify the ways of God to men', or exposes the cruelty of
Christianity. John Milton (1608-1674) spent his early years in
scholarly pursuit.In 1649 he took up the cause for the new
Commonwealth, defending the English revolution both in English and
Latin - and sacrificing his eyesight in the process. He risked his
life by publishing The Ready and Easy Way to Establish a Free
Commonwealth on the eve of the Restoration (1660). His great poems
were published after this political defeat.John Leonard is a
Professor of English at the University of Western Ontario.
