註釋One of the greatest Epic poems ever written. A classic retelling of Biblical mythology. A tragic story of civil war in Heaven, where Satan raises impious war by leading a third of the angels in rebellion against God. Written in the XVIIth century during a time of religious revolution in England, it also relates the subsequent stories about the temptation of Adam and Eve by Lucifer, as well as their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Having gone totally blind, protestant John Milton (1608-1674) wrote Paradise Lost entirely through dictation. This edition reproduces the original first version printed in 1667, consisting of ten books with over ten thousand lines in blank verse. This unique edition also includes the 50 illustrations created in 1866 by Gustave Dore, the most popular and renowned French illustrator of the mid XIXth century, and one of the best of all time.
