PARADISE LOST - JOHN MILTON KARTONIERT (TB)

John Milton's celebrated epic poem exploring the cosmological  moral and spiritual origins of
man's existence    A Penguin Classic    In Paradise Lost Milton produced poem of epic scale 
conjuring up a vast  awe-inspiring cosmos and ranging across huge tracts of space and time 
populated by a memorable gallery of grotesques. And yet  in putting a charismatic Satan and
naked  innocent 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 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.  For more than seventy years
