Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle ranges across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the centre of the conflict are Adam and Eve, motivated by all too human temptations, but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love.
Milton's influence has been felt by many writers since, none more so in recent times than the novelist Philip Pullman. His acclaimed trilogy His Dark Materials takes it title from a line in the poem, and the worlds he created for Lyra and Will have entranced readers across generations. His introduction to the poem is a tribute that is both personal and full of insight; his enthusiasm for Milton's language, his skill, and his supreme gifts as a storyteller is infectious and instructive. He encourages readers above all to experience the poem for themselves, and surrender to its enchantment.

Das beste epische Gedicht, das ich je gelesen habe

Paradise Lost ist das beste epische Gedicht, das ich je gelesen habe. Geschrieben im 17. Jahrhundert folgt das Epos Luzifers Rebellion gegen Gott und seine Verbannung aus dem Himmel. Dieses Ereignis hat Einfluss auf Adam und Eva, denn Luzifer verführt die beiden, die daraufhin ebenfalls aus dem Paradies verbannt werden.
Die Sprache ist atemberaubend. Die Bitterkeit und Enttäuschung sind spürbar in diesem Epos. Das Misstrauen gegenüber der Autorität entlarvt die Grausamkeit des Christentums. Es ist die Geschichte jedes gescheiterten Rebellen verpackt in die christliche Mythologie. Schlussendlich geht es nicht um Göttlichkeit sondern um einen höchst menschlichen Kampf gegen empfundene Ungerechtigkeit.
Ich empfehle, das Buch im Original zu lesen. Die Poesie ist phänomenal.

"My own in thee, for what thou art is mine; our state cannot be severed, we are one, one flesh, to lose thee were to lose myself" - John Milton, PL
This book contains some of the most beautiful and illustrious metaphors I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Milton's depictions are simply enthralling.
Notes necessary for understanding the given metaphors, if the reader isn't familiar with Greek and Roman mythology or/as well as the bible, are included as well.
