具体描述
John Milton's celebrated epic poem exploring the cosmological, moral and spiritual origins of man's existence, Paradise Lost has been fully revised with an introduction by John Leonard in Penguin Classics.
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.
John Leonard's revised edition of Paradise Lost contains full notes, which elucidates Milton's biblical, classical and historical allusions and discuss his vivid, highly original use of language and blank verse.
作者简介
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 lifeby 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.

评分 评分看这本书的时候，就想起以前听过的一个诡辩来，说如何证明上帝不是万能的，那就让上帝创造一块他自己也不能搬得起的石头，如果他能够创造，那么他搬不起这块石头，他就不是万能的；如果他不能，那么也证明了他不是万能的。 这只是一个轻松的脑筋急转弯，把这个放在书评最前面说...
评分弥尔顿是个清教徒，然而在《失乐园》中常常露出伊壁鸠鲁派的小尾巴，这是一件十分有趣的事。 撒旦划出地狱之门面对茫茫的混沌，有下面一段话： “这个狂乱的深渊是自然的胎盘， 恐怕也是坟墓， 既不是海，也不是地，不是风，不是火所构成， 而是这些元素的纷然杂陈， 产生了原...

没中文翻译看不懂。Milton自创了不知道多少词......写此书目的就是against monarchy and regain the liberty for England。 其实觉得Eva和Satan是一伙的...jian。。。。。‘with accent sweet renewed’..Adam就是一直再被洗脑的状态..
评分A mind not to be chang'd by Place or Time. The mind is its own place, and in it self Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n. //Awake, arise, or be forever fall’n (Book 1, line 330) // Nor grateful Evening mild; nor silent Night With this her solemn bird; nor walk by moon, Or glittering star-light without thee is sweet. (Book IV, 652)
