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.

路西法不肯屈服于上帝，不断反抗，最终化身为罪恶的蛇。人类犯下最初的原罪之后，便慌忙向上帝卑躬屈膝，请求宽恕。如果是我，我宁愿做那宁死不屈的魔，万劫不复也在所不惜。越看越觉得自己真是个反人类份子。
评分Glory of glory
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)
评分like satan and eve most
评分一位致力于写下Epic poetry的诗人，在双目失明时映出的宏伟之著。设置上有很多刻意的矛盾，从而使堕落本身显得并非那般罪恶。一些对于Bible的改写非常之精妙，突出了Satan和Eve两个我最喜欢的角色。人终有其Free Will，去审视与明辨世界。总觉得有时中文译本会更美，不知是不是英文水平不够的缘故。以最喜欢的一段话为结 “The World was all before them, where to choose … They hand in hand with wandring steps and slow,/Through Eden took thir solitarie way.” “世界在他们眼前，去哪，何处休憩？恩典指引：牵手漫步游荡，自伊甸独行.” Chris
