Sinopsis

"Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."

Blind, broken by the death of his wife and bitterly disappointed by the Restoration, Milton dictated his sweeping biblical epic Paradise Lost to a series of helpers. While the struggle between God and Satan rages across the cosmos, the human tragedy of Adam and Eve - the temptation and fall - is movingly depicted in language unsurpassed in its musicality and beauty.

A staggering and audacious undertaking - seeking, in Milton's words, to "justify the ways of God to men" - Paradise Lost has been revered since its initial publication, inspiring writers from Mary Shelley to William Wordsworth, and is widely considered to be the greatest poem ever written in the English language.

Si los personajes, los acontecimientos y el espacio son las tres sustancias con que se construye el mundo épico, el Paraíso Perdido puede considerarse como una épica realizada a partir del espacio. Porque los hechos y los personajes se subordinan al espacio en que se desarrollan o actúan: el cielo, el infierno y la tierra. Milton sabe manejar y combinar con extraordinaria agili...
