About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
This Penguin Classic is performed by Adrian Schiller.
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. And yet, in putting a charismatic Satan and naked 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 briefly 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.

Lives up to the hype!
I’ve always intended to read Paradise Lost, and this edition definitely made it an enjoyable and engaging text - I couldn’t recommend it more.

Awe-inspiring
Superb narration of one of the greatest pieces of writing in the English language. Shivers down the spine and illumination for the mind. Introduction (at the end) also offers fascinating insight and things to think about.
