Paradis Perdu

Paradis Perdu

by John Milton

Paradis Perdu, or Paradise Lost, is an epic poem by John Milton that recounts the biblical story of the Fall of Man. It explores themes of free will, temptation, sin, and redemption through a complex narrative centered on the rebellion of Satan and his followers against God. Milton uses classical poetic structures and techniques, drawing upon classical sources like Virgil's Aeneid, to create a deeply philosophical and powerful work that examines the nature of good and evil, the consequences of disobedience, and the potential for hope and renewal even in the face of profound loss.
