Paradise Lost

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

Paradise Lost (1667), by John Milton, is one of the greatest epics in world literature—a masterpiece of poetry, theology, and imagination.

In soaring blank verse, Milton retells the Biblical story of the Fall of Man: the rebellion of Satan against God, the battle in Heaven, and the temptation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. With its unforgettable imagery, philosophical depth, and profound questions of free will, justice, and redemption, the poem remains as powerful today as when it was first written.

Milton's Satan—ambitious, eloquent, and defiant—emerges as one of literature's most complex and compelling figures, while his portrayal of innocence, temptation, and loss shapes our understanding of humanity's eternal struggle between good and evil.

A cornerstone of English literature, Paradise Lost is not just a poem but an enduring exploration of faith, power, and the human condition.
