Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Masterful retelling of the first three chapters of Genesis. Milton offers many faithful insights to the text, though Milton's Pelagian sensibilities are evident. The battle scenes and Satanic adversary make the work compelling throughout, while Lanzara's translation/paraphrase makes it accessible to young readers, who should certainly be instructed to read this book given its continued influence on Western culture. The work culminates with Adam's dispair being turned to hope through a vision of the coming Messiah, the true hero of the work and, again, wonderfully portrayed.

John Milton's overwhelming masterpiece, Paradise Lost -- all 10,565 brain-busting lines of it, transformed into simple, everyday language, the kind you and I speak and understand. Milton's original poem is on each left hand page, and the simple, Plain English translation is across from it on the right. Corresponding numbered lines on both versions make for easy comparison.
