"Paradise Lost" by John Milton is an epic poem that delves into the biblical story of the Fall of Man, deftly exploring themes of temptation, sin, and redemption. With majestic language and sweeping imagery, Milton recounts the rebellious uprising of Satan and his angels against God, their subsequent exile to Hell, and Satan's sinister plot leading to the downfall of Adam and Eve in Eden. This monumental work not only illuminates the human condition but also wrestles with questions of free will, divine justice, and the struggle between good and evil.

John Milton (1608–1674) is considered to be among the most learned of all English poets. After graduating from Cambridge, Milton undertook six years of self-directed study in theology, philosophy, history, politics, literature, and science. He then spent several years writing pamphlets for the Puritan and Parliamentary causes. His incessant labors setting the typeface eventually led to blindness. His masterpiece, Paradise Lost, was composed in memory and dictated to a scribe.
