Paradise Lost & Paradise Regained by John Milton

Here in one volume are the complete texts of two of the greatest poems of our language. The first, Paradise Lost, narrates the revolt of Satan and his banishment from Heaven, and the fall of man and his expulsion from Eden. The second, Paradise Regained, explores man's regaining of grace through the sacrifice of Christ. The struggle between Satan and God, between rebellion and authority, between human pride and submission, charge the core of this spiritual drama in which the poet's own final attitude emerges as a deeply ambivalent one. Cover designed by Milton Glaser.
