Paradise Lost & Paradise Regained

Another book that was required reading in High School... way "back in the day." It's always nice to re-read the "required reading" books when they are no longer required, and you can read them at leisure. Although the stories in these two books are not entirely Biblically backed up, they would explain a few things. It is said that Milton studied the Bible and knew a great deal of the Scriptures. I have no knowledge of where he might have gotten the ideas for the portions that are not from the King James Bible, or perhaps these were simply literary indulgence. There are many Scriptures and letters that did not make the cut to become part of our Bible. Perhaps he found some of his ideas in some of these; just speculation.

Great copy, unbeatable price.

Masterful. A great and poetic rendering of Genesis and The Gospels. Every Christian should read it. Download the copy. It would be worth your time.

If you are not familiar with Paradise Lost I suggest you be an astute reader before taking on the quest of reading John Milton. My first read in high school required cliff notes to get through it - mostly due to the fact that I had no knowledge of Greek Mythology so some references were lost on me. It's a classic so I feel like it should be read, even if long. People have no attention span today and this requires one. Amazed at how such a long story can be written in verse, just amazed.

What arrogance it would be to judge Milton's great work as anything less than stellar! This work has had as much influence on English literature as Shakespeare. While Milton's theology may not be agreeable to all, certainly our common view of heaven and hell, as English speakers, is shaped as much by "Paradise" as the Bible.

Came as date specified, arrived in great condition, wonderful value edition. Arrived nicely wrapped and I'm very pleased.

Excellent reading material

A great classic in great shape after a quick delivery. A winner on all accounts

Just buy any other version, this book is so poorly made you'd expect to see it in a children's library donation. The outer cover curls up beyond the height of the book, the pages are on some sort of cheap construction paper, the entire back of the book is completely misaligned...Sadly my phone's camera would make the colours pop too much to convey this, but even the colouring used is so dark it appears almost uniform black to the naked eye.Do yourself a favour, just buy a different copy of this book as I will be doing.

Excellent book, please note this is "Paradise Lost, Regained" this one follows on after "Paradise lost"Can't put it down once you start to read it

I bought this epic poem because I needed it for my A Levels, it's a set text. The book had the abstracts in yet no line numbers for reference. I found it hard to use and quote specific parts of the text as I found myself counting for the line numbers and labeling them myself. After I couldn't take it anymore, I bought a new one. The poem itself it's fine. For the price I paid, I wasn't too upset but for me, the line numbers are essential.

The Book itself, physically, seems fine as a paperback, and was good value. No idea how accurately its trascribed from the original. I'm interested to read it as a classic, but its hard going!

I DID'NT DISLIKE ANYTHING ABOUT THE BOOK. VERY GOOD VALUE FOR A GOOD READ.
