Paradise Lost

In this epic work, John Milton seeks “to justify the ways of God to men” through the familiar Christian myth of the fall from grace. The poem is imbued with Milton’s profoundly individual view of man’s place in the universe and his intellectual and spiritual quest for redemption in the face of despair. This unique clothbound edition includes its own slipcase and all fifty of the magnificent engravings produced by Gustave Dore especially for the work.
