Description: "Paradise Lost" by John Milton published by Odyssey Press 1935. Illustrated frontispiece. Paradise Lost takes the basic framework from the Bible story of Adam and Eve and adds Milton's own interpretation in the form of detailed characters and plots. This poem tells the rest of this story and imagines the couple's reactions to the events that led to them being expelled from the Garden of Eden. 422 pages with a detailed index. This book was originally banned by the Catholic Church for reasons lost in history. Much of Milton's story is not politically correct by today's standards. It has been rewritten and even purged from book stores and school libraries but that is what helps make this a very fun book to refreshing book to read. Not boring predictable like most of today's books. John Milton (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) was an English poet, polemicist, and civil servant. His book Paradise Lost was written in blank verse in 1667. It included twelve books and was written in a time of immense religious change and political social unrest. Highly recommended book. Hard to find in this current cancel culture where libraries, schools and bookstores have been purged of antiquarian books especially by authors like John Milton.This rare book from 1935 is a hardcover edition of John Milton's epic poem, Paradise Lost. Written in English, this literary masterpiece is a must-have for collectors and fans of literature and fiction. This book belongs to my brother who worked for Harley Davidson in the 1980's.
