Contained in this volume are two great works by the English Poet John Milton, «Paradise Lost» and «Paradise Regained». Milton's «Paradise Lost» is considered to be one of the most classic epic poems ever written. It is a retelling of the biblical story of the Genesis of man, of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and of how Eve when tempted by Satan disobeyed God and ate from the tree of knowledge. Written in 1667, «Paradise Lost» is a poetic and intriguing interpretation of ancient biblical legend. Following the fall of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden in Milton's «Paradise Lost», Milton turns his attention to the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness by Satan in «Paradise Regained». In this work, a sequel to «Paradise Lost», Satan tests Jesus in a similar way to Eve in the Garden of Eden. However, Jesus is not seduced by the promises of Satan and passes his test. «Paradise Regained» is a poetic and intriguing tale that follows along in the spirit of Milton's masterpiece «Paradise Lost».
