Dell'uom la prima colpa e del vietato Arbor ferale il malgustato frutto, Che l'Eden ci rapì, che fu di morte E d'ogni male apportator nel mondo, Finchè un Uomo divin l'alto racquisto Fa del seggio beato e a noi lo rende, Canta, o Musa del ciel; tu che del Sina dell'Orebbe in sul romito giogo Inspirasti il pastor che primo instrusse...

Scendi, Urania, dal ciel, scendi, se questo Nome a te si convien, la cui divina Voce soave accompagnando, io m'ergo Sopra l'Olimpio monte ed oltre il volo Delle Pegásee favolose penne. Un vôto nome io non invoco, ed una Di quelle nove imaginate suore Non sei per me, nè dell'Olimpo in vetta La tua dimora è già: tu quella sei...

Spirito che fa il Prologo. Di Giove innanzi alla stellata soglia. Nella reggia celeste, ove immortali Splendide forme in placida regione D'aria calma e serena, in bei drappelli Sen stanno, è pur la mia magion. Di questo Loco ingombro di tenebre e d'orrore, Che l'uom nomina Terra, a noi giammai

¿Paradise Lost concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man. The epic poem follows two narrative arcs, one about Satan and the other following Adam and Eve. It begins after Satan and the other rebel angels have been defeated and banished to Hell. The narrative follows the temptation of Adam and Eve by Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. After losing the total freedom and power to rule over all creation, Archangel Michael gives Adam a glimpse at Mankind's potential redemption from original sin.Paradise Lost is an epic poem by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. Milton's 17th-century contemporaries by and large criticised his ideas and considered him as a radical, mostly because of his views on politics and religion. Milton also revolted against the idea of a monarch ruling by divine right, viewing the practice as idolatrous. Paradise Lost is considered by critics to be Milton's major work, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time.

Este primer libro contiene, en breves palabras, la exposición o asunto de todo el Poema: La Desobediencia del Hombre; y como consecuencia de ella, la pérdida del Paraíso donde moraba. Indícase también que el primer móvil de su caída fue la Serpiente o más bien Satanás, personificado en ella; el cual, rebelándose contra Dios y atrayendo a su partido numerosas legiones de ángeles fue, por disposición divina, arrojado del cielo y precipitado con toda su hueste al profundo abismo. Terminada esta exposición el poema prescinde de los demás antecedentes y representa a Satanás con sus ángeles sumidos ya en el infierno, que se describe aquí no como si estuviese situado en el centro del mundo (porque debe suponerse que ni el cielo ni la tierra existían aún y por tanto no podían ser mansión de réprobos) sino en un lugar de extrañas tinieblas, llamado más propiamente caos. Lanzado allí, Satanás con todos los suyos, en medio de un lago ardiente herido del rayo y anonadado vuelve por fin en sí como al despertar de un sueño, llama al que yace junto a él, que es su segundo en poder y jerarquía, y ambos discurren sobre su miserable estado. Evoca el príncipe infernal a todas sus legiones, hasta entonces tan abatidas como él.

Paradies verloren ist die Geschichte vom biblischen Sündenfall. Ab dem ersten Vers strebt dieses spiegelbildlich zweigeteilte Epos in zwölf Büchern dem Akt des ersten Ungehorsams zu. Wird im ersten Teil vom Zustand vor der Erschaffung der Welt erzählt und in einer Rückschau vom Geschehen, das zu Satans Sturz führte, so wird im zweiten Teil von den Ereignissen berichtet, die zum Fall der Menschen führen, und in einer Vorschau von der Geschichte nach dem Sündenfall. In heiterer Aufbruchstimmung werden Adam und Eva in eine Welt losziehen, die vom freien Willen bestimmt ist. John Milton, der seine Dichtung nicht nur neben die Schöpfungsgeschichte stellte, sondern diese auch zu korrigieren wagte, will göttliche Vorsehung begründen: Aus Bösem entsteht Gutes. Er bricht in seinem großen Gesang mit allen Regeln seiner Zeit, lässt vertrauten Satzbau und alle »Fron des Reimens« hinter sich. Der Held mit perfidem Plan heißt zunächst: Satan, der Widersacher mit inzestuöser Familiengeschichte, personifiziert in Sünde und Tod und in seinem Gefolge Moloch, Belial, Mammon, Beelzebub. Miltons Satan ist ein tragischer und deshalb sympathischer Held voller Selbstzweifel, der mit seinem Engelsheer heroisch gegen die göttliche Tyrannei rebelliert und durchs Chaos reist, um sein schlangenlistiges Verführungswerk zu vollführen. Paradies verloren.

One of the earliest written works on the idea of freedom of speech and freedom of the press is John Milton's Areopagitica. It was written as a statement of opposition against the censoring of printed literature. Milton's main contention is that while censorship may be carried out under morally righteous pretexts, it may also serve as a gateway for abuse of government authority.Milton stated that people shouldn't be subject to punishment by the state just because they published debatable content. Milton avoided discussing whether or whether legislation pertaining to press freedom is constitutional. Instead, he made an effort to demonstrate how press and censorship regulations may be misused. His arguments were logical rather than legalistic in nature.Sir Thomas Milton criticized the Licensing Order of 1643 in 1643. He claimed that it was problematic to require book licenses before they were widely circulated. After their first work was licensed, it forbade writers from ever altering or extending it. It prevented the dissemination of fresh and original thoughts or viewpoints on a subject. Books that should have been censored were released despite some erroneous censoring.The Licensing Order may have resulted in the prohibition of many religious texts. Censorship, according to Milton, is incompatible with nationalism and patriotism.

John Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language! It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, who are motivated by all too human temptations but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love. Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition, Paradise Lost is a book epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years, it has held generation upon generation of audiences in rapt attention, and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.

Milton's masque Comus, first performed at Ludlow Castle in 1634, is an exploration of how to live: should we submit to our base animal instincts, however enjoyable the experience, or instead apply sophisticated human values and morals to our existence and interaction with others. Milton comes down firmly in favour of the latter approach, but presents well-stated and persuasive counter-arguments for the former, in an engaging and magical entertainment.Also included in this edition are Milton's early poems Ode on the Morning of Christ's Nativity, Lycidas, L'Allegro and Il Penseroso.
