內容簡介
Paradise Lost 《失樂園》John Milton
 
米爾頓的「失樂園」取材自聖經的「創世紀」敘述天國中魔鬼的叛亂、對神的抗爭、帶領天使逃亡以及人類祖先亞當、夏娃被逐出天堂樂園的悲壯史詩。
 
《失樂園》是十七世紀英國詩人米爾頓晚期三大詩作之一。內容敘述魔鬼撒旦發動天國叛變,被基督打落地獄;他為了要達成復仇的心願,無懼於艱險的路程,長途跋涉來到上帝創造的新世界,並潛入伊甸園中,誘惑人類的始祖亞當和夏娃犯下偷吃禁果的罪行。之後,人類被趕出伊甸園,除了要自行謀生,且必須以死亡和堅貞的信仰來求得救贖;而撒旦與其黨羽,不但報不了仇,且沉淪在更黑暗的深淵裡。

 

Part of the Norton Library series

The Norton Library edition of Paradise Lost features the complete text of the second (1674) edition, the last published during Milton’s lifetime, edited for the modern reader by Stephen B. Dobranski. An introduction by Dobranski discusses the epic’s innovations and its historical and religious contexts, illuminating for a new generation of readers the author’s radically ambitious undertaking to “justify the ways of God to men.”

The Norton Library is a growing collection of high-quality texts and translations―influential works of literature and philosophy―introduced and edited by leading scholars. Norton Library editions prepare readers for their first encounter with the works that they’ll re-read over a lifetime.

  • Inviting introductions highlight the work’s significance and influence, providing the historical and literary context students need to dive in with confidence.
  • Endnotes and an easy-to-read design deliver an uninterrupted reading experience, encouraging students to read the text first and refer to endnotes for more information as needed.
  • An affordable price (most $10 or less) encourages students to buy the book and to come to class with the assigned edition.
