John Milton (1608-1674) spent his early years in scholarly pursuit. In 1649 he took up the cause for the new Commonwealth, defending the English revolution both in English and Latin - and sacrificing his eyesight in the process. He risked his lifeby publishing The Ready and Easy Way to Establish a Free Commonwealth on the eve of the Restoration (1660). His great poems were published after this political defeat.
John Leonard is a Professor of English at the University of Western Ontario.

这部书的伟大就不讲了,想谈谈读完这本书之后的感受。有很多问题盘旋在脑中,一直不断发问不断辩驳。 文章共有两条线索:一是撒旦叛乱,二是亚当夏娃偷食禁果。 所有一切事件的前提是上帝富裕了万事万物自由意志,无论“作恶还是行善都是藉意志的自由选择”。 但撒旦还是...
评分《如何阅读一本书》的作者认为有六部作品是有要求的读者必须要看的,至少每一个优秀的诗人或是作家都是这六部作品的读者。首先是《圣经》,然后是五部史诗作品:荷马《伊利亚特》、《奥德赛》,维吉尔史诗《埃涅阿斯纪》,但丁《神曲》,最后的史诗就是弥尔顿的《失乐园》...
评分“或许亚当就是坠入如此厄运,了解善恶,即是说,知恶以知善,”弥尔顿在《论出版自由》中写道。通过了解邪恶来尝试了解善良,有人会说这是勇敢之举,光需要影的反衬,但那是一个谎言——弥尔顿知道这点,于是他说“如此厄运”,如此忧伤。《失乐园》里装满他的虔诚、学识,哀...
评分版式设计,装帧,纸型,手感都上佳。 阅读时携带轻便,不像某些书死沉死沉能当板儿砖使。 近年来广西师大出版社的确下了番功夫,在纸质图书上从其他媒介收复了不少阵地。 原本弥尔顿的无韵诗翻译得倒也顺畅,选词也确实独到。 只是把大天使米迦勒翻译成了迈克尔。。。。 ma, ...

John Milton's celebrated epic poem exploring the cosmological, moral and spiritual origins of man's existence, Paradise Lost has been fully revised with an introduction by John Leonard in Penguin Classics.
In Paradise Lost Milton produced poem of epic scale, conjuring up a vast, awe-inspiring cosmos and ranging across huge tracts of space and time, populated by a memorable gallery of grotesques. And yet, in putting a charismatic Satan and naked, innocent Adam and Eve at the centre of this story, he also created an intensely human tragedy on the Fall of Man.
Written when Milton was in his fifties - blind, bitterly disappointed by the Restoration and in danger of execution - Paradise Lost's apparent ambivalence towards authority has led to intense debate about whether it manages to 'justify the ways of God to men', or exposes the cruelty of Christianity.
John Leonard's revised edition of Paradise Lost contains full notes, which elucidates Milton's biblical, classical and historical allusions and discuss his vivid, highly original use of language and blank verse.
哎呀之前居然没标过弥老师,失敬失敬……其实应该五星的,不过弥老师屌癌还是要扣一分。
评分A blurred pre- and postlapsarian reading of Christian stories (Eden), as well as embedded political critiques (thru Satan and Eve etc). Personally not my favorite only b/c too well-versed to read.
评分What is the difference between God and devil? What is the difference between man and angel? What is free will, if anything, predicted by God? What is fall, if anything, begetting us? For me paradise lost is more than an epic poem, but a myth left by the greatest English poet ever.
评分我一个暴哭!!!抱着不一定读得懂的心态开始 最后居然完全舍不得结束.........觉得最有意思的是Satan和堕落之后的Adam&Eve: I must be totally fallen then哈哈哈(真的超级好看出乎意料的好看我要向全世界安利!!!!)
评分A mind not to be chang'd by Place or Time. The mind is its own place, and in it self Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n. //Awake, arise, or be forever fall’n (Book 1, line 330) // Nor grateful Evening mild; nor silent Night With this her solemn bird; nor walk by moon, Or glittering star-light without thee is sweet. (Book IV, 652)
