Capolavoro della letteratura inglese, di John Milton, pubblicato nel 1667, questo poema epico scritto in versi sciolti racconta l'episodio della caduta degli angeli ribelli e la cacciata dell'uomo dal paradiso terrestre.

In the beginning of Paradise Lost, Satan has ben banished to Hell and is working to organize the angels who fell with him and create his new kingdom. While a constant angelic war rages, Satan begins to wield his influence on the first humans created on Earth, and soon tempts them into defying God by using wit and logic to tempt Eve. The actions get Adam and Eve banished from paradise, and in the aftermath of their sin they get to glimpse the future of humanity based on their actions.
