失乐园

    《失乐园》这部史诗描写了这样的故事情节:魔鬼撒旦逃离了地牢，来到上帝为人类始祖亚当和夏娃建立的伊甸园，诱惑他们偷吃了区分善恶树的禁果。他们无知并堕落，引发上帝震怒。一气之下，上帝将亚当和夏娃逐出了伊甸园。他们两人的行为，成为人类原罪的起源，并因此导致死亡、痛苦、饥荒、瘟疫在地球上泛滥。然而，上帝并没有赶尽杀绝，而是赐予了人类救赎的机会，差遣耶稣基督做救赎价，使人类可以通过坚韧的信念和诚心的悔改重新回归乐园。

John Milton       John Milton (9 December 1608-8 November 1674) was an English poet, polemicist, and man of letters, and a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under       Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost (1667), written in blank verse.       Milton’s poetry and prose reflect deep personal convictions, a passion for freedom and self-determination, and the urgent issues and political turbulence of his day. Writing in English, Latin, Greek, and Italian, he achieved international renown within his lifetime. Samuel Johnson praised Paradise Lost as “a poem which...with respect to design may claim the first place, and with respect to performance, the second, among the productions of the human mind”.
