Paradise Lost and Paradise RegainedHere in one volume are the complete texts of two of the greatest -and most controversial -epic poems in English literature, each a profound exploration of the moral problems of God's justice.

It leaves readers with no choice but to commit themselves totally with their minds and with their hearts. |
