Paradise Lost: A Faithful Modern English Retelling

By Ald, John Milton, Ruah Selene Kadesh-Vale

Paradise Lost stands among the greatest works of Western literature, yet for many readers, its seventeenth-century language has made it difficult to approach.

This faithful modern-English retelling preserves the theology, narrative structure, and moral philosophy of John Milton's original epic while presenting it in clear, accessible prose for contemporary readers. Every book of the poem has been carefully rendered to reflect Milton's intent, arguments, and imagery, without paraphrase, commentary, or modern reinterpretation.

Readers will encounter: The rebellion of Satan and the fall from HeavenThe creation of the world and humanityThe temptation and fall of Adam and EveThe long arc of human history, suffering, and redemptionThe promise of deliverance through obedience, faith, and graceThis edition is designed for: Readers encountering Paradise Lost for the first timeStudents and general readers seeking clarity without loss of substanceThose who value classical wisdom but require modern languageAnyone who believes great ideas deserve to remain readableThis is not a simplified version of Milton, but a bridge across centuries, honoring the original work while restoring its voice to modern ears.
