English poet, John Milton, first published Paradise Lost in 1667, a sweeping epic poem about the biblical story, “The Fall of Man.” Roughly 200 years later, Gustave Doré illustrated his vision of fallen angels, Satan’s banishment to Tartarus, and the corruption of Adam and Eve.
Young and old readers alike will find themselves lost in Paradise Lost with Doré’s spectacular imagery. Doré’s cinematic vision of epic battles and tender romantic scenes played against intricate background details makes this book one of his most exciting. His illustrations of forests and mountain scenes are particularly impressive, enhanced and digitally restored from a rare Altemus’ Edition print.
