HarperCollins is proud to present its new series of beloved, essential classic works.

Milton's "Paradise Lost" is a poem of epic proportions that recounts Satan's efforts to tempt Eve to disobey God in the Garden of Eden by eating from the tree of knowledge. His interpretation of the biblical story of Genesis is vivid and intense in its language, justifying God's actions toward humans. In his subsequent poem, "Paradise Regained," Milton shows Satan trying to tempt Jesus in a similar way as he did with Eve, but ultimately fails as Jesus remains steadfast.
