Le paradis perdu, poeme. traduit de l'anglais, en vers francais. tome 1

John Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, who are motivated by all too human temptations but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love.Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition, Paradise Lost is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years, it has held generation upon generation of audiences in rapt attention, and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.

Le Paradis perdu

Le Paradis perdu, composé par Milton en 1667 dans la détresse et la cécité, demeure le grand poème épique de la littérature anglaise. Ce poème en douze livres conte la chute de Satan qui, pour se venger de sa déchéance, va corrompre Adam et Eve, les créatures de Dieu, qui seront chassés du Paradis. En 1836, Chateaubriand en fait paraître une traduction intégrale, extrêmement fidèle, digne de ce chef-d'oeuvre. Dans ses "Remarques sur la traduction" qui précèdent le texte même du Paradis perdu, Chateaubriand révèle les principes qui l'ont guidé dans son travail de traducteur. Enfin, les notes établies par Claude Mouchard éclairent nombre des allusions - bibliques, mythologiques, littéraires, scientifiques - que renferme le poème.

Le paradis perdu

Beginning with the story of Satan after he was expelled from Heaven along with his followers, Paradise Lost details Satan's journey to the Garden of Eden and his intent to destroy God's new creation. The poem also depicts the perspectives of both Adam and Eve, examining their personalities and motivations before and after Eve's fateful temptation. After publishing Paradise Lost, author John Milton was immediately recognized and lauded as one of the greatest English poets. Paradise Lost has since influenced numerous poets and writers, including many of the Romantics, William Blake, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and T. S. Eliot.
