About this listen
The highly-acclaimed BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of Milton's epic poem telling the story of the fall of man and also its sequel, Paradise Regained.
Out of chaos shall come order and out of darkness shall come light. Paradise is lost - and then regained.
John Milton's epic, biblically-inspired poems are wonderfully dramatised for BBC Radio starring Denis Quilley as Milton, Ian McDiarmid as Satan and Robert Glenister as Christ, enhanced by specially composed music.
First published in 1667, Paradise Lost describes Satan's plot to ruin God's new and most favoured creation, Mankind, and recounts the temptation of Adam and Eve and their banishment from the Garden of Eden.
Paradise Regained, published in 1671, tells of the temptation of Christ by Satan as he wanders in the wilderness for 40 days and nights.

Better than reading but still dry and difficult
I couldn't say the experience was effortless listening to this book. I have never been able to read the book due to it being too dry and difficult to understand. Listening to this professionally narrated version was a way easier pill to swallow. But the added difficulty of adding speed to the narrative meant my comprehension went way down. Also some of the over theatrical dialogue made me tune out. Even still I am greatful for the existence of easier methods of this book.

Enlivening telling of a classic
I have always wanted to read “Paradise Lost” and “Paradise Regained” but was either too time poor or uninterested to read Milton’s verse. This version had me engaged and iterates the importance of epic poetry as a form that needs to be heard.
