失樂園：Paradise Lost（英文版）

這世界上絕大多數(shù)人即便不是基督徒，相信也都聽說過亞當(dāng)、夏娃和伊甸園的故事。其實(shí)，真正將《圣經(jīng)·舊約》中只有500字的簡(jiǎn)單敘事內(nèi)容賦予氣勢(shì)宏偉的語言和曲折離奇的情節(jié)，并使之成為一部史詩巨作的，是17世紀(jì)英國(guó)著名詩人約翰·密爾頓，這部鴻篇巨著名曰《失樂園》。約翰·密爾頓（1608—1674）是英國(guó)文學(xué)史上最偉大的六大詩人之一，他的無韻體史詩《失樂園》與荷馬的《荷馬史詩》、但丁的《神曲》（“最經(jīng)典英語文庫(kù)”已經(jīng)分三冊(cè)出版面世）并稱為西方三大詩歌?！妒穲@》這部史詩描寫了這樣的故事情節(jié)：魔鬼撒旦逃離了地牢，來到上帝為人類始祖亞當(dāng)和夏娃建立的伊甸園，誘惑他們偷吃了區(qū)分善惡樹的禁果。他們無知并墮落，引發(fā)上帝震怒。一氣之下，上帝將亞當(dāng)和夏娃逐出了伊甸園。他們兩人的行為，成為人類原罪的起源，并因此導(dǎo)致死亡、痛苦、饑荒、瘟疫在地球上泛濫。然而，上帝并沒有趕盡殺絕，而是賜予了人類救贖的機(jī)會(huì)，差遣耶穌基督做救贖，使人類可以通過堅(jiān)韌的信念和誠(chéng)心的悔改重新回歸樂園。
