Intimidated by bigger books and longer reads? Are you interested in the classics and want to talk about them? Join us for a chapter by chapter discussion on John Milton's Paradise Lost.
"Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton (1608–1674). It is considered to be Milton's major work, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time. The poem concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden."
In this discussion, we'll be talking about books five through nine of Milton's Paradise Lost. Registration required. Limited to 8 participants. Pick up your free copy of the text at the Adult Services Desk.
