015 - Book Eight Part 1

from Paradise Lost · host John Milton

Dive into Paradise Lost, the groundbreaking epic that marks the dawn of English literature in its classical form. John Milton, inspired by the greats like Homer, Virgil, and Dante, endeavored to craft a masterpiece that embodies the core principles of the Protestant faith. This remarkable poem, dictated from memory and transcribed by his daughter, stands as one of the most profound works in the English canon. Join us as we explore the original 1667 edition, featuring ten books, a format distinct from the later 1674 edition which restructured it into twelve books, reminiscent of Virgils Aeneid.

Headline Books Headline Publishing As a boy, Nathan Penlington had loved Choose Your Own Adventures, the literary phenomenon of the 1980s which thrust the reader into the role of main character and compelled them to make decisions and direct the flow of the story. So, when he discovered a job lot of the first 106 adventures for sale on eBay, there was never any question that he would place a bid. When the books arrived, he lost himself in the old adventures.Yet, as he flicked through the pages, there was another story being written - for, in the margins of each book, were the scribblings of the little boy who had once owned them, a little boy by the name of Terence John Prendergast. In the margins of the books, Terence wrote jokes, hints for adventurers following the same stories as him - and, more troubling still, intimations of a tormented childhood: of the boys and teachers who had bullied him; of the things he hated about himself and had to improve; of his thoughts of suicide and his desperate need to find friends U.R.N.
