Sinopse

Paradise Regained by John Milton is a poem by English poet John Milton, first published in 1671. The volume in which it appeared also contained the poet's closet drama Samson Agonistes.

Paradise Regained is connected by name to his earlier and more famous epic poem Paradise Lost, with which it shares similar theological themes; indeed, its title, its use of blank verse, and its progression through Christian history recall the earlier work. However, this effort deals primarily with the temptation of Christ as recounted in the Gospel of Luke.

Milton composed Paradise Regained at his cottage in Chalfont St Giles in Buckinghamshire.

Paradise Regained is four books long and comprises 2,065 lines; in contrast, Paradise Lost is twelve books long and comprises 10,565 lines. As such, Barbara K. Lewalski has labelled the work a "brief epic".

    "This is simply extraordinary writing, laced with wonder and devastation…" Joanna Klink
    A sequel to her T. S. Eliot Prize shortlisted Erato, Deryn Rees-Jones' remarkable new collection sees her returning to ongoing preoccupations: the complexities of memory and memorialisation, desire and the body, and poetry's place in a hostile world.
    The book begins with a woman checking into Hôtel Amour, a space both real and imagined, in the heart of Paris. This is a hallucinatory city where surreal symbols loom large: the hotel's pink neon sign, elephants, doubles, and lost pairings. A bloody heart lies in the street, books concertina into song, and everywhere is the ever-present noise of birds.
    Playful, and moving by turn, Hôtel Amour experiments with fragmented narrative and poetic form, creating a breathing space for a multilayered and powerful meditation on illness, love and time. Hôtel Amour's fierce and formidable exploration of 'the now' and its many ghostly literary pasts, is the work of a poet at the height of her powers as she asks us to listen, and explore our human capacity for transformation and for hope.

    The life and career of a Poet is often thought of as musing at a desk, or lying in a meadow, or on long journeys to find inspiration for their next masterwork.  But more often than not a poet was a part-time profession in subservient submission to their actual, salary-paying job.   
    In this volume we bring together those professionals whose services we require when our health falters.  Their skills and manner guide us through the sometimes difficult journey back to restored vigour.  In their clever use of words and verse they are equally adept.

    Enjoy this captivating journey into the life and poetry of Robert Frost, as his dear friend and farmhand, Carl Burell, shares stories about Rob with the people of Derry, New Hampshire at the Derry Centennial Celebration of 1927. 
    This fictional reenactment provides an enlightening and entertaining look inside the early years of Robert Frost through the eyes of his childhood friend, farming mentor and hired hand. Carl’s intimate view provides a unique perspective on Frost’s life as a novice farmer among the people of Derry, whom Frost freely appropriated in much of his poetry. As he reflects, Carl muses on his own appearance in some of Frost’s poems, and the manner in which the poet transformed his experiences on a hardscrabble New England farm into revered, monetized literature. Along the way, Carl also reads many of his favorite Frost poems, masterfully capturing the transcendent power of these enduring masterpieces in his native voice. 
    For lovers of poetry, Frost enthusiasts, teachers and students, The Rob I Knew is a unique and absorbing way to explore and appreciate one of our great American poets. 
    Eric Copenhaver, author and performer of this compelling audiobook, is a displaced New Hampshire native and lifelong Frost devotee—who is delighted to be channeling the colorful Carl Burell.
