I would say that, wouldn'I, and I have read the one that is ostensibly in development in Hollywood. Our script has been going round Hollywood for two years but because we are English / British with no major contacts it is very frustrating. It is in fact a trilogy which covers Before Time (Paradise Lost), Our Time (Paradise Forgotten) and After Time (Paradise Regained)because it is the one story that applies to all humanity. Virtually every culture has Satan in it representing evil - Christian, Muslim, Hindu to name just 3 religions which account for 4bn people - because it is the ultimate story of how evil came into world, and the eternal battle between good and evil began. It required a genuis like John Milton to write the poem that still inspires and gives us a sense of awe even today. Amazing!! Makes Lord of the Rings looks a like a kiddies fight!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959297.post-1130341062262010752005-10-26T11:37:00.000-04:002005-10-26T11:37:00.000-04:00well, now I need to read paradise lost.

I can hardly think of any other novelist whose works so much make me think "this is a man writing for men."Jenny Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295436498255927522noreply@blogger.com
