A Requiem for Love Ever since Milton’s Paradise Lost was first published in 1667, it has been an enduring classic, which has been acclaimed by thousands as a brilliant piece of literature. Not many years ago, Calvin Miller wrote a book titled A Requiem for Love, based on Milton’s classic. Miller’s book is one of the best books of all time and is a classic in its own right. This review is an attempt to prove this point. One of the reasons why A Requiem for Love is such a good remake of Paradise Lost is because of its literary style and wonderful poetic prose. It remains true to the old version, yet is flexible enough to use different wording and examples. All these traits make it a powerful narrative as well as a page-turner from the very start. The story begins at creation. The narrative is moving and compelling as it takes the reader through a spiral of events which eventually lead to Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the garden. The book chronicles the death of innocence after man disobeyed, but also reveals God’s plan to redeem the world. Though man has failed the test of obedience, God will send a Mediator to save the world, namely Christ. The epic ends looking forward to the coming Redeemer: “One day, beloved world, one day!” This book is definitely one of the best books of all time. It is a very well-rounded tale of love, sin, and redemption. It speaks of God’s plan to save the world from sin and death in order to begin a new creation. Publisher: W Pub Group |
