This timeless epic, now enriched with 20 captivating illustrations, invites readers to explore the profound depths of rebellion, redemption, and the human condition.
In the beginning, there was only Heaven and the newly created Earth. It was here that Satan, once the brightest angel, led a failed rebellion against God, only to be cast down into Hell. From the fiery depths, Satan vows revenge, setting his sights on God's newest and most beloved creation: Man. What follows is a cunning plot to lead humanity astray, culminating in the tragic fall of Adam and Eve. This act of disobedience alters the course of destiny and marks the beginning of mankind's struggle between virtue and sin.
