But it was not until Jacob Tonson republished Paradise Lost for the fourth time in 1688 that it reached a wide public.
Between 1770 and 1825, there were 60 separate editions of Paradise Lost, and scores of drawings, paintings, frescoes and engravings inspired by it.
Blake's treatment of Satan is in certain ways similar to Mary Shelley's in Frankenstein, which was first illustrated in 1831, and which again draws strongly on Paradise Lost.

 The Way to Paradise - Mario Vargas Llosa
The Way to Paradise is told in alternating chapters, eleven each devoted to the stories of Flora Tristán (1803-1844) and the grandson she never knew, French painter Paul Gaugin.
She eventually became a fervent social activist, and the chapters in The Way to Paradise follow her through France between April and November, 1844, as she tries to win support for her cause.
While The Way to Paradise manages to convey something of what Gaugin and his grandmother had done to break free from the narrow molds of the societies they came from, the novel itself isn't daring enough in how these stories are related.

 Amazon.ca: The Way to Paradise : A Novel: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Mario Vargas Llosa is one of my favorite writers and I thought THE FEAST OF THE GOAT was masterful, so I was very eager to read THE WAY TO PARADISE, especially since I love the work of Paul Gauguin.
Although I would have preferred a book about Gauguin only, THE WAY TO PARADISE is made up of narratives that concern themselves with the life of Gauguin and the life of his grandmother, Flora Tristan, the illegitimate daughter of a Peruvian man and a French woman.
THE WAY TO PARADISE is far from being a biography of Gauguin, which is what I think a lot of readers are going to expect.

 Guardian Unlimited Books | By genre | Review: The Way to Paradise by Mario Vargas Llosa
His putative paradise was not quite as simple as he imagined.
There is some ironic fl comedy along the way - Tristan instigated a farcical competition to compose a new anti-bourgeois national anthem, which suggests that as well as her innovative, pre-Marxist form of socialism, she might also be credited with inventing the Eurovision Song Contest.
The Way to Paradise is similarly concerned with the collision between the civilised and the barbaric worlds - and lest Gauguin appear too much of a romantic hero, Vargas Llosa revealingly notes in his description of the genesis of Manao Tupapau that "for an instant, while sodomising Teha'mana, he felt like a savage".

Ultimately both are searching for "the way to Paradise", one looking for her paradise in the future and an egalitarian world, the other in his art and an idealised Tahitian past.
The main point to alternating chapters and protagonists, as with the use of plots and subplots in mysteries, is to eventually knot the two disparate threads together.
But to my mind the best parts of the novel are the embedded essays, whether on the allure of the primitive or the conditions of life in Peru in the 1840s or the theories of Charles Fourier:

 BookkooB : The Way to Paradise - Mario Vargas Llosa : Compare Book Prices
In The Way to Paradise, MVL uses a variation on this narrative device that I found very irritating, one where the narrator occasionally steps in to give unnecessary advice to the characters or to ask obvious rhetorical questions (usually in parentheses) of them.
MVL is a dazzling technician and storyteller, and on his day and in other books has used this device to great effect, but in The Way to Paradise it's merely confusing.

Admittedly, like several of Vargas Llosa's more recent books, The Way to Paradise is less intricate, less given to baroque elaboration, than some of his earlier work, particularly The War of the End of the World (1981).
He hoped to discover in the South Seas a way of life free from the corruption and venality of Europe, and above all from the corrosive influence of institutionalised Christianity.
He was seeking remnants of the old way of life - among other things, cannibalism and tolerance of mahus (men-women) - while executing those strange paintings, with their mysterious figures, vivid colours and celebration of paganism (though never entirely free of Christian overtones) on which his posthumous fame and notoriety came to rest.
