Conocida como la primera novela de C. S. Lewis, esta elocuente, erudita y a menudo ingeniosa sátira de la filosofía contemporánea sigue siendo relevante más de 90 años después. Siguiendo el modelo del famoso Progreso del peregrino de John Bunyan, El regreso del peregrino de C. S. Lewis representa una serie de primicias para Lewis: el primer libro que escribió tras su conversión al cristianismo, su primer libro de ficción y el primer libro que publicó con su propio nombre. En cierto sentido, es el registro de la propia búsqueda de Lewis de sentido y satisfacción espiritual, una búsqueda que finalmente le condujo al cristianismo. Esta es la historia del peregrino Juan y su odisea hacia una isla encantadora que ha creado en él un intenso anhelo; un misterioso y dulce deseo. La persecución de este deseo por parte de Juan le lleva a través de aventuras con personas como el Sr. Ilustración, Media Media, el Sr. Mamón, el Sr. Sensato y el Sr. Humanista, y a través de lugares como el Valle de la Humillación. Aunque aquí los dragones y los gigantes son distintos de los de El progreso del peregrino de Bunyan, la alegoría de Lewis cumple la misma función de permitir al autor decir de forma sencilla y mediante la fantasía lo que de otro modo habría exigido una filosofía de la religión en toda regla. La alegoría de Lewis sigue siendo una ingeniosa sátira de las modas culturales, un vívido relato de los peligros espirituales y una historia iluminadora para generaciones de antiguos y nuevos peregrinos. The Pilgrim's Regress Known as C. S. Lewis’s first novel, this eloquent, erudite, and often wittysatire of contemporary philosophy is still relevant over 90 years later. Modeled after John Bunyan’s famous Pilgrim’s Progress, C. S. Lewis’s Pilgrim’s Regress represents several firsts for Lewis—the first book he wrote after his conversion to Christianity, his first book of fiction, and the first book he published under his own name. It is, in a sense, the record of Lewis’s own search for meaning and spiritual satisfaction—a search that eventually led him to Christianity. Here is the story of the pilgrim John and his odyssey to an enchanting island which has created in him an intense longing; a mysterious, sweet desire. John's pursuit of this desire takes him through adventures with such people as Mr. Enlightenment, Media Halfways, Mr. Mammon, Mother Kirk, Mr. Sensible, and Mr. Humanist and through such cities as Thrill and Eschropolis as well as the Valley of Humiliation. Though the dragons and giants here are different from those in Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Lewis's allegory performs the same function of enabling the author to say simply and through fantasy what would otherwise have demanded a full-length philosophy of religion. Lewis’s allegory remains a witty satire on cultural fads, a vivid account of spiritual dangers, and an illuminating tale for generations of pilgrims old and new.
