The Pilgrim's Progress (1678) is a Christian allegory by English
writer and Puritan preacher John Bunyan. Begun during Bunyan's
twelve-year imprisonment for refusing to abide by English laws
forbidding nonconformist evangelism, The Pilgrim's Progress is his
most famous work as well as one of the most republished works in
English literary history. Often cited as the first English novel,
The Pilgrim's Progress is told as a dream sequence from the point
of view of an omniscient narrator. In the first book of The
Pilgrim's Progress, a man named Christian has a crisis of faith
that forces him to reconcile with his sinful past and encourages
him to seek salvation by any means necessary. Unsure at first, he
is guided by the figure Evangelist, who directs him along the path
to the Wicket Gate and instructs him to follow the shining light.
On his journey, Christian meets numerous figures, including
Pliable, who follows him into the Slough of Despond before freeing
himself and abandoning the story's hero. There, Christian is saved
by Help, and continues his journey, encountering Mr. Worldly
Wiseman and Mr. Legality, who attempt to sway him from his path to
salvation with their knowledge of ethics and the law. But Christian
is rescued from their midst by Evangelist, who once again points
the way to the Wicket Gate, and through it the path out of the City
of Destruction toward the fabled Celestial City. The second book
recounts the journey of Christian's wife and children, who follow
his path with the hope that they will join him in attaining
spiritual deliverance. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of John Bunyan's
The Pilgrim's Progress is a classic of English literature
reimagined for modern readers.
