The Pilgrim's Progress

A book that has crossed most of the barriers of time, race and culture, The Pilgrim's Progress remains the supreme classic of the English Puritan tradition. Bunyan wrote the first part ofhis allegory while in prison for his faith, and thsi experience adds extra urgency and depth to his story of Christian pursuing his pilgrimage through Vanity Fair, the Slough of Despond and Delectable Mountains towards the Celestial City. The influence of Bunyan's book on English consciousness and on the literature that followed, has been immeasurasble: a work of immense imaginative intensity that has rarely been matched. Notes. 295p.
