The Pilgrim’s Progress John Bunyan Gresham Books 1978

Description The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan Being a Facsimilie Reproduction of the First edition. John Bunyan's famous allegory describing the Pilgrim, Christian's flight from the City of Destruction and his journey to the Celestial City. The temptations and snares encountered on the road to heaven, and the characters encountered, are narrated with vivid characterisation. A memoir of John Bunyan is included at the start of the book. The Pilgrim's Progress holds a unique place in the history of English literature. No other seventeenth- century work except the King James Bible, nothing from the pen of a writer of Bunyan's social class in any period, and no other Christian work, has enjoyed such an extensive readership. Bunyan captures the speech of ordinary people as accurately as he depicts their behaviour and appearance and as firmly as he realizes their inner emotional and spiritual life. The tale is related in language remarkable for its beauty and simplicity, and is spiced with Bunyan's acute and satirical perceptions of the vanity and hypocrisy of his own society.
