The Pilgrim's Progress From This World To That Which Is To Come Delivered Under The Similitude of a Dream By John Bunyan

The Pilgrim's Progress follows the everyman figure Christian as he flees the City of Destruction and journeys toward the Celestial City, passing through the Slough of Despond, Vanity Fair and a fight with the giant Despair along the way, aided by companions including Faithful and Hopeful. Written partly while Bunyan was imprisoned for unlicensed preaching, it was first published in 1678 and became one of the most widely translated and published books in the English language, a foundation stone of English prose allegory and Protestant devotional literature. This Religious Tract Society edition comes from a publisher founded in 1799 to spread devotional and moral literature to a mass readership.
