The Pilgrim's Progress - Hardcover

by John Bunyan (Author)

The Pilgrim's Progress is an engaging allegory of the Christian Life which has instructed and entertained countless adults and children over the past three hundred years. As befitting a highly imaginative work, its style is simple and accessible. This edition, complete and unabridged, containing Parts I and II, makes an ideal gift.

"This wonderful work is one of the few books which may be read over repeatedly at different times, and each time with a new and a different pleasure. I read it once as a theologian-- and let me assure you, that there is great theological acumen in the work -- once with devotional feelings -- and once as a poet. I could not have believed beforehand that Calvinism could be painted in such exquisitely delightful colours."--Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

"The Pilgrim's Progress is the ultimate English classic, a book that has been continuously in print, from its first publication to the present day, in an extraordinary number of editions. There's no book in English, apart from the Bible, to equal Bunyan's masterpiece for the range of its readership, or its influence on writers as diverse as William Thackeray, Charlotte Bronte, Mark Twain, CS Lewis, John Steinbeck and even Enid Blyton."--Robert McCrum (The Guardian), in placing The Pilgrim's Progress at the top of his list of the best novels in English.
