Book • 1678
The Pilgrim's Progress is a Christian allegory that follows the journey of Christian, a man burdened by his sin, as he travels from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City.

Along the way, he encounters various characters and obstacles that symbolize spiritual realities.

The book is presented as a dream sequence and is divided into two parts, the second part following Christian's wife, Christiana, and her children on a similar journey.

The narrative is rich in biblical references and explores themes of redemption, faith, and perseverance.
