John Bunyan
The Pilgrim’s Progress (1678) by John Bunyan is a Christian allegory that tells the spiritual journey of a man named Christian. Burdened by the weight of sin, he leaves his hometown, the 'City of Destruction,' to travel toward the 'Celestial City,' which represents heaven. Along the way, he faces trials, temptations, and obstacles-such as the Slough of Despond, Vanity Fair, and the Valley of the Shadow of Death-while also meeting allies like Faithful and Hopeful. Each episode symbolizes moral and spiritual struggles that believers face. The book emphasizes faith, perseverance, and salvation, showing the difficulties and rewards of a true Christian life.
