The Pilgrim's Progress from this world to that which is to come Delivered under the similitude of a dream, by John Bunyan

Synopsis
The story is a Christian allegory by John Bunyan, originally written in 1678. It follows Christian, an ordinary man weighed down by sin, who leaves his home and family behind to begin a journey from the City of Destruction toward the Celestial City, set upon Mount Zion. Throughout the way, Christian faces spiritual challenges that test and refine his resolve, including dangerous obstacles such as treacherous swamps and misleading influences in the form of false guides. Told as a dream narrative, it centers on faith, deliverance, and the risks that confront anyone trying to reach salvation by following the narrow path toward Heaven.
