John Bunyan · 1890
The Pilgrim's Progress, written by John Bunyan in 1678, is a foundational Christian allegory that follows an everyman protagonist named Christian on a perilous journey from his doomed home, the City of Destruction, to the salvation of the Celestial City. Weighed down by a physical burden representing his sins, Christian navigates a landscape of spiritual trials, encountering literal manifestations of virtues, vices, and psychological states, such as the monstrous demon Apollyon, the seductive traps of Vanity Fair, and the crushing despair of Doubting Castle. The narrative translates abstract theological struggles into a vivid adventure, deeply influencing the development of the English novel and embedding enduring metaphors for human struggle and temptation into the cultural lexicon.
