The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan

3.0

FIRST LINE REVIEW: “As I walked through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place where was a Den, and I laid me down in that place to sleep: and, as I slept, I dreamed a dream.” And for the next 175 pages or so, the dream is shared with the reader. Impressive as a 17th century work of religious literature, telling through allegory the tale of Pilgrim on his travels to the City of God. Much like the Morality play, “Everyman,” all characters are allegorical and the purpose is a sermon about the pathway to heaven. I wouldn’t call it a particularly compelling read, though I did appreciate it as a work of historical literature.
