1860 DELUXE Limited ed Pilgrims Progress John Bunyan Bible Puritan Dalziel ART
“The Pilgrim’s Progress” is a profound Christian allegory written by John Bunyan in 1678. Narrated as a dream sequence, it details the symbolic journey of a character named Christian, who travels from his hometown, the “City of Destruction,” to the heavenly “Celestial City.” The narrative charts Christian’s spiritual progress, confronting him with the trials and tribulations of his faith as well as the redemptive power of divine grace and perseverance.

Remarkably, it has been translated into more than 200 languages and has remained in print since its first publication, bearing testament to its timeless message and universal appeal.
