Editorial Review

Pilgrim's Progress from This World, To That Which Is to Come
- Book Review, by John Bunyan

From AudioFile
Time was when this allegory of moral redemption tied the KING JAMES BIBLE as Most Read Book in the English language. Now Penguin enlists TV's Hercule Poirot to help lift it out of the obscurity to which today's secular world has consigned it. Suchet's musical, expressive voice clarifies and contemporizes the three-hundred-year-old vocabulary. His characterizations are vivid and cartoony. Indeed, Suchet plays this as a kid's book, which it can, but need not, be. The chief flaw in this approach is making the hero, Christian by name and archetype, sound like Simple Simon, losing the senses of danger and ultimate consequence that are intrinsic to the author's message. Still, a livelier, more engaging reading can hardly be imagined. Y.R. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Pilgrim's Progress from This World, To That Which Is to Come

ANNOTATION

The pilgrim Christian undertakes the dangerous journey to the Celestial City, experiencing physical and spiritual obstacles along the way.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Bunyan wrote the first part of his allegory while in prison for his faith, and this experience adds extra urgency and depth to his story of Christian pursuing his pilgrimage through Vanity Fair, the Slough of Despond and Delectable Mountains towards the Celestial City.

The influence of The Pilgrim's Progress, both indirectly on the English consciousness and directly on the literature that followed, has been immeasurable. Rich, inventive, profoundly challenging, it is a work of imaginative intensity that has rarely been matched.

SYNOPSIS

Acclaimed as one of "the greatest literary masterpieces in the world," this allegory captivates the reader￯﾿ﾽs attention while providing insight into the Christian life. Join Bunyan as he tells the story of one man￯﾿ﾽs pilgrimage from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City whose builder and maker is God.
