Catalogue synopsis

"The Pilgrim's Progress from this world to that which is to come" by John Bunyan is a Christian allegory written in 1678. The story follows Christian, an everyman burdened by sin, as he abandons his home and family to journey from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City atop Mount Zion.

This dream narrative explores themes of faith, deliverance, and the perils facing those who seek salvation through the narrow path to Heaven.
