## Description

A new edition of one of the greatest allegorical stories ever written. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read A masterpiece of the English Puritan tradition, The Pilgrim's Progress is rich in its imaginative power and its vivid and heartfelt language. It recounts the story of Christian, who appears to the author in a dream, and his journey to Heaven through the trials and tribulations of life. He meets many like-minded pilgrims on his way, such as Faithful and Hopeful, but before they attain their goal they encounter the Giant Despair and the River of Death itself. Translated into more than one hundred languages, The Pilgrim's Progress continues to have an immeasurable influence on English literature. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Review: God's redemption and love - The Pilgrim’s Progress is a classic that mirrors the life and struggles of the Christian faith. I’ve read the book, but this was my first experience with an audiobook, Pilgrims Progress: Updated, Modern English, narrated by Mark Christensen. What fun! I laughed and journeyed with the voices of Pliable, Obstinate, Mr. Feeble-mind, Piety, Mr. Worldly Wiseman, Evangelist, Despondency, Mr. Honest, and Giant Despair! Several of the voices reminded me of people I’ve met during my travels, and it was comical how their faces appeared in my imagination and made the classic tale more relevant. This powerful and allegorical novel has become more meaningful with each reading and listening experience. Like an onion, the more exposure and study time I spent with the text, the more I uncover, the more profound meaning or underlying doctrinal beliefs spur my thinking in various directions, depths, and possibilities. I appreciated the main character, Christian, who carried his burden for most of his life. He left family, friends, and comfort to follow Evangelist and God’s leading toward Heaven. He held his burdens longer than others who grew up in the Christian faith. Still, Christian’s faith and determination carried him onward throughout the narrative and journey of The Pilgrim’s Progress. God’s redemption and love brought His follower to the end—The Celestial City—because Christian followed God and stayed on His path. What a glorious day!
Review: The Real McCoy. Penguin: ISBN-13: 978-0141439716 - The text is NOT in modern English. In a chapter captioned 'NOTE ON THE TEXT & ILLUSTRATIONS', the Editor, Roger Pooley explains that Bunyan's work went through several revisions, and discusses the approach that other scholars took regarding Bunyan's text. He states: " I have decided to base my text on the last edition published in Bunyan's lifetime, the tenth edition of the first part, and the second edition of the second part, Both published in 1688. This has the advantage of preserving all the changes in the text and marginal notes that Bunyan may have overseen….” And: “ Should an editor modernize Bunyan’s text?...I am sympathetic to such ambitions (and suspect Bunyan would be too) but they are NOT mine in this edition… ” This book has many of the charming drawings that appeared in the work in the late 1600’s, including the ‘Sleeping Portrait’ of Bunyan by Robert White (1679) This complete edition has the scripture side notes. It has lots of notes and a list 'For Further Reading'. This paperback " weighs next to nothing and will ‘ go ‘ anywhere. I also highly recommend The Banner of Truth’s hardcover cloth edition ISBN 0 8515 1259 3. " I am going to my Father's, and though with great Difficulty I am got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the Trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my Pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it . . ."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this book and love this version
*by M***Y on January 1, 2024*

Great version to read. If you haven’t read this book, you should put it at the top of your reading list. The books themselves arrived in great condition. The edges of one of them was a little worn but I suspect that was due to the book sliding around in the shipping box.
