To swiftly enter the path of salvation through mysterious gates! (A.S. Pushkin) It is my great pleasure to present to the visitors of this site a wise and instructive book that, on one hand, serves as a remarkable example of spiritual and moral prose, and on the other, has long been established among the great classical works of world literature. Yet, despite its significance, it remains relatively unknown to the modern Russian reader, as it was not reissued during the Soviet era due to its religious undertones. I am speaking of the renowned allegorical novel by the English writer John Bunyan (1628-1688), "The Pilgrim's Progress." This unique work vividly describes a person's journey in search of God, encompassing doubts, repentance, and the process of spiritual growth. Bunyan's writing explores various aspects of earthly life as both means and obstacles to spiritual development. The narrative unfolds through the retelling of a dream, allowing for a lively, colorful, and engaging depiction of the soul's processes and the spiritual realm, which remains invisible to the human eye. We are pleased to offer a reprint of the 1890 edition, published in the United States in 1921. According to the publisher, by that time, "The Pilgrim's Progress" had been translated into 75 languages and had seen over one hundred thousand editions. A.S. Pushkin was so moved by this work that he composed a beautiful poem titled "The Wanderer," which is included in this edition. The electronic version features both parts of "The Pilgrim's Progress"—"Christian" and "Christiana and Her Children" (the latter sometimes regarded as a standalone work). The book is beautifully illustrated, with 33 chapters and a preface accompanied by 56 thematic engravings. I extend warm wishes to all Orthodox Christians on the joyful occasion of Easter! Christ is risen!
