Este aplicativo apresenta Progresso do Peregrino por John Bunyan, inclusive do Guia de Estudo.

The Pilgrim’s Progress, religious allegory in two parts (1678 and 1684) by the English writer John Bunyan, a symbolic vision of the good man’s pilgrimage through life, at one time second only to the Bible in popularity. Without doubt the most famous Christian allegory still in print, The Pilgrim’s Progress was first published in the reign of Charles II and was completed while its author was imprisoned for offences against the Conventicle Act (which prohibited the conducting of religious services outside the bailiwick of the Church of England).

First Part:

The entire book is presented as a dream sequence narrated by an omniscient narrator. The allegory's protagonist, Christian, is an everyman character, and the plot centres on his journey from his hometown, the "City of Destruction" ("this world"), to the "Celestial City" ("that which is to come": Heaven) atop Mount Zion. Christian is weighed down by a great burden—the knowledge of his sin—which he believed came from his reading "the book in his hand" (the Bible).

Second Part:

The Second Part of The Pilgrim's Progress presents the pilgrimage of Christian's wife, Christiana; their sons; and the maiden, Mercy. They visit the same stopping places that Christian visited, with the addition of Gaius' Inn between the Valley of the Shadow of Death and Vanity Fair, but they take a longer time in order to accommodate marriage and childbirth for the four sons and their wives. The hero of the story is Greatheart, a servant of the Interpreter, who is the pilgrims' guide to the Celestial City. He kills four giants called Giant Grim, Giant Maul, Giant Slay-Good, and Giant Despair and participates in the slaying of a monster called Legion that terrorizes the city of Vanity Fair.
