The Pilgrim's progress (abridged)

On his way Christian endures hardships and resists fierce and subtle attacks by representatives of the world, the flesh, and the devil. The tale recounts spiritual rather than physical victories, climaxing with Christian's abundant entrance into the Celestial City. - Container.
