John Bunyan
John Bunyan (1628-1688) was an English writer and Puritan preacher, best known for his Christian allegory "The Pilgrim's Progress," which has been translated into over 200 languages and remains one of the most significant works in English literature. His writings were deeply influenced by his religious beliefs and experiences, including his time spent in prison for preaching without a license, which provided the context for much of his work. Bunyan's legacy endures through his extensive contributions to Christian literature, reflecting themes of faith, redemption, and the spiritual journey.

It was first published, with a...
