Name: The pilgrim's regress
Rating: 4.333333333333 (3 reviews)
Author: C.S. Lewis

In this early work by C.S. Lewis, the author explores a parable that mirrors John Bunyan’s "The Pilgrim’s Progress" but in reverse. While Bunyan’s tale follows a one‑sided journey toward Christianity, Lewis presents a man of Christian background who leaves the faith and, after a reflective journey, comes back. Through this abstract narrative, Lewis invites readers to question the true purpose of life, both in everyday moments and on a larger spiritual scale.

First publish date: 1933
