Synopsis
The first book written by C.S. Lewis after his conversion, The Pilgrims Regress is, in a sense, a record of Lewiss own search for meaning and spiritual satisfaction that eventually led him to Christianity. It is the story of John and his odyssey to an enchanting island that has created in him an intense longing, a mysterious, sweet desire. Johns pursuit of this desire takes him through adventures with such people as Mr. Enlightenment, Media Halfways, Mr. Mammon, Mother Kirk, Mr. Sensible, and Mr. Humanist and through such cities as Thrill and Eschropolis, as well as the Valley of Humiliation. Though the dragons and giants here are different from those in Bunyans The Pilgrims Progress, Lewiss allegory performs the same function of enabling the author to say in fable form what would otherwise have demanded a fulllength philosophy of religion.
