The first book written by C. S. Lewis after his conversion, The Pilgrim's Regress is, in a sense, a record of Lewis' 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. John's 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 Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, Lewis' allegory performs the same function of enabling the author to say in fable form what would otherwise have demanded a full-length philosophy of religion.

Eleştirmen yorumları

“The allegorical characters are not just abstractions. They are, in every instance, people objectively real and subjectively true to the inner meaning. The language throughout is plain, straightforward, and leanly significant. To many it will seem like a fresh wind blowing across acrid waters.”

(New York Times)

“Stands favorable comparison with its great model by John Bunyan.”

(Chicago Tribune)

“Every bit as effective as its predecessor…Eloquent, erudite, and often witty, this tale is superbly narrated by [Simon Vance]. No stranger to the writings of Lewis, [Vance] has a well-modulated voice that easily portrays the numerous characters and gives the narrative sections a steady and consistent tempo.”

I don't think this has aged as well as most of Lewis' books. The reader does a great job and it's never less then fascinating, but at several times the many alagories feel a little to obscure to modern ears. We are no doubt worse educated in classics now then the average reader in the 1930's, leaving a modern listener at a massive disadvantage when it comes to disciphering what the many meaning ladden classical names and images represent. Or maybe the Oxford don in Lewis got a little carried away here, I found it hard to tell. This is a very interesting book but I can't really recommend it to anyone but Lewis fans and greek geeks.

Fascinating.... but not an easy listen

I thoroughly enjoyed the listen. Great narration and story telling. Thought provoking too. I found listening at a speed of x75 was helpful.

Typical Lewis

This book was an unexpected jewel. I had not really heard of it before, but was very pleasantly surprised and would rate it as one of my top 20 all time favorites.

Excellent choice.

Although written in the 30's, this book stands the test of time. It is cleverly penned in the fashion of The Pilgrim's Progress, partly autobiographical in that it describes Lewis' journey to faith through various empty philosophies.
I was impressed at how many convincing voices the narrator was able to produce. Very easy to listen to and follow.

Thought provoking and insightful
