Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Bunyan His Life Times and Work, Vol. 2 of 2 "As I walked through the wilderness of this world I lighted upon a certain place where was a Den, and I laid me down in that place to sleep; and as I slept I dreamed a dream." These words, which open for us the story of the Pilgrim, suggest to the majority of its readers the culminating point of interest in Bunyan´s life. It may be well, therefore, to try to settle, if we can, the place of the den and the time of the dream. That the "Pilgrim´s Progress" was written in prison we have on the highest authority of all, that of Bunyan himself. When the third, which was the first complete, edition of the book appeared in 1679, by the side of the word "den" in the text he placed the explanatory words "the Jail" in the margin. This evidence is of course conclusive, even if we had not, as we have, contemporary testimony to the effect that the Dream was a prison book. But the inquiry is not without interest as to what goal it was and to what imprisonment these words refer.
