About This Book

A man, burdened by guilt and alarmed by the fate that awaits his town, leaves home to seek salvation and relief. Along a long journey toward a holy city he meets guides, false counselors, and fellow pilgrims, and endures trials that include a mire of despair, a steep hill, a guarded palace, a fearsome adversary, a dark valley, and a prison of doubt. Episodes depict faith, hope, and charity countering temptation and fear, while allegorical places and figures make inner spiritual struggle visible, concluding with his passage across a river into final rest and peace.
