Riassunto

Times have changed since John Bunyan wrote his classic Pilgrim's Progress, telling of Pilgrim's journey up Hill Difficult and through the Slough of Despond to the Celestial City. Yet people in their millions still seek meaning in their lives and speak of journeying towards a goal. Everyone on earth seeks a heaven. This is the story of the journey of Pippa, a 21st-century Pilgrim. Simon Parke's witty and insightful modern-day re-telling of Pilgrim's Progress follows the original's premise of a pilgrim's journey to heaven, but this time through the trials and temptations of our secularised, multi-cultural society. Pippa's challenges along the way include the Rock of Subconscious, the Cliff of Hopelessness, the Fabulous Fame Game, the Sea of Identity and, of course, Heaven.
