The famous master of fable literature John Bunyan, after his masterpiece “The Pilgrim’s Progress”, the first book, became famous, was envied and vilified by his adversaries, who threatened that the “potter” could not have written such a brilliant work. So Bunyan finished the book, which he had begun working on in prison, and published it with an announcement stating that he was the only one who could write in this style, in retaliation for the vicious vilification.

This book and “Heaven’s Journey” are both in Bunyan’s distinctive allegorical style, but “Heaven’s Journey” is based on personal experience, while this book is based on the experience of a city, although not as sinister as “Heaven’s Journey”, but it involves a broader and more ambitious, the content of the ups and downs, which can be said to be distinctive, and I believe that readers who like Bunyan will not be disappointed.

Bunyan uses allegory to vividly and imaginatively tell the story of a soul’s journey through loss, captivity, slavery, and eventual salvation.

The loving and kind Almighty King builds the unique city of souls, which is guarded by the people of the city. The devil, a rebel, retaliated by tricking the people into trusting him. The people of the city openly betrayed the Almighty King for the freedom promised by the devil, and opened the door to welcome the devil’s army into the city, willing to be enslaved. The Almighty King sent his only son, Emmanuel, to lead his army to recover the City of Souls, and a thrilling Holy War of the City of Souls was waged.
