为什么值得读

Bunyan 的寓言以日常经验的凡俗世界为隐喻，描绘了灵魂归向上帝的精神之旅。主人公 Christian 在追寻之旅中遇到了重重阻碍：Valley of the Shadow of Death、Vanity Fair、Doubting Castle、Wicket Gate，以及那些引诱他偏离正道的人（如 Talkative、Mr. Worldly Wiseman、Giant Despair）。但最终他抵达了 Beulah Land，在那里等待渡过死亡之河并进入天城。Pilgrim's Progress 不仅作为一本畅销的励志读本产生了巨大影响……

《天路历程》。约翰·班扬
The Pilgrim's progress. John Bunyan
是啊，我很惊讶居然没看到任何宗教书籍。那本很棒，我之前倒没想起来。我当时想到的是约翰·班扬的《天路历程》，美国人读过最多的书之一，在一个时代里大概也是该国拥有量最多的书。
Yeah, I was surprised to not see any religious books. That's a good one I hadn't thought of. I was thinking of Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan, one of the most popular books ever written by American and probably the most owned book in the country for an era.
《圣经》，绝对算。约翰·班扬的《天路历程》。这两本书是历史上出版量最大的书，改变人们思维的作用超过了其他任何两本书。
The Bible, definitely. Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyan. Those are the two most published books in history and have changed more people's thinking than any two other books.
……你从没在泥泞的山谷中艰难跋涉过？要是你从没吃过路边的热狗，你怎么知道你的大餐是同类中最顶级的？如果你想知道《天路历程》是一部多么了不起的杰作，去读读《虚荣的篝火》吧，如果你有点品味的话——当然你也可能没有——很快就会明白的。所以我建议你，除了读我一直在讲的名著……
…you have never scrambled through a dirty valley? How do you know that your gourmet meal is perfect of its kind if you have never eaten a roadside hot dog? If you want to know what a masterpiece The Pilgrim's Progress is, read Bonfire of the Vanities, and if you have any taste -- which of course may not be the case -- you will quickly find out. So I advise you, as well as reading great books that I have been talking…

……当年和道格拉斯在一起，我们合作过一阵子。道格拉斯曾告诉我，有人寄给他一份极其详尽的博士论文，里面论述了《银河系漫游指南》是如何深度模仿约翰·班扬的《天路历程》（1678）。主要依据是，众所周知《天路历程》的部分灵感来自一本名为《凡人升天之路》的册子，作者你猜怎么着，是个名叫阿瑟·邓特的清教徒。道格拉斯……
…with Douglas back in the day and we worked together a bit. Douglas once told me he got sent a very detailed PhD thesis that described how The Hitchhikers Guide was an elaborate parody of John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" (1678). The main evidence was that "Pilgrim's Progress" is known to be partly inspired by a pamphlet called, "The Plain Man's Path to Heaven", written by, get this, a puritan named Arthur Dent. Douglas…
