Pilgrim's Regress
In 1933, not long after he became a Christian, Lewis published  this third work and his first novel, a portrayal of this  spiritual journey. Begun as a poem, Pilgrim's Regress thankfully  ended up as an allegory that obviously takes its cue from John  Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. Every bit as effective as its  predecessor, Lewis's book describes the quest of John to reach  the enchanted island and describes and satirizes many of the  popular philosophies of the author's time, many of which also  have more than a little influence in our day. Eloquent, erudite,  and often witty, this tale is superbly narrated by Robert  Whitfield. No stranger to the writings of Lewis, Whitfield has a  well-modulated voice that easily portrays the numerous  characters and gives the narrative sections a steady and  consistent tempo. There are a number of Latin epigraphs, which  are not translated. Public, religious/theological, and academic  libraries should at least consider this audio. Michael T.
