Ringkasan

The doors were open as always welcoming him,but this time nobody was greeting with smiles and festivities for winning the battle.This time he wasn’t entering neither as a prince nor a ruler.He pulled the reins and looked at the balcony.She was looking down at him.Her hair flowing freely with the wind and ashes,different from the usual neat hairstyle.On her head was his crown,the crown that he had been granted alongside her and at that balcony they both had exchanged the vows not only for this empire but also for themselves. ... “I’m home.”he had said those words many times full of hapiness and she smiled brilliantly as she always had,but this time the words were full of sorrow and the smile full of contempt. ... "Keep hating me.For me,it’s enough just to look at you and know that you are somewhere within my reach,Mai.”

The Pilgrim's Process by John Bunyan

writing starts with sermons and ends with fiction. His famous allegory, the story of Christian, opens with a sentence of luminous simplicity that has the haunting compulsion of the hook in a great melody. "As I walk'd through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place, where was a Denn; And I laid me down in that place to sleep: And as I slept I dreamed a Dream." A "Denn" is a prison, and Bunyan wrote most of the book in Bedford county gaol, having been arrested for his beliefs during the "Great Persecution" of 1660-1690. He shares the experience of prison with Cervantes, who had the idea for Don Quixote while incarcerated in La Mancha. Like so many novels that follow in this list, The Pilgrim's Progress blends fact and fiction. As well as being the record of Bunyan's dream, a well-known fictional device, it is also an archetypal tale – a quest, fraught with danger. Christian's pilgrimage takes him through the Slough of Despond, Vanity Fair and the Delectable Mountains in a succession of adventures that keep the reader turning the page. With his good companions, Faithful and Hopeful, he vanquishes many enemies before arriving at the Celestial City with the line that still reverberates through the English literary tradition: "So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side." In Hollywood terms, the novel has a perfect "arc". It also contains a cast of unforgettable characters, from Mr Worldly Wiseman to Lord Hategood, Mr Stand-fast and Mr Valiant-for-Truth. More profoundly, as an allegory of state repression, it has been described by the historian EP Thompson as one of the "foundation texts of the English working-class movement". Part of its uniquely English quality is a robust and engaging sense of humour that has cemented its appeal to generations of readers. The Pilgrim's Progress is the ultimate English classic, a book that has been continuously in print, from its first publication to the present day, in an extraordinary number of editions. There's no book in English, apart from the Bible, to equal Bunyan's masterpiece for the range of its readership, or its influence on writers as diverse as William Thackeray, Charlotte Bronte, Mark Twain, CS Lewis, John Steinbeck and even Enid Blyton. Huckleberry Finn speaks for many readers when, recalling his Mississippi education, he says: "There was some books too... One was 'Pilgrim's Progress', about a man that left his family it didn't say why. I read considerable in it now and then. The statements was interesting, but tough." The story of a man in search of the truth is the plot of many kinds of fiction, from Portnoy's Complaint to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Like many of the writers in the list that follows, Bunyan had a wonderful ear for the rhythms of colloquial speech and his allegorical characters come to life in dialogue that never fails to advance the narrative. Story is one thing. The simple clarity and beauty of Bunyan's prose is something else. Braided together, style and content unite to make a timeless English classic. The Pilgrim's Progress, from this world, to that which is to come was first published in Holborn, London by Nathaniel Ponder, a non-conformist, at the beginning of 1678 in an edition of 191 pages. It was an immediate success. A second edition appeared before the end of 1678, with many new passages, a third in 1679, and several subsequent editions before Bunyan's death in August 1688. The Second Part of The Pilgrim's Progress was published in 1684, with a second edition in 1686. Eventually, the English text comprised some 108,260 words. It has never been out of print, and has been translated into more than 200 languages.

the last hope of lost house

Once upon a time, in a world filled with hardships and challenges, there lived an orphan boy named Oliver. He had lost his parents at a young age and had to navigate the harsh realities of life on his own. Struggling to survive, Oliver searched for any opportunity that could offer him solace. One day, while reading through the local newspaper, Oliver stumbled upon an advertisement that caught his attention. It spoke of a house for rent at an incredibly low price. With hope gleaming in his eyes, he decided to investigate further, ignoring the slight trepidation that accompanied such a tempting offer. As Oliver arrived at the address mentioned in the ad, he noticed that the house appeared quite dilapidated. The paint was peeling off the walls, and the windows were shattered. It stood silently, abandoned and seemingly forgotten. However, undeterred by its outward appearance, Oliver stepped forward and entered the house, curious to explore the opportunity that lay within. To his surprise, as soon as Oliver stepped inside, he felt a sudden chill in the air. It was as if an invisible presence had enveloped the house. Shadows danced eerily on the walls, and an unsettling silence permeated the atmosphere. Oliver's heart pounded in his chest as he realized that the house was haunted. Suddenly, before him, appeared five ghostly figures. Each ghost had a distinct aura and wore tattered clothing reminiscent of a bygone era. Oliver could sense that they were trapped in this world, longing for something they had lost. The first ghost, a gentle elderly man named Samuel, approached Oliver. Samuel had been an artist in his previous life and possessed immense talent. He offered to teach Oliver the art of painting, explaining that it could bring solace and beauty into a tumultuous existence. The second ghost, a young girl named Emily, was a brilliant musician. She played the piano like an enchanting melody and offered to share her knowledge and love of music with Oliver. Emily believed that music could heal wounds and uplift the soul. The third ghost, a middle-aged woman named Clara, was a skilled gardener in her mortal life. She demonstrated her mastery of growing beautiful plants and shared her insights with Oliver. Clara believed that nature could teach resilience and nurture the spirit. The fourth ghost, a wise old man named Benjamin, had been a skilled storyteller. He had a treasure trove of tales from various cultures and eras. Benjamin explained that stories had the power to inspire, teach valuable lessons, and provide comfort in times of distress. Lastly, the fifth ghost, a mischievous boy named Thomas, possessed incredible agility and physical prowess. He had been a gymnast and acrobat. Thomas offered to teach Oliver the art of movement, explaining that physical strength and flexibility could help him navigate the challenges of life. Recognizing the unique abilities and wisdom each ghost possessed, Oliver struck a deal with them. In exchange for their teachings, Oliver promised to help them find peace by uncovering the truth behind their deaths. The ghosts agreed, their faces filled with a flicker of hope. As days turned into weeks, Oliver delved deep into the world of art, music, gardening, storytelling, and physical agility. With the guidance of the ghosts, he honed his skills, developing a unique set of talents that allowed him to survive in the harsh world. Oliver's journey took him to libraries, archives, and old town records, searching for clues to unravel the mysteries surrounding the deaths of the ghosts. Slowly but steadily, he uncovered a web of deceit, betrayal, and unfinished business that tied them together. Through his investigations, Oliver discovered that the ghosts had been murdered by a nefarious individual seeking to acquire their talents for personal gain.
