Since then, the popularity of the novel has not waned: it is one of the most widely known allegories ever written; the text has been translated into many languages, Protestant missionaries often translated this book as the second after the Bible. Bunyan's novel had a noticeable influence on the development of not only religious, but also secular literature; references to it can be found in the works of Charles Dickens, William Thackeray, Mark Twain, Louisa May Alcott, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, Nikolai Semenovich Leskov and many other authors. The first translation of The Pilgrim's Journey into Russian appeared in print in 1878 by N. I. Novikov's publishing house; however, it was greatly curtailed and, besides, it was made not from the English original, but from the German translation. In 1835, A. S. Pushkin created the poem "The Wanderer", which is a rhymed presentation of the first chapter of the novel; since then, this poem has traditionally been used before the main text in Russian editions of the allegory. In this book, the novel is published in the translation of Yu. D. Z. - this is the pseudonym of Yulia Denisovna Zasetskaya (1835–1882), a well-known Russian Protestant, the daughter of the hero of the Patriotic War of 1812, Denis Davydov. This is the first complete translation of Bunyan's allegory into Russian, made with great care and attention to the original text, and also provided with a biography of the author.
