| 1 | 1850-1864 | The missionaries carried translations of The pilgrim's progress by John Bunyan all over Africa and Asia. It was translated into more than 200 languages, including Chinese. In the 1850s the Taiping rebellion mobilized millions of Chinese peasants and came near to overthrowing the Emperor. The fabourite books of their leader were the Bible and The pilgrim's progress. If the Taiping had won, as they very nearly did, Bunyan's epic might have become China's little red book a century earlier. The Taiping must have read it very differently from the pious missionaries who had it translated. |
