The theologian, philosopher and pedagogue known in Czech as Jan Amos Komensky was the first great modern educator, nicknamed The Teacher of the Nations and a very great author on the subject whose ideas, methods and innovations greatly improved and advanced education. For example, he developed a revolutionary system absorbing theology, philosophy, and education into one. As an exponent of universal education, he believed all people should have access to education regardless of class, etc and he made great strides in this endeavor.
He wrote this allegorical religious classic Labyrinth of the World and Paradise of the Heart which is the story of a pilgrim seeking the Glory, Beauty and Love of God in the world while he tries to follow God's will for his life as revealed in the Bible. But the pilgrim sees only deception, vanity, falsehood, misery and death in the world. He wants to run away, but he has nowhere to go. He finds the way out of the confusion of this world in the opening of his heart so that Jesus Christ can enter it.
Labyrinth of the World and Paradise of the Heart is often regarded as the greatest Czech-language work of the 17th century. Now here translated into English, the reader will see this book is certainly as good as the greatest Christian allegory ever written, John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, and should be read together with it...
