It is not known whether the book is literally the story of one pilgrim, or whether it uses the journey of a fictional pilgrim as a means of learning the practice of incessant inner prayer and communion with God. The Russian original, or copy of it, was present at the Monastery of Athos in Greece in the 19th century and was first published in Kazan in 1884 under the Russian name, which translates as Candid Narratives of a Pilgrim to His Spiritual Father. The Author's Critical Scholarship examined the authorship of four original and three additional fairy tales. Alexey Pentkovsky claims that the first four tales survive in the form of a later version of the original work of Archimandrite Mikhail Kozlov (1826-1884), the Seeker of incessant prayer, and that additional fairy tales are the work of Arseniy Troepolsky (1804-1870). Both of these men spent time as wanderers. The pilgrim's inner journey begins when he is amazed to hear Paul's words (in I Thessalonians 5:17) to pray without ceasing. He visits churches and monasteries to try to understand how to pray without ceasing. His travels lead him to an asterisk (spiritual father) who teaches him the Prayer of Jesus - The Lord Jesus Christ pardons me and gives him practical advice on how to continuously recite prayer as a kind of mantra. The book details the gradual spiritual development and struggle of the narrator, as well as the influence of the narrator's spirituality on others. The sequel entitled Pilgrim continues its journey. Translations of both documents were published together in some English publications. The background of the most widely used English edition was translated by an Anglican priest who served in Arkhangelsk, Reginald Michael (R.M.) French (1884-1969), and first published in 1931. In a note to the translator, the Frenchman wrote of the pilgrim that everyone will appreciate the sincerity of his conviction and few will probably doubt the reality of his experience. The French wrote that the events described in the book appear to belong to Russia before the liberation of the serfs in 1861. French also noted that Pilgrim's narration mentions The Crimean War, which began in 1853. Therefore, it was between these two dates, 1853 and 1861, that Pilgrim arrived in Irkutsk and found a spiritual father, two major events in Pilgrim's narrative. Franny and zoe The Pilgrim's Way are central to the plot of both J.D. stories. Salinger in Franny and zui. Franny Glass, a young college student, is fascinated by the Pilgrim's Way, describing it as a way to see God and saying that Jesus' prayer is similar to that of Hinduism and Buddhism. Her brother, zoey, knows that a copy of Franny's book actually belonged to their late brother Seymour. She doubts her seeming obsession with prayer. Franny and zui became an international bestseller and influenced the spread of the popularity of the Pilgrim's Way outside of monastic traditions and among people of different religious backgrounds. The method of prayer, described in the path of pilgrim, is one of the most widely used prayer guides in the Western world, with the Prayer of Jesus perhaps the most widely practiced Christian prayer after the Lord's Prayer and the City of Mary. The book's popularity was influential in the modern revival of hesichasma as a living practice. The pilgrim's method of prayer, described in the book, received a mixed reception over the years from scholars and clergy. St. Ignatius Bryanchaninov wrote that the book could give the student the impression that the incessant prayer of the heart, one of the goals of the practice, can be achieved after a few weeks of practice, but that the experience and preparation of the pilgrim were remarkable. His life leading to practice, and his study under the asterisks (his spiritual father), prepared him for the useful results he received. In the introduction to the translation of Olga Savin, Thomas Hopko describes the book as a spiritual classic that teaches that incessant prayer is not only a goal, but also one thing for which it is worth living, but also life itself. Like other clergy, he notes that the pilgrim teaches the practice of incessant prayer to be done under the guidance of a spiritual father, and with active participation in the Church and liturgy. He wrote that the book is for all pilgrims and that it provides protection and food for the trip, pointing out its dangers and showing off its rewards. Alexey Osipov, a professor at the Moscow Theological Academy, talks about his article in an interview. In his opinion, the purpose of prayer, its steps, the connection of nous and heart, the actions of grace in the book - all this contradicts the teachings of the Holy Fathers and can lead to confusion (charm). In addition to many holy fathers, Professor Osipov refers to the letters of Saint Theophanes the Recluse, who originally corrected one of the publications Book. At the end of his life, Saint Theophanes wrote to a man not to read the book, because some of her advice was not appropriate for this person, as it could lead him to charm. Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeev) also warns of the limitations of the pilgrim's prayer method in his book on jesus' imaslaving and prayer. Metropolitan Hilarion writes that the rate of prayer of the pilgrim is much faster than in the teachings of St. Ignatius Bryanchaninov and St. Theophanes the Recluse, who also did not recommend the use of the psychosomatic method of prayer. Metropolitan Hilarion writes that Saint Theophanes removed the works of the Holy Fathers on psychosomatic methods from his book edition and edited some parts that might evoke charm. On the other hand, Metropolitan Hilarion notes the success of the book and its role in the West's familiarity with the Eastern Christian practice of Jesus' prayer.
