FINGERPRINT with FP logo The Canterbury Tales

This is such a quality of a book! The print is neat and the pages are soft and good. You will definitely love this! If you're a Literature Student, you would love it!

Just what I wanted and good value EB

For the lover of stories this is an awesome book, language is archaic and in poetry.

First, the paper is the worst quality of modern junk, the pages are as flat and even as a rough sea. But worse is the fact that the translation, instead of being opposite the original, is in every case on the BACK of the original so you have to keep turning back and forth all the while. Totally unnecessary, just needless deliberate aggro. Sent it back.

Chaucer is often referred to as the "Father of English literature". Along with this, he is also famously known as the "Father of English poetry". Chaucer belonged to the fourteenth-century era. His writings give an important insight into the medieval English society. His most famous work The Canterbury Tales is a collection of several stories narrated by the pilgrims during their journey to Canterbury. The pilgrims, who belonged to different ranks, shared their stories, thus giving the reader an understanding of the traditions, lives and the social sphere..One of the most interesting thing about Chaucer's work js that he tried to include and give voice to every section of the society. Apart from the language, the overall story and themes are pretty much simple and interesting. The tales focus on religion, morality, theology and domestic life.
