Recenze:
Beyond its importance as a literary work of unvarnished genius, Geoffrey Chaucer´s unfinished epic poem is also one of the most beloved works in the English language-and for good reason: It is lively, absorbing, perceptive, and outrageously funny. But despite the brilliance of Chaucer´s work, the continual evolution of our language has rendered his words unfamiliar to many of us. Esteemed poet, translator, and scholar Burton Raffel´s magnificent new unabridged translation brings Chaucer´s poetry back to life, ensuring that none of the original´s wit, wisdom, or humanity is lost to the modern reader. This Modern Library edition also features an Introduction that discusses Chaucer´s work as well as his life and times. An illustrated retelling of Geoffrey Chaucer´s famous work in which a group of pilgrims in fourteenth-century England tell each other stories as they travel on a pilgrimage to the cathedral at Canterbury.
