Diverse The Canterbury Tales Belletristik von Geoffrey Chaucer

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. In The Canterbury Tales Chaucer created one of the great touchstones of English literature, a masterly collection of chivalric romances, moral allegories and low farce. A story-telling competition between a group of pilgrims from all walks of life is the occasion for a series of tales that range from the Knight's account of courtly love and the ebullient Wife of Bath's Arthurian legend, to the ribald anecdotes of the Miller and the Cook.

Bietet eine Sammlung von ritterlichen Romanzen, moralischen Allegorien und derben Farcen. Dieses Buch enthält Geschichten, die von dem Bericht eines Ritters über die höfische Liebe und der lebhaften Erzählung der Wife of Bath über die Artussage bis hin zu den anstössigen Anekdoten des Müllers und des Kochs reichen.
