Geoffrey Chaucer’ın Canterbury Hikâyeleri

Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, one of the first written works in the English language, has influenced many poets and writers since the fourteenth century. Another writer, Peter Ackroyd, brings this narrative, which is as complex and detailed as the stonework of a cathedral, but also humorous and satirical, into today's English. A pilgrim caravan heading to Canterbury organizes a competition among themselves. Throughout their journey, each of them will tell a story. When it was announced that the person whose story was liked the most would win a free meal, the Woman from Bath, the Pardoner, the Preacher, the University student and passengers from different classes or professions entered into a fierce race. Considering the connection with the narrator of each story and its role in England at that time, a masterpiece emerges that is not only entertaining but also mirrors its era. Chaucer's immortal work is now available to readers with a contemporary interpretation, brought to life in prose without losing its harmony.
