🏰 A pilgrimage of wit, wisdom, and humanity—told through unforgettable voices.

The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer is one of the greatest achievements in English literature—a bold, bawdy, and brilliant collection of stories told by a diverse group of pilgrims traveling to Canterbury. Written in the late 14th century, Chaucer's masterwork offers a vivid portrait of medieval life, capturing the hopes, flaws, and humor of society through a mix of romance, satire, fables, and moral lessons.

🎭 A kaleidoscope of characters and genres. From the noble Knight and bawdy Miller to the pious Prioress and cunning Wife of Bath, each tale reflects its storyteller's perspective, offering insight into class, religion, gender, and power. With humor, pathos, and sharp social commentary, Chaucer presents a world that still feels remarkably modern.

📜 A literary landmark that shaped the English language. Not only did The Canterbury Tales popularize English vernacular literature—it also pioneered the use of character-driven narrative in Western storytelling. This edition brings Chaucer's vision to life in accessible language for today's readers.
