«Cuentos de Canterbury» is the collection of tales by English poet Geoffrey Chaucer, published by Edimat in hardback (253 pages, in Spanish).
A group of pilgrims heads to Canterbury Cathedral and, to pass the time, each tells a story. The work brings together tales of varied origin and reflects medieval society with humour, satire and a moral eye. This edition includes, among others, the Knight's Tale, the Miller's Prologue and Tale, and the Tale of Sir Thopas.
Published in 2001 by Edimat in the Clásicos Selección collection; contains a selection of tales, not the complete work. Chaucer began writing the tales around 1386-1387.
Suitable for those seeking classic fiction and medieval literature with short tales of varied tone.
Geoffrey Chaucer was an English poet, writer and civil servant best known for The Canterbury Tales. He has been called the 'father of English literature', or alternatively, the 'father of English poetry'. He was the first writer to be buried in what has since become Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.
