Even in its unfinished form, The Canterbury Tales is considered Chaucer's major work and one of the most important works in all of English literature.
Every April, a string of travelers from all over England flock to the ancient city of Canterbury to worship the relics of St. Thomas Becket. One day in a roadside tavern they meet representatives of different walks of life - knight and monk, lawyer and merchant, doctor and cook, weaver and seller of indulgences. They are all on a pilgrimage to Canterbury and are ready to brighten the hardships of the journey with tales of friendship and love, faith and betrayal, marital trials and deals with evil forces. Different in style and scope, reflecting the individual traits of each of the narrators, The Canterbury Tales are equally engaging and paint an honest and detailed picture of medieval life with all its joys and hardships.
