Jeffrey Chaucer (1343 - 1400), the "father of English poetry", the largest representative of medieval literature, with his "Canterbury stories" laid the foundation of all English literature. His poem can be called an encyclopedia of literary genres of the Middle Ages, but the most valuable is the realistic description of the author’s life, numerous characters, their speech, habits, opinions.
A company of twenty-nine men and women from different parts of England - people of different ages, social status and temperament - travels from London to Canterbury to the coffin of St. Thomas Becket. To brighten up the long road, pilgrims tell their stories. The stories of pilgrims are punctuated by comic situations that lie in wait for them on the way and during the night, travelers discuss what they heard, argue and enjoy life.
Bilingual translation, bilingual, is published for the first time.
