That the basic human psychology remains the same irrespective of different lands and different epochs.

A must read even if you are not a literature student.

The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer (translated by Nevill Coghill)If you're an enthusiast of Renaissance literature, go for it. Stories ranging from spiritual to social culture.I've read this after having Decameron by Boccaccio (Tales of Decameron, Penguin Classics). Was concerned if I would be able to grasp such a long poem, but timely finished it :-) and it was great experience.1. Consists of 24 tales in poetry from including prologue to each.2. Translation was easy for me to digest except few stories which are full of medieval english words.3. Many a stories are incomplete without any hints.4. 3 stories are, what I say, is same to same as tales from Decameron.5. I loved the Knight's Tale the most.Interested of medieval literature, go for it.

So convenient to re-discover this awesome classic from my Uni days in a compact LIGHTWEIGHT version. To be able to read on the go without hauling the heavy book around becomes a real treat at my age. I can enjoy it on my tablet, Kindle reader and even my cell phone. Keep your eyes open for sales. One can often find the classics for $1.99! Thanks Amazon!

It’s a really good book and just has a very enveloping history behind it that captures the attention of readers and allows you to emerse yourself into the book, 10/10

Excelente!

Good quality regardless of small print. Old English in the first half and tales translated in the second half. Not all words were in olde English but very good all the same.
