myshelves: The Mercy Seller, a novel about the religious ferment in the early 15th century, features a Pardoner who is not happy about the portrayal of the Pardoner in The Canterbury Tales.
s um dos livros que ajudaram a formar a literatura ocidental tal como a conhecemos: comédia, costumes fustigados e a graça infinita de um titã da imaginação. Publicado pela primeira vez em 1475, Contos da Cantuária é uma coleção magistral de histórias de cavalaria, alegorias morais e farsa desbragada. Tudo começa a partir de um certame entre peregrinos acerca das melhores histórias de cavalaria e romances. Rico e diverso, o livro descortina - com crueza e lirismo, graça e deboche - o universo social e cultural da Inglaterra em plena Idade Média. Anedotas, ciclos cavalheirescos, escatologia, ensinamentos edificantes e muita caricatura surgem nas histórias desses peregrinos que rumam em direção à Cantuária, onde pretendem visitar o túmulo de São Thomas Becket. Vertido para o português com maestria, mas sem deixar de lado o humor e a diversão, o livro tem tudo para cativar leitores de todas as idades. ( )

When the sweet showers of April have pierced The drought of March, and pierced it to the root, And every vein is bathed in that moisture Whose quickening force will engender the flower; And when the west wind too with its sweet breath Has given life in every wood and field To tender shoots, and when the stripling sun Has run his half-course in Aries, the Ram, And when small birds are making melodies, That sleep all the night long with open eyes, (Nature so prompts them, and encourages); Then people long to go on pilgrimages, And palmers to take ship for foreign shores, And distant shrines, famous in different lands; And most especially, from all the shires Of England, to Canterbury they come, The holy blessed martyr there to seek, Who gave his help to them when they were sick.
When in April the sweet showers fall And pierce the drought of March to the root, and all The veins are bathed in liquor of such power As brings about the engendering of the flower, When also Zephyrus with his sweet breath Exhales an air in every grove and heath Upon the tender shoots, and the young sun His half-course in the sign of the Ram has run, And the small fowl are making melody That sleep away the night with open eye (So nature pricks them and their heart engages) Then people long to go on pilgrimages And palmers long to seek the stranger strands Of far-off saints, hallowed in sundry lands, And specially, from every shire's end Of England, down to Canterbury they wend To seek the holy blissful martyr, quick To give his help to them when they were sick.
(translated by Nevill Coghill, 1951)
Once upon a time, as old stories tell us, there was a duke named Theseus; Of Athens he was a lord and governor, And in his time such a conqueror, That greater was there none under the sun.
[Preface] The first part of this Norton Critical Edition of "The Canterbury Tales: Seventeen Tales and the General Prologue"--the glossed Chaucer text--is addressed specifically to students making their first acquaintance with Chaucer in his own language, and it takes nothing for granted.
[Chaucer's Language] There are many differences between Chaucer's Middle English and modern English, but they are minor enough that a student can learn to adjust to them in a fairly short time.
