内容简介
The procession that crosses Chaucer's pages is as full of life and as richly textured as a medieval tapestry. The Knight, the Miller, the Friar, the Squire, the Prioress, the Wife of Bath, and others who make up the cast of characters -- including Chaucer himself -- are real people, with human emotions and weaknesses. When it is remembered that Chaucer wrote in English at a time when Latin was the standard literary language across western Europe, the magnitude of his achievement is even more remarkable. But Chaucer's genius needs no historical introduction; it bursts forth from every page of The Canterbury Tales.
作者简介
Geoffrey Chaucer, considered by many to be both the father of modern English poetry and the father of the modern English novel (for Troilus and Criseyde), also distinguished himself in his lifetime as a civil servant and diplomat under three kings of England. When he was taken prisoner by the French, the King himself contributed to his ransom. When, in later years, the King wished to reward Chaucer for his services to the crown, he was granted -- among other favors -- the right to demand a daily jug of wine from the pantry of the royal butler. Toward the end of his career, he became a knight of the shire for Kent.
But it is for The Canterbury Tales that he is best remembered. This masterpiece of English literature moved Aldous Huxley to say, "If I dared to wish for genius, I would ask for the grace to write The Canterbury Tales."

是这里,只怕挑遍了甘凉道上,也找不出第二人。你猜是谁家的千金?”“是……”左大海沉笑了一声,沾着酒写了个“谭”字。盖雪松一惊,道:“谭雁翎?”声音大了一点。正在玩着小马鞭的谭小姐,霍地侧过脸来,凌人的眼神儿向着这边望过来。盖雪松赶忙低下了头。左大海嘿嘿一笑,站起来道:“小姐,菜还没来?”谭小姐眨着眼睛,上下打量着盖雪松这个人,却也发现到了“黑虎”陶宏和“常山蛇”季本立,发现到这两个人的贼眉贼眼,脸上可就不大乐,总算她还不大愿惹事,鼻子里轻轻哼了一声,就把脸也转了过去。偏偏那“黑虎”陶宏,不知道对方的来路,看着看着兀自放声大笑了起来。这番笑声,真是笑得好没来由,由于声音太大,全座震惊。就连那边冷座上的桑姓客人也禁不住回过头来。本来就不高兴的谭大小姐,更不禁脸上现出了一片恼色。左大海吃一惊道:“陶老弟,你怎么啦?”陶宏笑声一顿,大声道:“这才是踏破铁鞋无觅处,得来毫不费工夫,左大当家的,你刚才不是说过,要给咱们盖兄弟作个大媒,现在可是有了——”左大海、盖雪松闻言大吃一惊。盖雪松急斥道:“不要胡说!”陶宏一怔,遂笑道:“怎么,兄弟,这个你还——”话声未完,就见那边座头上的大小姐霍地站起来,一声斥道:“住口!”那双持箸的手,倏地向外抬,“哧——哧——”两股尖风,空中的筷影,就像是一只出弦的箭,向着陶宏脸上飞来。“赛吕布”盖雪松就在陶宏身边,见状大吃一惊,总算他眼明手快,右手急出,用掌缘自斜面把靠近自己这边的一根筷子劈落在地。逃过了左面可
