Representing a cross-section of medieval English society, the group includes a knight and his squire, a prioress, a friar, a miller, and a wife. To amuse themselves on their journey, they agree that each will tell a tale. These storiesby turns bawdy, hilarious, scurrilous, romantic, heroic, and movingreveal a great deal about the tellers and the world they live in, which, despite the distance of six hundred years, seems remarkably like our own.

评分这本书也算是大名如雷贯耳了。小时候读过《十日谈》,当时把它当成小黄书来读了,多年后读《坎特伯雷故事》,虽然和《十日谈》题材写法相近,但是感觉不如《十日谈》有趣。当然,亮点也还不少。 一、 骑士的故事 被囚禁的两兄弟爱上了同一个姑娘,然后反目成仇,逃出去的那一位...
