{"product_id":"canterbury-tales-geoffrey-chaucer-9781617206023","title":"Canterbury Tales","description":"The Canterbury Tales was Chaucer's magnum opus. He uses the tales and the descriptions of the characters to paint an ironic and critical portrait of English society at the time, and particularly of the Church. Structurally, the collection resembles The Decameron, which Chaucer may have come across during his first diplomatic mission to Italy in 1372. The tales are told as part of a story-telling contest by a group of pilgrims as they travel together on a journey from Southwark to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoffrey Chaucer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1617206024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617206023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e SMK Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 514\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.15d","brand":"Geoffrey Chaucer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939237101823,"sku":"9781617206023","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ea01d3f8-c50e-44da-aa75-065a121b5f4c.jpg?v=1681440310","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/canterbury-tales-geoffrey-chaucer-9781617206023","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
