The Canterbury Tales. Part ІІ Geoffrey Chaucer
This is the first Ukrainian translation of The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1343–1400), a masterpiece of the classic English literature. The Canterbury Tales is a collection of stories told by pilgrims on a pilgrimage to the tomb of Saint Thomas Becket in Canterbury. The narrators include representatives of almost all strata of the English society of the time, and their stories, very diverse thematically, offer a good glimpse of their lifestyle. In a way, The Canterbury Tales can be read as an encyclopedia of the life of the medieval society. In addition to its brilliant and uniquely ironic style, this masterpiece creates a vibrant and infinitely kind account brimming with boundlessly faith in humankind. It is striking in its extraordinary ability to admire even the most horrible traits its characters may exhibit. The present edition is illustrated with fragments of the Ellesmere Manuscript (1410).

I confess that Chaucer destroyed my ideas about medieval literature (the work was written around 1400). Up to now, I have thought it’s something extremely boring, separate from real life. It has turned out to be really not true.

If, in the text of a published book, you come across both irony and burlesque, you want to start your review of it with a joke. When Geoffrey Chaucer wrote “A Treatise on the Astrolabe” for his son, relying on ancient Arab astronomical clever-cleverness, he did not think that it would be in Lviv publishing house with such an “astronomical” name that his “Canterbury Tales” would be published — for the first time in Ukrainian.

Selection of the literary critic Yevhen Stasinevych

This may seem like a conservative posture, but a similar thesis is rather a statement of fact: perhaps the best translated prose of the year was the translation of the age-old — it’s also “dusty” — classics. Both the words “classics” and “translation” are important here. First, Chaucer is one of the real, not fictional, parents of all subsequent European prose, though he wrote a rough volume of novelettes in verse.

First, it is such a long-awaited and the first in time Ukrainian translation of a masterpiece by Geoffrey Chaucer, a classic of English literature. Maksym Strikha has done such a tremendous amount of work and a translation of such quality (though I scarsely am well-versed in Old English) that one can only bow low before him and wait for his new translations.
