Description
Description
“We know little of the things for which we pray…”Set in medieval England, a group of pilgrims from different walks of life embark on a journey to the sacred shrine of Thomas Becket in Canterbury, Cathedral. While on their voyage, they agree to tell stories in the hope to pass time; each vying to outdo the others with their tales of love, morality, humor and tragedy.One of the characters is the Knight, a chivalrous and honorable man who is also a bit naive. Another is the Wife of Bath, a strong- willed woman who has been married five times. And then there is the Pardoner, a corrupt church official who sells indulgences to people who want to avoid going to hell.All the stories reflect how complex is the human thought process, their dreams and fears. The idea of the pilgrimage is a metaphor for life’s journey reflecting the wisdoms for a happy life.A heartening and enlightening read bringing a sense of focus in the chaos around us.
