This week’s half-price eBook ‘easy reader’ is ‘I racconti di Canterbury‘, a selection of Geoffrey Chaucer’s pilgrims’ tales from medieval England. Improve your Italian comprehension skills as you read/listen to them, just £4.99!
Why read the Italian version of a classic of world literature instead of actual Italian literature?
Well, why not? Sometimes a familiar tale is reassuring when faced with the complexities of reading and listening in the language you’re learning.
Besides, you can do both! We have ‘easy reader’ versions of some of the classics of Italian literature, too!
Geoffrey Chaucer nacque a Londra nel 1340 circa, figlio di un importante mercante di vino. Per gran parte della sua vita, fu in contatto con la corte reale di Londra, tra cui quella di Edoardo III che gli consentì di compiere diversi viaggi in Francia, nelle Fiandre e in Italia.
“I racconti di Canterbury” sono una raccolta di racconti in versi. La cornice narrativa, che permette ai personaggi di raccontare le proprie storie, è un pellegrinaggio da Londra verso Canterbury per visitare la tomba di Thomas Becket.
