»Gibt es einen Gott woher das Übel? Gibt es keinen woher das Gute?« Die Szene prägt sich ein: Boethius sitzt im Gefängnis, Folter und Hinrichtung stehen ihm bevor. Er weiß sich unschuldig und beklagt sein ungerechtes Schicksal. Er versteht den Lauf der Welt nicht mehr und verfällt einer depressiven Lethargie. Da erscheint eine Frau, die Philosophie, und weist ihn zurecht. Der »Trost der Philosophie« gehört zu den berühmtesten Texten der spätantiken Literatur. Zum Tode verurteilt, empfängt Boethius im Kerker den Besuch der Philosophie. Im Gespräch mit ihr beschwört er noch einmal die große Denktradition der antiken Philosophie als Trostspenderin des Menschen, ehe sie der christlichen Welterklärung weichen muss. Mit einem Nachwort von Kurt Flasch.

Díky své delikátní formě a vytříbenému obsahu, spojujícímu prvky středověké básnické tradice, si Ptačí sněm anglického básníka Geoffreyho Chaucera zajistil výsadní postavení v rámci autorova díla a platí za klenot středověkého literárního kánonu. Skladba zachycuje básníka neznalého lásky, který po dni stráveném nad latinskými spisy usíná neklidným spánkem. Ve snu se mu zjevuje římský vojevůdce Scipio Africanus, jenž ho zavádí do alegorické zahrady, kde „plodný květen vládne celý věk“ a kde básník poprvé poznává lásku a její rituály zblízka. Ptačí sněm je příkladem snového vidění, oblíbeného literárního žánru vrcholného a pozdního středověku, na jehož zdomácnění v anglickém prostředí měl Chaucer významný vliv. I když datace a účel skladby jsou spekulativní, mnozí historici ji spojují s námluvami mladého anglického krále Richarda II. a Annou Českou, dcerou římského císaře Karla IV. Zároveň je to jeden z nejranějších dokladů spojení kultu svatého Valentýna s milostnou tematikou. Toto vydání přináší českému čtenáři překlad básně poprvé, doplněný předmluvou, která nastiňuje hlavní rysy žánru středověké snové poezie a Chaucerovy variace na její témata, včetně ukázek z významných děl, jež s Ptačím sněmem souvisejí. Bilingvní vydání.

Essential Reading for Students of Medieval Literature The Pardoner's Tale is one of the most interesting of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The tale on its own is a neatly told exemplum on the dangers of greed, but the tale and its prologue also casts a light on one of Chaucer's most interesting characters: the Pardoner himself, and his own love of greed and deception. This edition presents three versions of the General Prologue description of the Pardoner, the Introduction, Prologue and the Tale. The three versions are: Original version in Middle English Dual Middle English and Modern English version - with a line by line translation rather than a parallel prose translation Modern English version There is also a brief introduction to the tale.

The procession that crosses Chaucer's pages is as full of life and as richly textured as a medieval tapestry. The Knight, the Miller, the Friar, the Squire, the Prioress, the Wife of Bath, and others who make up the cast of characters -- including Chaucer himself -- are real people, with human emotions and weaknesses. Chaucer's genius bursts forth from every page of The Canterbury Tales. According to the General Prologue, each pilgrim was meant to tell two tales on the way to Canterbury and two on the way back. Although he never finished this enormous project and the completed tales were not finally revised, the work remains a cornerstone of English literature. Scholars are uncertain about the order of the tales, and since the printing press had yet to be invented when Chaucer wrote, The Canterbury Tales has been preserved in several handwritten manuscripts. This collection captures the diversity of medieval society and explores themes of love, morality, and the human condition through its vivid storytelling.
