Beschreibung

🏰 A pilgrimage of wit, wisdom, and humanity—told through unforgettable voices.

The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer is one of the greatest achievements in English literature—a bold, bawdy, and brilliant collection of stories told by a diverse group of pilgrims traveling to Canterbury. Written in the late 14th century, Chaucer's masterwork offers a vivid portrait of medieval life, capturing the hopes, flaws, and humor of society through a mix of romance, satire, fables, and moral lessons.

🎭 A kaleidoscope of characters and genres.
From the noble Knight and bawdy Miller to the pious Prioress and cunning Wife of Bath, each tale reflects its storyteller's perspective, offering insight into class, religion, gender, and power. With humor, pathos, and sharp social commentary, Chaucer presents a world that still feels remarkably modern.

📜 A literary landmark that shaped the English language.
Not only did The Canterbury Tales popularize English vernacular literature—it also pioneered the use of character-driven narrative in Western storytelling. This edition brings Chaucer's vision to life in accessible language for today's readers.

Folk Punk Literary Style - The...

Patrick Schneeweis

There are artists out there able to lift the spirits of the downtrodden, who point towards a better world with all they are. Sometimes, they do this in DIY punk style: raw, unplugged, and deeply human.Patrick Schneeweis, better known as Pat the Bunny, is an artist who chose the road less travelled, instinctively deeming it more honest and less controlling. Freer. He grew up in Vermont, where he found people liked his voice and the controversial topics he tackled, and by 16 years old, he had released his first album ‘Fire Hazard’.Pat had the courage to test his reality, and then nakedly vocalise it (in both the metaphorical and literal senses). His lyrics saw conflicting ideologies meet and fight to the death, in outlooks that were as captivating as his personal anecdotes were relatable. Pat’s journey offers direction to the lost, if only in the promise that so is he; and for all his youthful anarchism and burn-it-to-the-ground spiritedness, his commentary of the world is ironically sobering.Pat’s music career only spanned thirteen years, from 2003-2016. He reincarnated several times in different bands of his own making, and split albums with other folk-punk artists equally hungry to change the world. He fought like hell for a vision of peace, and made the battlegrounds his own state of consciousness.Like a flashfire burning everything in its wake, towards the end of his career, Pat’s had simmered down, but shoots of new life had sprung up from the ashes, a new direction for which his life could take.This book paints the picture of Pat’s fallings and risings, a final cadence before he left the punk scene behind him for good.

Patient History

Tricia Tan

“Patient history” is a medical term describing the method by which doctors gather information about a patient’s past and present conditions. Yet, how much of a patient’s history do doctors really know, and how much agency do we have in determining our own histories? 
Patient History is a whimsical exploration of the typically grim world of sickness and death. Woven from pop culture, fairytales, and East-meets-West childhood memories of growing up in Singapore, these fantasies are cotton candy sweet—osteoporosis becomes Singapore’s signature Chili Crab, a fistula transfigures into fairy, and organs are commemorated as a theme park.

In this volume we discover poets whose storied verse has captured breath and imagination during its relatively short history as a nation.
