Set against the epic backdrop of the battle of Troy, Troilus and Criseyde is an evocative story of love and loss. When Troilus, the son of Priam, falls in love with the beautiful Criseyde, he is able to win her heart with the help of his cunning uncle Pandarus, and the lovers experience a brief period of bliss together. But the pair are soon forced apart by the inexorable tide of war and - despite their oath to remain faithful - Troilus is ultimately betrayed. Regarded by many as the greatest love poem of the Middle Ages, Troilus and Criseyde skilfully combines elements of comedy and tragedy to form an exquisite meditation on the fragility of romantic love, and the fallibility of humanity.

Geoffrey Chaucer was born in London in about 1342, and is known as 'the father of English Literature'. He rose in royal employment to become a knight of the shire for Kent and a justice of the peace, and was well-read in several languages and on many topics, such as astronomy, medicine, physics and alchemy. His works include The Canterbury Tales, Troilus and Criseyde and The Parliament of Fowles. He died in 1400 and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

Etat : Muy bueno. : Troilus and Criseyde es una obra maestra de Geoffrey Chaucer, considerada uno de los poemas narrativos más importantes de la literatura inglesa medieval. Ambientada durante el asedio de Troya, narra la trágica historia de amor entre Troilo, un príncipe troyano, y Criseida, una joven griega. Su romance se desarrolla en medio del conflicto bélico, con la intervención de Pándaro, el tío de Criseida, quien actúa como mediador. Sin embargo, la historia toma un giro doloroso cuando Criseida es entregada al bando griego y cede a los encantos de Diomedes, lo que lleva a la desilusión y el sufrimiento de Troilo.
