Huntington Public Library Main Building

HPL Adult Zoom, Main Meeting Room

Please join us to discuss “The Pardoner’s Tale,” by Geoffrey Chaucer (1343-1400).

A group of veteran members now manages this long-standing Huntington Public Library book group. We invite you to share in an exploration of highly regarded classics of literature, history, and philosophy through a discussion technique known as “Shared Inquiry. Selections are from Great Conversations 2, available for purchase at the Main Library front desk for at the reduced price of $10 thanks to a generous donation from the Friends of the Library.

Synopsis: In his Canterbury Tales, the English poet Chaucer relates of a storytelling contest among a group of pilgrims traveling from the outskirts of London to the holy see of Canterbury. The prize for the best tale? A free dinner. In this month’s selection a Pardoner, or seller of indulgences, tells a story of three roguish young men who end up killing each other in pursuit of a cache of gold.
