Piers Plowman, William Langland's visionary medieval work about one man's quest for the true Christian life, is an allegorical journey through dream visions and visions within dreams. During the course of his journey, the narrator (William Langland) meets Piers Plowman, who gradually reveals himself to be the son of God. Through Piers, William learns of the virtues in poverty, the temptations of wealth, and of the perfect society that is to come under the rule of Piers Plowman. Each vision and conversation is presented in buoyant, lyrical, alliterative verse that conveys the thoughts and rejoicings of 14th-century England, and comes alive in A.V.C. Schmidt's contemporary translation of the "B" text.

As I would assume to be an accidental stumble onto this book, Gods plan was for me to hear not just the words but the message this reading delivers. Life changing and soul awakening would be the only way to properly describe what this book has done for me. Highly suggest for any listener looking for a deeper meaning and purpose.

zhuangzi, but waspy. Grateful to have this available. Bravo to the audiobook boom of superstimulating content.

"Piers Plowman" is a masterwork of Middle English literature. William Langland's allegorical poem is a thought-provoking exploration of spirituality, morality, and social justice. Through the protagonist's journey, Langland critiques the corruption of his time, offering timeless insights into the human condition. The poem's vivid imagery, complex symbolism, and lyrical language make it a rich and rewarding read. A must-study for anyone interested in medieval literature and the evolution of English poetry.
