'The Canterbury Tales', compiled in the late fourteenth century, is an incisive portrait, infused with Chaucer's wry wit and vibrant, poetical language. He evokes a spestrum of colourful characters, from the bawdy Wife of Bath to the gallant Knight, the fastidious Prioress and the burly, drunken Miller. As they wend their way from Southwark to Canterbury, tales are told to pass the time, and the stories are as diverse as the narrators, encompassing themes such as adultery, revenge, courtly love, lechery, avarice and penitence. As humorous today as when it was written over six centuries ago, 'The Canterbury Tales' remains one of the most popular and enjoyable of the classic works of literature.

Sympatický, no rozporuplný hrdina Richard sa na svojich potulkách svetom zastaví aj v Bangkoku. Nestojí o vyšliapané turistické trasy, láka ho všetko nezvyčajné, nepoznané. Akoby zasiahol osud, Richard sa za zvláštnych okolností dozvie o tajomnej pláži na jednom z neprístupných ostrovov v Thajskom zálive. Rozhodne sa, že pláž stoj čo stoj nájde. Spolu s novými priateľmi, Étiennom a Françoise, sa vydá na cestu plnú takmer neprekonateľných prekážok a nástrah, pri ktorej musia siahnuť až na dno svojich fyzických a psychických síl. Tajomná pláž nie je len jednou z posledných bášt nedotknutej prírody. Z obyvateľov pláže, uzavretého spoločenstva rôznorodých ľudí, izolovaných od okolitého sveta, sa autorovi podarilo stvoriť nazabudnuteľné, plnokrvné postavy a postavičky, ktoré v hraničných situáciách naplno odhalia svoje charaktery.
