I am really disappointed by the way almost everybody above spoke about this book. I would not imagine people from the UK trashing Chaucer in that way, for example. I believe "Under the Yoke" is a great book. In one of the comments above I read that the book was only recently translated in English which is complete non-sense. The book was translated in 1983 an published in London only several years after it was written and published in Bulgaria. I hope Karolinka managed to read this book.
