Ten tales from the Decameron

Valutazione del libro

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This small volume contains ten tales of love and laughter, translated by G.H. McWilliam. Boccaccio's Decameron is a monumental work of mediaeval pre-Renaissance literature. When ten young Florentines take refuge outside their plague-ridden city, they entertain themselves by telling each other stories. This selection contains one tale from each day and is a perfect demonstration of why it has been called the 'human comedy', in contrast to Dante's Divine Comedy. Bawdy, outrageous, sometimes tragic or wise, these stories offer a tremendously entertaining view of society, religion and, above all, human nature.
