Description

A group of young people flee to the countryside from plague-ridden Florence and pass the time in their retreat by telling tales of romance. This selection from Boccaccio's landmark of medieval literature features 25 stories from the original 100, all teeming with colorful characters and worldly wisdom. J. M. Rigg translation.

Author Biography:

Author and poet Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-75) united classical and romantic traditions in his Decameron. A student and friend of Petrarch, he revived Hellenistic learning in Florence and is considered one of the early humanists.
