The Decameron
Description
"The Decameron" by Giovanni Boccaccio is a collection of 100 tales told by a group of young people sheltering in a villa outside Florence during the Black Death. As the plague ravages the city, ten noble men and women escape to the countryside and entertain themselves by telling stories over a period of ten days.
Each day, one member of the group is appointed as the "king" or "queen" of the day, and they choose a theme for the stories to be told. The tales cover a wide range of subjects, including love, trickery, wit, and morality, and they often feature characters from various social classes and backgrounds.
Boccaccio's work is celebrated for its vivid storytelling, wit, and humor, as well as its frank and often bawdy depiction of human nature. Through the diverse tales told by the characters, "The Decameron" provides a rich tapestry of medieval Italian life, while also offering timeless insights into the complexities of human behavior and relationships.
