The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio (Unabridged Edition)

Beschreibung

The Decameron (c.1351) is an entertaining series of one hundred stories written in the wake of the Black Death. The stories are told in a country villa outside the city of Florence by ten young noble men and women who are seeking to escape the ravages of the plague. Boccaccio's skill as a dramatist is masterfully displayed in these vivid portraits of people from all stations in life, with plots that revel in a bewildering variety of human reactions.

Autor

Giovanni Boccaccio (16 June 1313 - 21 December 1375) was an Italian writer, poet, correspondent of Petrarch, and an important Renaissance humanist. Boccaccio wrote several notable works, including The Decameron and On Famous Women. He wrote his most imaginative literature in Tuscan vernacular, as well as a few in Latin. Boccaaccio is particularly noted for his realistic dialogue which differed from that of his contemporaries, who usually followed formulaic models for character and plot.
