About the book

Giovanni Boccaccio's The Decameron is one of the great masterpieces of medieval European literature. Set during the Black Death of 1348, the work follows ten young Florentines who leave plague-stricken Florence for the countryside, where they agree to entertain one another by telling stories over a period of ten days. The resulting one hundred tales range from comic and romantic episodes to stories of deception, fortune, generosity, desire and human weakness. Boccaccio's lively characters come from every level of medieval society, creating an extraordinarily rich portrait of human behaviour.
