BOCCACCIO: Decameron (The) (Abridged)

Here are sixteen tales from one of the great works of the Middle Ages. Ten young people have fled for a while, the terrible effects of the Black Death in Florence and, in an idyllic setting, tell a series of brilliant stories, by turns humorous, bawdy, tragic and provocative. This celebration of physical and sexual vitality is Boccaccio’s answer to the sublime other-worldliness of Dante’s Divine Comedy…
