| Publisher Description: Wrongs committed in the distant past are far easier to condemn than to rectify. ― Giovanni Boccaccio, The Decameron The Decameron is a collection of novellas by Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio. The frame story is about a group who fled the plague-ridden Florence and stayed at a deserted villa in the countryside for two weeks. To alleviate boredom, they take turns telling stories almost every night. The group of seven young women and three young men ended up telling 100 tales altogether. They take turns being charged as King or Queen and the theme of the stories for the day is assigned by the charged. Buy one, take a hundred and one? What a bargain Add to cart and get your copy now |
