Decameron: Translated and Introducted by J. G. Nichols Hardcover - 2009
by Giovanni Boccaccio; J. G. Nichols (Translator); Introduction by J. G. Nichols
Boccaccio's influential book of stories draws on ancient mythology, contemporary history, and everyday life. Nichols's new translation, faithful to the original but rendered in eminently readable modern English, captures the timeless humor of one of the great classics of European literature.
Summary
In the summer of 1348, as the Black Death ravages their city, ten young Florentines take refuge in the countryside. They amuse themselves by each telling a story a day for the ten days they are destined to remain there - a hundred stories of love, adventure and surprising twists of fate. Less preoccupied with abstract concepts of morality or religion than earthly values, the tales range from the bawdy Peronella hiding her lover in a tub to Ser Cepperallo, who, despite his unholy effrontery, becomes a Saint. The result is a towering monument of European literature and a masterpiece of imaginative narrative.
