Book Description
First English language edition of this classic early work of world literature. Shakespeare used this as a source for some of his own works. Bookseller's description: The tales of the Decameron were often inspired by -- or directly taken from -- folk tales both local to Italy and Europe, as well as many that had their origin in the Middle East or even India. The book was quite popular when it was released, especially with norther Italy's merchant class, and the influence of the Decameron is extremely wide ranging -- stretching from The Canterbury Tales, all the way to Edgar Allan Poe.

Book Description
'The Decameron' is a collection of short stories by the 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio. The book is structured as a frame story containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men; they shelter in a secluded villa just outside Florence in order to escape the Black Death, which was afflicting the city. The various tales of love in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic. Tales of wit, practical jokes, and life lessons contribute to the mosaic. In addition to its literary value and widespread influence (for example on Chaucer's Canterbury Tales), it provides a document of life at the time. Written in the vernacular of the Florentine language, it is considered a masterpiece of classical early Italian prose.
