The Decameron is one of the greatest literary works of the Middle Ages. Ten young people have fled 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.

The Decameron, subtitled Prencipe Galeotto, is a captivating collection of 100 novellas by the renowned Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio. Likely begun in 1350 and completed by 1353, this medieval masterpiece is celebrated for its rich tapestry of love stories that range from the erotic to the tragic. Its influence is undeniable, with many great writers, including Shakespeare and Chaucer, drawing inspiration from its bawdy and thought-provoking tales. (from Wikipedia)

Set against the shadow of the Black Plague, The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio is a radiant tapestry of love, wit, tragedy, and the triumph of the human spirit. When Florence is ravaged by pestilence, ten young nobles—seven women and three men—flee to a countryside villa to escape the horrors of the city. Over ten days, they pass the time by telling one hundred stories: tales of romance and folly, devotion and deception, virtue and vice.

Composed in the early 1350s, in the wake of the Black Death, The Decameron comprises 100 short stories from all over the world, reset by Boccaccio among the flourishing merchant classes of Renaissance Italy. Their universal themes—love, sex, religion, fate, morality—resonate with us to this day, and their witty, satirical, bawdy voice sounds utterly modern. Monty Python star and medieval historian Terry Jones presents ten BBC Radio dramatisations of tales from Giovanni Boccaccio's humane and comic masterpiece

Delve into the fascinating early lives of Dante, as depicted in two biographical accounts penned by influential Florentine literary figures. Giovanni Boccaccio, a pioneering Italian poet renowned for his monumental work, The Decameron, was one of the first to employ the Italian vernacular in literature, like Dante himself. Lionardo Bruni, a respected historian and man of letters, drew inspiration from Boccaccios account but sought to correct what he saw as a misrepresentation of Dante - an over-emphasis on Beatrices influence. This collection also features insightful articles by Florentine ...
