Boccaccio was born in Florence in 1313. He later moved to Naples, where he became part of the circle at court and started writing books. In 1348, he witnessed the plague in Florence, which killed half the city's population and would become the backdrop to his masterpiece,The Decameron. In later life he befriended the poet Petrarch, who left to him in his will an ermine robe to keep him warm when studying on winter nights. Boccaccio died in 1375.

Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Risse; Farbveränderung durch Alter/Sonne. This small volume contains ten tales of love and laughter, translated by G.H. McWilliam. Boccaccio's Decameron is a monumental work of mediaeval pre-Renaissance literature. When ten young Florentines take refuge outside their plague-ridden city, they entertain themselves by telling each other stories. This selection contains one tale from each day and is a perfect demonstration of why it has been called the 'human comedy', in contrast to Dante's Divine Comedy. Bawdy, outrageous, sometimes tragic or wise, these stories offer a tremendously entertaining view of society, religion and, above all, human nature.
