Excerpt from Contes de Boccace, Vol. 2
Aussitôt que Laurette eutcessé de parler, Philomène, par ordre de la reine, prit la parole, et commença ainsi Si la compassion mes ainiables dames, est une vertu qu'on loue beaucoup dans notre sexe, la cruauté, en revanche, est un vice qu'on ne nous pardonne point, et que lajustice divine punit toujours rigoureusement. La nouvelle suivante vous prémunira,je l'espère, contre un défaut si condamnable.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of ten captivating tales written by the renowned Italian author, Giovanni Boccaccio, during the 14th century. Originally written in the vernacular of the time, the tales offer a unique glimpse into the lives, loves, and adventures of people living in medieval Italy. The stories encompass a wide range of themes, from courtly romance and adventure to bawdy humor and social satire. Boccaccio draws inspiration from classical mythology, folklore, and everyday life to craft a rich tapestry of characters and situations that both entertain and provoke thought. Through these tales, the author explores the complexities of human nature, the power of love and desire, and the often-fragile nature of social conventions. Boccaccio's vivid storytelling and keen eye for detail bring these medieval tales to life, making them as relevant and enjoyable for contemporary readers as they were for his original audience. The insights offered into the human condition make this book a timeless classic, ensuring its enduring appeal to readers interested in medieval literature, social history, and the enduring power of storytelling.
