Synopsis
The Decameron is a tale of tales: a group of travelers in medieval Italy seeking refuge from the Black Plague share stories with each other, each day working within a theme like "love tales that end happily" or "the power of fortune." There's a bit of everything here, including true love (within marriage and outside it), mythology fused with medieval events, tyrants and pirates confounded, jealousy punished and intelligence rewarded, bawdy comedy and romantic loss. Boccaccio's travelers share their love of physical, emotional, and even spiritual joys, and their appreciation of the dangers and troubles along the way.

About the Author
Giovanni Boccaccio (1313 - 1375) was an Italian writer, poet, correspondent of Petrarch and an important Renaissance humanist. Boccaccio wrote a number of notable works, including The Decameron and On Famous Women. He wrote his imaginative literature mostly in the Italian vernacular, as well as other works in Latin and is particularly noted for his realistic dialogue which differed from that of his contemporaries, medieval writers who usually followed formulaic models for character and plot.
