The Decameron
Giovanni Boccaccio, Mark Musa (Übersetzer/in), Peter Bondanella (Übersetzer/in), Thomas Goddard Bergin (Autor/in des Vorworts)
The Decameron (c.1351) is an entertaining series of one hundred stories written in the wake of the Black Death. The stories are told in a country villa outside the city of Florence by ten young noble men and women who are seeking to escape the ravages of the plague. Boccaccio's skill as a dramatist is masterfully displayed in these vivid portraits of people from all stations in life, with plots that revel in a bewildering variety of human reactions
