In the summer of 1348, the plague ravages Florence, and ten young
Florentines take refuge in the countryside, where they entertain
themselves with tales of love, death and corruption, featuring a
host of colourful characters, from lascivious clergymen and mad
kings to devious lovers and false miracle-makers. Named after the
Greek for ten days, Boccaccio's book of stories draws on ancient
mythology, contemporary events and everyday life, leaving an
indelible mark on the works of future writers such as Chaucer and
Shakespeare. J.G. Nichols's new translation stays as faithful to
the original as possible while being written in a clear and
eminently modern English, capturing the timeless humour of one of
the great classics of world literature.
