While the plague ravishes major cities, a group of Italian men and
women seek shelter at a countryside estate telling stories to pass
the time. Giovanni Boccaccio's imaginative writing style elevates
the multilayered novellas ranging from romance to satire. Seven
young women and three men have isolated themselves in a villa
hoping to avoid the looming disease that's consumed their nation.
Every day, as a form of entertainment, each person tells a story to
the group. It must fit a specific theme, keeping the concept fresh
and inspired. The storytelling consists of romance and humor as
well as death and deception. It's a vibrant display of the author's
skill as he produces 100 captivating tales over the course of 10
days. The Decameron is a timely interpretation of isolation in the
midst of a global pandemic. It starts quaint but builds into a
massive narrative that spans genres and themes. With surprising
twists and turns, the book is an engaging text that will keep
readers guessing. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Decameron is
both modern and readable.
