«El Decamerón (II)» is the second part of Giovanni Boccaccio's tales, in hardcover, published by Club Internacional del Libro (318 pages, Spanish).
Ten young people flee the plague ravaging Florence in 1348 and take refuge in a country villa; for ten days they take turns telling stories. Their tales, amorous, comic and sometimes tragic in tone, offer a very vivid picture of fourteenth-century society.
Volume 20 of the Grandes Genios de la Literatura Universal collection, published in 1983.
Tapa blanda
Giovanni Boccaccio was an Italian writer, poet, correspondent of Petrarch, and an important Renaissance humanist. Born in the town of Certaldo, he became so well known as a writer that he was sometimes simply known as "the Certaldese". He was one of the most important figures in the European literary panorama of the fourteenth century. Some scholars define him as the greatest European prose writer of his time, a versatile writer who amalgamated different literary trends and genres, making them converge in original works, thanks to a creative activity exercised under the banner of experimentalism.
