«Histórias eróticas» is a selection of erotic tales by Giovanni Boccaccio, published by Edições Quasi in paperback (94 pages, in Portuguese).
The work brings together a selection of stories from the «Decamerón» by Giovanni Boccaccio. His tales portray with realism a medieval society observed with mockery, where humor, imagination, sensuality and mischief mix; the result is a satirical and very human look at the relationships and desires of its time.
The book bears the subtitle «Extraídas do Decâmeron», with a Portuguese translation by Urbano Tavares Rodrigues; the edition is from 2008.
For readers interested in medieval classics and short stories with irony and eroticism.
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.
