Decameron in 3 Volumes

The plague, the Black Death, which struck Italy, reaches Florence.
Fleeing from the epidemic, ten young people decide to leave the city and spend ten days at a country villa, telling each other stories...
One of the foundational works of European literature,... "Decameron," created in the mid-fourteenth century, paints a vivid picture of the Italian Renaissance era.
The heroes of Boccaccio are his contemporaries: aristocrats, merchants, notaries, bankers, artisans.
But his tales are full of sharp observations of human nature, which resonate and are understandable to us even today, and the book, written almost seven hundred years ago, allows us to view our reality with new eyes.
The edition is accompanied by engravings of the French artist Jacques Callot, first printed in 1890.
