Decameron

Fleeing from the plague that took half of Italy's population, three young men and seven young women go to a country estate. There, for ten days, they tell each other stories that celebrate life in all its manifestations: from the beautiful and sublime to the base and terrifying.
The collection of novellas "Decameron" has become one of the main works of the Renaissance era. In our edition — the classic translation by the outstanding philologist, academician A. N. Veselovsky.
