Boccaccio Giovanni / Aldington Richard translator / Buckland Wright illustrator
The Decameron.
1998. 2 Volumes complete set. Westminster The Folio Society 1998. 16 cm x 25 cm. 394 323 pages. Original hardcover. Excellent condition with only very minor signs of external wear. Includes for example the following chapters: The First Day: First Tale / The Third Day: Fifth Tale etc. "In the summer of 1348 as the Black Death ravages their city ten young Florentines take refuge in the countryside. Taken from the Greek meaning 'ten-day event' Boccaccio's Decameron sees his characters amuse themselves by each telling a story a day for the ten days of their confinement - a hundred stories of love and adventure life and death and surprising twists of fate. Less preoccupied with abstract concepts of morality or religion than earthly values the tales range from the bawdy Peronella hiding her lover in a tub to Ser Cepperallo who despite his unholy effrontery becomes a Saint. The result is a towering monument of European literature and a masterpiece of imaginative narrative. " Amazon hardcover
