ABOUT THE WORK The Decameron subtitled Prince Galehaut is a collection of short stories by the 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio 1313-1375. It is sometimes nicknamed l'Umana commedia The Human Comedy as it was Boccaccio that dubbed Dante Alighieri's Comedy 'Divine'. The book is structured as a frame story containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men; they shelter in a secluded villa just outside Florence in order to escape the Black Death which was afflicting the city. The epidemic is likely what Boccaccio used for the basis of the book which was thought to be written between 1348 and 1353. The various tales of love in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic. Tales of wit practical jokes and life lessons also contribute to the mosaic. In addition to its literary value and widespread influence for example on Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales it provides a document of life at the time. Written in the vernacular of the Florentine language it is considered a masterpiece of early Italian prose. Boccaccio was one of the most important figures in the European literary panorama of the fourteenth century. Some scholars including Vittore Branca 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. ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR Louis Chalon 1862 -1915 was a French painter illustrator goldsmith and silversmith and sculptor. Chalon studied with Jules-Joseph Lefebvre and Boulanger. He showed his classically inspired paintings at the salons of the Société des Artistes Français in Paris from 1880 to 1911 where he received numerous awards.

Hardbound Clothbinding. 8vo or 8° Medium Octavo: 7¾" x 9¾" tall. 356 pp. A rare hard-to-find out-of-print scarce true collectible gem! An excellent addition to any collection!

Synopsis: 'Amorous Fiammetta' is a landmark of early European literature often cited as one of the first psychological novels ever written. Composed by the celebrated Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio this evocative prose work shifts the traditional focus of courtly romance to the internal emotional landscape of its protagonist. Narrated from the first-person perspective of a noblewoman in Naples the story chronicles Fiammetta's passionate affair with a young Florentine merchant named Panfilo and the profound despair that follows his departure.Through its intimate exploration of longing jealousy and abandonment 'Amorous Fiammetta' offers a sophisticated portrayal of female desire and suffering. Boccaccio's mastery of narrative technique allows readers to experience the protagonist's shifting moods-from the heights of infatuation to the depths of suicidal ideation-making it a precursor to the modern novel of character. This work remains a vital contribution to Renaissance literature reflecting the complexities of human emotion and the social constraints of the 14th century. Scholars and lovers of classic literature alike will find 'Amorous Fiammetta' to be a compelling study of the human heart rich with classical allusions and timeless psychological insight.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
