The Decameron presents one hundred tales told by a group of young Florentines who flee the Black Death and retreat to the countryside, where they entertain one another with stories of love, wit, deception, fortune, morality, desire, religion and human behaviour. Giovanni Boccaccio combines humour, satire, tragedy and social observation in a foundational work of Renaissance literature that explores medieval society with realism, irony and narrative brilliance.
