"Seemingly simple but fruitful reading! The Decameron's main achievement is in its ability to create a harmonious sense of order out of a naturally anarchic raw material- human life. "

    " This two CD audio abridgement includes a few stories from The Decameron. This is the medieval foundation of Benny Hill. Interesting and racy two hours. "

    " Very engaging tales, reminiscent of fables in style. Not exactly feminist, but progressive for the times, bit naw-tee even. For a long-ish book, read pretty quick. "

    " 700 years later and Boccaccio's tales are still humorous, relevant, and meaningful. "

About Giovanni Boccaccio

Giovanni Boccaccio (1313–1375) was an Italian author and poet, a friend and correspondent of Petrarch, and an important Renaissance humanist. As a writer he is particularly notable for the verisimilitude of his dialogue, in an age when most writers followed formulaic models for character and plot.
