About this ebook

Este ebook presenta "El Decamerón", con un sumario dinámico y detallado. El Decamerón es un libro constituido por cien cuentos, algunos de ellos novelas cortas, terminado por Giovanni Boccaccio en 1353, y donde se desarrollan tres temas principales: el amor, la inteligencia humana, y la fortuna. Durante la peste que asoló la ciudad de Florencia en 1348, y de la que el autor fue testigo, diez jóvenes - tres hombres y siete mujeres se reúnen en la iglesia de Santa Isabel María Novella y toman la decisión de retirarse a una villa alejada de la ciudad para escapar a la peste. En este lugar, para evitar recordar los horrores que han dejado atrás, los jóvenes se dedican a relatarse cuentos los unos a los otros. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313 - 1375), fue un escritor y humanista italiano. Es uno de los padres, junto con Dante y Petrarca, de la literatura en italiano. Compuso también varias obras en latín. Es recordado sobre todo como autor del Decamerón. Boccaccio fue autor también de una de las primeras biografías de Dante Alighieri.

Author

Giovanni Boccaccio

Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) was born and raised in Florence, Italy where he initially studied business and canon law. During his career, he met many aristocrats and scholars who would later influence his literary works. Some of his earliest texts include La caccia di Diana, Il Filostrato and Teseida. Boccaccio was a compelling writer whose prose was influenced by his background and involvement with Renaissance Humanism. Active during the late Middle Ages, he is best known for writing The Decameron and On Famous Women.

    The best I have ever read. An amazing tale of times that have passed but how true they hold hundreds of years later. Amazing how Giovanni was allowed to live after the things he wrote about church, sex and etc.

    5/5
    Brilliant, funny, compartmentalized, misogynistic, and very, very, very filthy. If you like peculiar Catholic double entendres, you'll particularly enjoy this.

    I read most of these stories waiting in Logan Airport for a student standby flight many many years ago. They kept me awake all night and I'm sure they would be just as entertaining today in more pleasant conditions.

    As entertaining now as it was 700 years ago.

    This translation of The Decameron is particularly good. More than anything, the translator really conveys the sense of playfulness that is present in Boccaccio's work, which in the hands of a less capable scholar might seem rather cruel and lascivious. The introduction and endnotes to this edition are also excellent. It's a great edition for anyone studying the work in translation, and also a good companion for studying the work in its original language.

    This is a collection of tales told within a frame story of a group of young people who have fled Florence to avoid the plague.The frame story is quite weak and uninteresting, but the tales are great!
  • Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
    4/5
    The 100 stories within the story are generally entertaining, and the whole work provides a window into the 1500's. Most of the stories involve the sexual exploits of nobility and clergy, pranks and tricks between spouses and friends, and adventures abroad.

    This is one of those books that I read in school and enjoyed, but I don't recall if I actually read the entire thing.

    When the Black Death hit Florence, six people fled to an aristocrat's abandoned villa and while enjoying everything available, pass the time telling tales to avoid thinking of the Plague. A wonderful book.
  • Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
    4/5
    10 stories a day, 10 days. Boccaccio's often bawdy tales deliver his characters from the sorrows of the plague and allow fair, gentle ladies (his supposed audience) a literary escape.
  • Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
    4/5
    I was surprised by the wit of each of these 100 stories from the 14th century. (abt. 1353) They were clever, suspenseful, funny and sometimes almost pornographic. The only off-putting theme was the overt domestic violence in a few of the stories; men abusing their wives or mistresses was completely acceptable at the time. They did get even in a few stories though.
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    5/5
    A collections of tales. Smartness wins against prejudice and religion, love against cupidity. Literature wins over death, joy and laughter win against ignorance and desperation. A positive message from a great book. A book that created a language.
  • Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
    2/5
    Verzameling verhaaltjes. Erg gelijkend op Chaucer, maar met een veel hedonistischer saus, gefocust op de relatie tussen mannen en vrouwen. Erg overroepen reputatie, hoewel natuurlijk historisch waardevol
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    5/5
    Utterly compelling and beautiful classic.
  • Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
    4/5
    This seemed surprisingly contemporary to me for a book written in the Middle Ages. The stories were short and peppy and reminded me a lot of 1001 Nights, however the story recursion in Nights is missing here, which I think is better. Crisp, telling, with lots of life lessons and morals, it's very good. However the story topics are so similar that it's a little too tight and becomes redundant...I never made it past halfway through the book because I felt I was reading the same story over and over again with different city, character names, but same protagonist and plot.
