The Decameron is one of the greatest literary works of the Middle Ages. Ten young people have fled the terrible effects of the Black Death in Florence and, in an idyllic setting, tell a series of brilliant stories, by turns humorous, bawdy, tragic and provocative. This celebration of physical and sexual vitality is Boccaccio's answer to the sublime other-worldliness of Dante's Divine Comedy.

Story0
The Decameron, subtitled Prencipe Galeotto, is a captivating collection of 100 novellas by the renowned Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio. Likely begun in 1350 and completed by 1353, this medieval masterpiece is celebrated for its rich tapestry of love stories that range from the erotic to the tragic. Its influence is undeniable, with many great writers, including Shakespeare and Chaucer, drawing inspiration from its bawdy and thought-provoking tales. (from Wikipedia)

Story0
Firenze, 1348. La peste nera infuria, e un gruppo di giovani sta cercando di fuggire da essa. Alla ricerca di un rifugio sicuro, si ritrovano in campagna. Nell'arco di dieci giorni, per passare il tempo, si raccontano un centinaio di storie fantastiche, tristi ed elaborate. Un ricco arazzo di tragedia e commedia, di farsa e di erotismo, "Il Decameron" è un capolavoro della prosa italiana. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) è stato uno studioso, uno scrittore e un poeta italiano.

Set against the shadow of the Black Plague, The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio is a radiant tapestry of love, wit, tragedy, and the triumph of the human spirit. When Florence is ravaged by pestilence, ten young nobles—seven women and three men—flee to a countryside villa to escape the horrors of the city. Over ten days, they pass the time by telling one hundred stories: tales of romance and folly, devotion and deception, virtue and vice.

Zehn Florentiner Adlige, die im Pestjahr 1348 aus der Stadt fliehen, erzählen einander Geschichten, um sich die Zeit zu vertreiben. In diesen wird leidenschaftlich geliebt, inbrünstig gehasst, gelitten, betrogen und schamlos verführt. Den Sprechern dieses bunten Erzählreigens, darunter Größen wie Gert Westphal, Uwe Friedrichsen u. v. a., gelingt es, Boccaccios burlesken Tonfall mittels einer fein bemessenen Ironie und dank eines unbestechlichen Gespürs für Situationskomik aufs Trefflichste zu veredeln.
