About This Novel

"The Decameron" (1348-1353) is the first realist masterpiece in the history of European literature. The work begins with a prologue, describing what happened to ten young men and women who took refuge in a villa in the countryside against the background of the plague in Florence. Each of the ten young people told a story every day, and a total of one hundred stories were told in ten days, hence the name "The Decameron". Each story is of different lengths and all-inclusive in content, and humanistic thought is the main thread running through the book.
