"The Decameron" is the first realist masterpiece in the history of European literature. It tells the story of 10 young men and women who took refuge in a villa during the plague epidemic in Florence in 1348. They feasted all day long and each told a story every day. They told 100 stories in 10 days, hence the name "The Decameron". Many of the stories are based on historical events and medieval legends. In "The Decameron", Boccaccio eulogized worldly life, praised love as the source of wisdom and beautiful sentiments, condemned asceticism, and made a powerful satire on the depravity of the feudal aristocracy and the shameless debauchery of the Catholic Church. The work adopts a frame structure to connect one hundred stories together, making the whole book coherent. The language of the work is concise and humorous, and the characters and objects are described with subtlety.

A world famous book worth reading.
The story is quite interesting, but the premise is that you don't read it with modern concepts.
