The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio

Summary

Ten young Florentines flee the plague of 1348 to a country villa, and each tells a story a day for ten days. Boccaccio's hundred tales of love, trickery and fortune, here in John Payne's translation, are among the great story collections. This edition omits one or more passages describing sexual acts involving children; each omission is marked in the text. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
