“Human it is to have compassion on the unhappy”

― Giovanni Boccaccio

‘The Decameron’ is one of the most famous novels of the 14th-century. Written by humanist author Giovanni Boccaccio, ‘Decameron’ is a collection of short stories and tales told by a group of friends who are seeking to escape the Black Death in Florence, Italy. The stories cover a wide variety of topics including jokes and humor, erotic love, tragedy, adventures, and folk and mythology tales.

Fascinating and at times provocative, this late 19th-century edition was published by G. Charpentier as a complete work, two-volumes bound in one.
