The Black Death, which has ravaged Italy, reaches Florence. Fleeing the epidemic, ten young people decide to leave the city and spend ten days at a country villa, sharing stories.

One of the foundational works of European literature, The Decameron, written in the mid-fourteenth century, paints a vivid picture of the Italian Renaissance. Boccaccio's characters are his contemporaries: aristocrats, merchants, notaries, bankers, and artisans. But his novellas are full of keen observations of human nature that resonate with us today, and a book written almost seven hundred years ago allows us to see our reality with fresh eyes.

The publication is accompanied by engravings by the French artist Jacques Wagre, first published in 1890.
