| Description: An Italian masterpiece and one of the most important collections of short fiction in the history of world literature, The Decameron is also the story of ten college-aged Florentines who isolate themselves in the countryside in an attempt to escape from the plague. Sound familiar? The community they form and the tales they tell each other are as pertinent to our lives today as they were in the years of the bubonic plague. |
