The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio

5.0

---

Sheer genius. Boccaccio's short tales range in genres, from the fantastic to the everyday, yet each belies the heart of human nature, which apparently hasn't changed much since the 1300s! This is the pre-Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and lesser-known by the general public. A shame!
