A review by designwise
The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio

2.0

A 700-year old Monty Python written during the Black Plague. If you don't mind sexist humor from an era when wife-beating was the rule of thumb, you will love this classic. A hundred folk tales bound up in a single volume wherein the wealthy avoid the pandemic by eating, drinking, dancing, and storytelling. I found it a labor to read and impossible to accept as entertainment. Seek out Canterbury Tales of Tales of the Arabian Nights instead.
