This is an automatically translated description

A collection of one hundred short stories by Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio. According to the plot, ten young Florentines (seven women, three men) leave the plague-ridden city, settle in a country villa and for ten days tell interesting and instructive stories (one hundred in total) that broadly reflect various aspects of everyday life in medieval Italy.

The Decameron brought Boccaccio European fame. The Decameron perfectly revealed the genre of the urban novel, which paved the way for the entire Renaissance novel. People were attracted not only by the interest of the stories, the vivid images of the characters, their juicy language, but also by the artistic excellence of Boccaccio's novels, the unconventional interpretation of a number of plots common in previous medieval literature.
