About This Book

A collection of one hundred stories told by ten young people who have fled the Black Death in Florence.

The tales range from humorous to tragic and reflect the social and moral concerns of fourteenth-century Italy.

Originally written in the 1350s, the work remains an important example of early European prose fiction.
