The Decameron : Selected Tales Paperback / softback
by Giovanni Boccaccio
Edited by Don Beecher, Massimo Ciavolella
Paperback / softback
Description
This edition presents 33 of the 100 tales, with at least two from each of the ten days of storytelling.
Boccaccio's general introduction and conclusion to the work are also included, as are the introduction and conclusion to the first day; the reader is thus provided with a real sense of the Decameron's framing narrative.
Extensive explanatory notes are provided, and the volume is prefaced by a concise but wide-ranging introduction to Boccaccio's life and times, as well as to the Decameron itself.
A unique selection of contextual materials concludes the volume.
