The Decameron
Read a sample about 1,207 minutes
While the Black Death empties Florence in 1348, seven young women and three young men retreat to villas in the hills and pass ten days telling a hundred stories. Clever wives, lusty friars, merchants and kings fill tales that are by turns bawdy, tragic and very funny.
