About This Item
Folio Society, London, 1st thus. Hardcover. Fine. "In the summer of 1348, as the Black Death ravages their city, ten young Florentines take refuge in the countryside. They amuse themselves by each telling a story a day for the ten days they are destined to remain there... Less preoccupied with abstract concepts of morality or religion than with earthly values, the tales range from the bawdy Peronella hiding her lover in a tub to Ser Cepperello, who, despite his unholy effrontery, becomes a Saint. 100 tales with a framework story written in 1349. Revised by Boccaccio in 1370-1. The result is a towering monument of European literature and a masterpiece of imaginative narrative."" [Pub. Info] Slipcase is in Fine condition. 1ST THUS. Beautifully produced book.1ST THUS. Deluxe Edition.
