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 - a
hundred stories of love, adventure and surprising twists of fate. Less
preoccupied with abstract concepts of morality or religion than earthly values,
the tales range from the bawdy Peronella hiding her lover in a tub to Ser
Cepperallo, who, despite his unholy effrontery, becomes a Saint. The result is a
towering monument of European literature and a masterpiece of imaginative
narrative.
