Eine Gruppe junger Leute flüchtet aus dem von der Pest geplagten Florenz im 14. Jahrhundert für einige Tage auf ein Landgut in den umliegenden Bergen. Sie vertreiben sich die Zeit, indem sie sich gegenseitig Geschichten erzählen. Jeden Tag ist ein anderer für Thema und Unterhaltung verantwortlich. Mit diesem Kunstgriff schafft Giovanni Boccaccio eine große Vielfalt an Stimmungen und Erzählstilen in einem Werk. Die Erzählungen handeln von Liebe, Erotik, Freundschaft, Intrigen, und Weisheit. Auch der Klerus des mittelalterlichen Italiens wird kritisch bedacht. Das «Dekameron» von Giovanni Boccacchio wurde zu einem großen Klassiker der Weltliteratur, von zahlreichen nachfolgenden Schriftstellern zitiert, adaptiert, und vielfach verfilmt.

Als Giovanni 13 Jahre alt war, kam er in die Lehre zu einem Geldwechsler, aber nach sechsjähriger kaufmännischer Tätigkeit erlangte er die Erlaubnis, in Neapel, in dem er sich eben befand, zum Studium überzugehen, und zwar zum Studium des kanonischen Rechtes. Doch in der üppigen Stadt scheint sich der Jüngling mehr in das Studium der Liebe und der ihn umgebenden menschlichen Leidenschaften vertieft, als kühle Weisheit gekostet zu haben, und als er Ostern 1334 in einer Kirche Neapels eine Frau sah, die sein Herz sofort in Flammen versetzte, war es mit dem Studium erst recht vorbei. Als Fiammetta hat Boccaccio diese Frau poetisch verherrlicht; in der Tat war sie eine natürliche Tochter König Roberts von Neapel, Donna Maria, die Gattin eines vornehmen Edelmannes. Sie fand eine Zeitlang an dem jungen Florentiner Gefallen und ward seine Geliebte.

This carefully crafted ebook: «The Most Pleasant and Delectable Questions of Love (The Unabridged Original English Translation)» is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. This is a translation of Boccaccio`s «Il libro di Difinizioni», first translated into English by «H.G.» (probably Henry Grantham) in London, 1566. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313 – 21 December 1375) was an Italian author and poet, a friend, student, and correspondent of Petrarch, an important Renaissance humanist and the author of a number of notable works including the Decameron, On Famous Women, and his poetry in the Italian vernacular. Boccaccio is particularly notable for his dialogue, of which it has been said that it surpasses in verisimilitude that of virtually all of his contemporaries, since they were medieval writers and often followed formulaic models for character and plot.

This carefully crafted ebook: «The Decameron: The Classic Translation of John Payne» is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. John Payne's translation of The Decameron was originally published in a private printing for The Villon Society, London in 1886. Comprised of 100 novellas told by ten men and women over a ten day journey fleeing plague-infested Florence, the Decameron is an allegorical work famous for its bawdy portrayals of everyday life, its searing wit and mockery, and its careful adherence to a framed structure. The word «decameron» is derived from the Greek and means «ten days». Boccaccio drew on many influences in writing the Decameron, and many writers, including Martin Luther, Chaucer, and Keats, later drew inspiration from the book. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) was an Italian writer and humanist, one of the founders of the Renaissance. He studied business but abandoned it eventually to pursue his literary interests. In 1350 Boccaccio met Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch) (1304-1374), one the most important figures in the beginnings of the Renaissance and Humanism.

Джованни Боккаччо (1313–1375), один из виднейших итальянских литераторов эпохи Возрождения, создал повесть «Фьямметта» в 1343 году. Конечно, произведение несет на себе отпечаток тех времен, поэтому сейчас переживания главной героини могут показаться немного наивными, но сама тема произведения – любовь – будет актуальна всегда. Исследователи предполагают, что Фьямметта – псевдоним, под которым Боккаччо скрывает имя своей возлюбленной. Псевдоним присутствует во многих произведениях автора, в том числе в знаменитом «Декамероне», отрывки из которого, тематически перекликающиеся с «Фьямметтой», также представлены в данном издании.
