Ten young people flee plague-ridden Florence to shelter in a countryside villa, where they pass time by telling one hundred tales over ten evenings. These stories range from erotic love to tragedy, from clever wit to practical jokes, exploring human nature through tales of lust, ambition, fortune, and folly. The work satirizes medieval society, particularly the clergy, while providing a vivid document of life during the Black Death. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
