El Decamerón es una colección de cien cuentos escritos por Giovanni Boccaccio entre 1349 y 1351. La obra narra la historia de siete damas y tres jóvenes que, para escapar de la peste que asolaba Florencia en 1348, se refugian en una villa en las afueras de la ciudad. Para entretenerse, se reúnen a contar historias, cantar y bailar. Cada día, un rey o reina impone un tema sobre el que cada uno relata un cuento durante diez días, exceptuando los viernes y sábados dedicados a la oración. Esta edición, a cargo de Juan Varela, presenta una selección de los mejores cuentos en una nueva traducción. Esta edición de Castalia Prima incluye una selección de diez cuentos, una guía de lectura, bibliografía y un glosario para facilitar la comprensión de la obra.
Giovanni Boccaccio was an Italian writer, poet, correspondent of Petrarch, and an important Renaissance humanist. Born in the town of Certaldo, he became so well known as a writer that he was sometimes simply known as "the Certaldese". He was one of the most important figures in the European literary panorama of the fourteenth century. Some scholars define him as the greatest European prose writer of his time, a versatile writer who amalgamated different literary trends and genres, making them converge in original works, thanks to a creative activity exercised under the banner of experimentalism.
