Product Description
Bawdy and moving, hilarious and reflective - these stories offer the very best of Boccaccio''s Decameron in a brilliant, playful new translation.
This hugely enjoyable volume collects the best stories of Boccaccio''s masterwork in a fresh, accessible new translation by Peter Hainsworth. It includes such celebrated, thought-provoking tales as ''Isabella and the Pot of Basil'' (famously adapted by Keats) and ''Patient Griselda'' alongside many boisterous and daring stories featuring faithless wives, philandering priests and curious nuns.
