The Decameron (c.1351) was written in the wake of the Black Death, a shattering epidemic which had shaken Florence's confident entrepreneurial society to its core. In a country villa outside the city, ten young noble men and women who have escaped the plague decide to tell each other stories. Boccaccio's skill as a dramatist is masterfully displayed in this virtuoso performance of one hundred tales, vivid portraits of people from all stations in life, with plots which revel in a bewildering variety of human reactions. Themes are playfully restated from one story to another within an elegant and refined framework. One of Chaucer's most fruitful sources for the Canterbury Tales, Boccaccio's work artfully combines the essential ingredients of narrative: fate and desire, crises and quick-thinking. This new translation by Guido Waldman captures the exuberance and variety and tone of Boccaccio's masterpiece.

評分初1的時候讀瞭這本書感覺自己被忽悠瞭,去找語文老師,老師曰:隻有閱讀人類齷齪的一麵纔能體會到世界的美好。 撞牆中。
評分 評分 評分終於把《十日談》這本巨冊的書給翻完瞭,書中一百個故事,思想境界不在同一水準,存在較高比例的平庸的故事。所以看這書大可不必像我這樣無聊,把一百個故事逐一看一次,這樣很浪費時間。 我看到第二日的時候就準備找這種節選的單子,但是沒能找到。所以,為瞭以後誰誰誰看這本...
