Sobre este artículo
Handling wear to the cover, bumping to the corners and spine, some marks and stains to the boards, some rubbing to the spine title and a split running 1/5 of the way down the front hinge. Inside the book has a small amount of splitting along the front hinge on the front end-papers, foxing throughout and a water stain running throughout the bottom corner of some of the pages and about 7 of the illustrations.
Sinopsis
In the summer of 1348, as the Black Death ravages their city, ten young Florentines take refuge in the countryside. They amuse themselves by each telling a story a day for the ten days they are destined to remain there - a hundred stories of love, adventure and surprising twists of fate. Less preoccupied with abstract concepts of morality or religion than earthly values, the tales range from the bawdy Peronella hiding her lover in a tub to Ser Cepperallo, who, despite his unholy effrontery, becomes a Saint. The result is a towering monument of European literature and a masterpiece of imaginative narrative.
