The Decameron - Audiobook

The Decameron is one of the most joyful, daring, and human books ever written. Set in 14th-century Florence, it gathers ten young men and women who flee the plague to a secluded villa, where they pass the days by telling stories — a hundred tales of love, wit, deception, and fortune.

Through these voices, Boccaccio captures every shade of human nature, from innocence to cunning, devotion to desire. His storytellers speak with freedom and humor, finding in laughter a way to defy despair and affirm life itself.

Playful yet profound, The Decameron celebrates resilience and imagination in the face of mortality. It is not only a monument of Italian literature but also a reminder that storytelling — even in the darkest times — is humanity's most life-affirming art.
