About the author

Giovanni Boccaccio (1313 - 1375) was an Italian author and poet, a friend and correspondent of Petrarch, and an important Renaissance humanist in his own right and author of a number of notable works including the Decameron, On Famous Women, and his poetry in the Italian vernacular. Boccaccio is particularly notable for his dialogue, of which it has been said that it surpasses in verisimilitude that of just about all of his contemporaries, since they were medieval writers and often followed formulaic models for character and plot.

Tuscan idyl. Pastoral simplicity and its loss.

Menomale che poi ha scritto il Decameron

《〈十日谈〉的真相》《父权社会如何运转》《强奸行为的合理化指南》。按导读作者的说法这是薄伽丘最像《十日谈》的诗体作品。在我看来，如果对你来说，《十日谈》主要是一部“有趣”的、通俗的作品，那你最好永远不要打开这本书；但如果你想要把《十日谈》当作某种严肃的文学，此书则不可不读。这个版本的注释可能是专门面向需要课堂阅读材料的大学生所作的，所以把整部书注成了一部十四世纪意大利语辞典（书末附语言学术语表，随时有对术语的通俗解释，同一个词汇/语法现象如果相隔太远还会重新注一遍，就这点来说，呃，还怪好用的），关于作品的内容却几乎一字不提。Bur的电子版排版已经不止是灾难，从未见过一个诗节的注释会整段横插到诗节中间的，这真的甚至不如早年很多手打的盗版书……

Togliamoci di dosso il pregiudizio che etichetta tutte le opere di Boccaccio che non siano il "Decameron" come opere minori: il "Ninfale fiesolano" è un capolavoro della letteratura italiana.

dovevano morire tutti prima

[Alberto Martínez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Y pensar que en la escuela perdimos tantísimo tiempo leyendo cosas medievales y lejos de Italia.
Boccaccio y este libro sí la rifan y en serio. Inolvidables los versos donde describe el cópulo de la pareja protagonista. Elegante y perversillo como muy pocos.

A very dated, almost adolescent book. It must have lost a great deal in translation, too. Disappointing given the timelessness of most of the Decameron. I'll still give his other minor works a look.
