As dez melhores histórias do Decamerão (Biblioteca Diamante)

Rate this book
Escrito em meados do século XIV, O Decamerão rompeu com os valores medievais e, inserindo as ambiguidades da condição humana no centro da criação artística, abriu caminho para o Renascimento. Esta edição, com organização e apresentação do poeta Marco Lucchesi, reúne dez das melhores histórias da obra de Boccaccio, todas elas ambientadas em meio à Grande Peste de 1341 — que, num diálogo inspirador com os novos tempos pandêmicos, fazem um apelo em defesa da arte e da vida.

About the author

Giovanni Boccaccio

1,833 books585 followers
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.

Histórias divertidas para se ler. Uma boa coleção, que não repete os temas abordados, evitando o que acontece na obra original. É uma leitura leve e rápida.
