Description
The Decameron is one of the greatest literary works of the Middle Ages. Ten young people have fled the terrible effects of the Black Death in Florence and, in an idyllic setting, tell a series of brilliant stories, by turns humorous, bawdy, tragic and provocative. This celebration of physical and sexual vitality is Boccaccio's answer to the sublime other-worldliness of Dante's Divine Comedy.

Short story paradise
Here are 100 stories beautifully read by a fine cast. They are particularly apropos in this time of coronavirus.
The sharp divide between classes (beautiful princesses, handsome princes, oafish working classes) can be jarring. The glory of Christianity as opposed to other religions can also jar, although the Grand Poohbahs of Christianity, from the pope on down, get a good lambasting. Some of the morality is questionable too, with clever lovers lauded for outwitting their thick spouses. But, hey, it’s plague time — make hay while the sun shines.
Seven beautiful women and three handsome dudes from the upper classes manage to snag a couple of top-notch mansions outside of Florence, fully furnished with servants, food, wine, etc. Thousands of people are dying of the plague in Florence, but these twenty-somethings get to wine, dine and play music at their leisure against a pastoral background. And, oh yes, they each tell a story a day. That’s 100 stories over two weeks with time off on the weekend. It’s fun and the stories are not long. They are perfect listening for (say) a half-hour trip to work.

I listen to this book all the time. I love all the lil bits because I can come and go from my speaker and catch up quickly.
