Features: This book is set against the backdrop of the great plague in Florence at that time. Ten young men and women, to escape the disaster, lived outside the city for ten days. During those ten days, each person told a story every day to pass the time, totaling one hundred stories. These stories involve all social strata, from kings, nobles, and clergy at the top to merchants, artisans, and farmers at the bottom. The narrative language is vivid and lively, and the characters are portrayed vividly.
