Fleeing the Plague epidemic of 1348, ten young people retreat to the Tuscan countryside. This is the setting for Boccaccio’s hundred novellas. Veritable crucibles of the novella genre, these stories intertwine and parody Latin tradition, fabliaux, contemporary chronicle and edifying apologue in an unprecedented formula.
