Giovanni Boccaccio, translated by J. M. RiggThe Decameron (March 15, 2009)

LibriVox recording of The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio, translated by J. M. Rigg, and read by LibriVox volunteers.

The Decameron (subtitle: Prencipe Galeotto) is a collection of 100 novellas by Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio, probably begun in 1350 and finished in 1353. It is a medieval allegorical work best known for its bawdy tales of love, appearing in all its possibilities from the erotic to the tragic. Many notable writers such as Shakespeare and Chaucer are said to have borrowed from The Decameron. (from Wikipedia)

Reviewer: Kevint60 - [5.0 out of 5 stars] - March 26, 2009
Subject: Wonderful, funny, amazing stories
Have not listened yet (dling now), but read this delightful book some years ago. The stories are amazingly contemporary, or love, lust, greed and intrigue have not changed at all in hundreds of years. Great book.
