The great Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio can rightfully be considered one of the founders of modern fiction in all directions and genres. His famous novel The Decameron, written in 1353, became a true milestone on the endless journey of mankind to itself - sometimes ironic, a little romantic, often cynical and always sinful, but unique in each of its personalities. Books like the Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio are relatively rare in the world - the last time it happened in 1353. It is hard to believe, but the relevance of the problems raised by the author has not lost its significance at all over the past period: people still walk to the left in search of great and pure love, commit rash acts and generally lead an unhealthy lifestyle, and most importantly, they love to talk, listen and read instructive stories about all this. In their hearts, of course, many would prefer to participate in them themselves - what to do, such is the great power of art. Or maybe the whole thing is just in the southern climate and the talent of the storyteller, who so attractively depicted bright, original, sinful and passionate portraits of his contemporaries ... For a wide range of readers who want to properly understand what the Ten Commandments are, and also the seven deadly sins. Wonderful edition with color illustrations by Y. Greshkovich.
