Story
Composed in the early 1350s, in the wake of the Black Death, The Decameron comprises 100 short stories from all over the world, reset by Boccaccio among the flourishing merchant classes of Renaissance Italy. Their universal themes—love, sex, religion, fate, morality—resonate with us to this day, and their witty, satirical, bawdy voice sounds utterly modern. Monty Python star and medieval historian Terry Jones presents ten BBC Radio dramatisations of tales from Giovanni Boccaccio's humane and comic masterpiece

Story
"Nun wohl", sagte die Königin der geretteten Seelen, "Hier ist es, wie ihr seht, kühl und angenehm zu weilen, und jeder kann hier seinem Vergnügen nachgehen. Die schwarze Pest ist fern. In Lust und Freuden müssen wir leben, denn aus keinem andern Grund sind wir dem Jammer der Stadt hierher entflohen. Möge jeder eine Geschichte von beliebigem Inhalt erzählen." Darauf wandte sie sich zu Panfilo und forderte ihn freundlich auf, mit einer Geschichte aus seinem Vorrat den Anfang zu machen.

Story
Das Dekameron oder Il Decamerone ist eine Sammlung von 100 Novellen, die der Feder von Giovanni Boccaccio entstammen. Die Abfassung erfolgte aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach zwischen 1349 und 1353. Der Titel Decamerone bedeutet - in Anlehnung an das Griechische - "Zehn-Tage-Werk". Es handelt sich um ein stilbildendes Werk, das zum Vorbild fast aller weiteren abendländischen Novellensammlungen geworden ist...

Story
1348, die Pest wütet in Italien: Sieben Frauen und drei Männer flüchten sich gemeinsam auf ein Landgut in den Hügeln von Florenz. Fernab der Stadt geben sich die Freunde Spielen und Tanz hin und erzählen einander frivole Geschichten von glücklich Verliebten, gehörnten Ehemännern und listigen Frauen. Zehn Tage bleiben sie auf dem Landgut, und am Ende haben sie hundert Geschichten beisammen - auf diese Weise, so erzählt es Boccaccio, sei das »Decamerone« entstanden.

Story
Boccace a trente-cinq ans en 1348 quand, "juste effet de la colère de Dieu", éclate la grande peste qui flagelle l'Italie. Composé dans les années qui suivent, le "Livre des dix journées" s'ouvrira sur ce tableau apocalyptique, à la force grandiose et terrible, qui n'a rien à envier à la description de la peste d'Athènes chez Thucydide. C'est en effet dans ce contexte que sept jeunes filles courtoises et trois jeunes hommes qui ont conservé leur noblesse d'âme se retirent sur les pentes enchanteresses de Fiesole.
