About this audiobook
La raccolta di novelle è stata quasi certamente scritta fra il 1349 e il 1353, all’indomani cioè della terribile pestilenza che dal 1348 devastò l’Europa. Come dice il titolo grecizzante l’azione si svolge e si chiude nel giro di dieci giorni.Dopo un “proemio” indirizzato alle “vaghe donne” che per prova conoscano l’amore, la lunga introduzione alla prima giornata dà un quadro terrificante dell’atmosfera di orrore e di morte che circonda Firenze in preda alla peste. Boccaccio immagina che sette fanciulle e tre giovani uomini si rifugino in una villa dei vicini colli per sfuggire al contagio e per trascorrere un po’ di tempo allegramente fra amabili conversari, banchetti e danze.Ogni giorno, tranne il venerdì e il sabato dedicati a pratiche religiose, i giovani si radunano su un prato, per raccontare novelle, una per ciascuno; queste si svolgono intorno a un tema prestabilito, proposto ogni volta dal re o dalla regina eletti quotidianamente dalla compagnia. Dopo ciascun gruppo di racconti trova posto una “conclusione” suggellata da una ballata.
