Giovanni Boccaccio 
Decameron [EPUB ebook] 

The ‚Decameron‘, also called ‚Prince Galehaut‘, is a 14th-century medieval allegory by Giovanni Boccaccio, told as a frame story encompassing 100 tales by ten young people. The book’s primary title exemplifies Boccaccio’s fondness for Greek philology: Decameron combines two Greek words, Greek: déka (‚ten‘) and (Greek: hēméra (‚day‘), to form a term that means ‚ten-day event‘. Ten days is the time period in which the characters of the frame story tell their tales.
