Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-75) was an early Italian author and poet, a student and friend of Petrarch. Excerpts are read by top British actors including Rupert Friend, Coral Beed, James Rawlings and Maimie McCoy. A rude, crude, bawdy and often hilarious collection of sexy tongue-in-cheek tales, The Decameron is a fourteenth-century Italian collection of 100 novellas which heavily influenced the style and content of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales with its bawdy tales of love, adventure and religion. All stories are complete and unabridged
