{"product_id":"decameron-v-1-everyman-paperbacks","title":"The Decameron (Volume 1)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten in the mid-14th century by Giovanni Boccaccio as the Black Death ravaged Florence, this foundational masterpiece is structured as a witty, layered frame narrative. Volume 1 introduces a group of ten wealthy young Florentines—seven women and three men—who flee the plague-ridden city to seek refuge in a secluded countryside villa. To pass the hot afternoons, they establish a rotating monarchy where each member rules for a day and dictates a storytelling theme. Volume 1 chronicles the opening five days of this retreat, compiling 50 distinct tales that skip between biting anti-clerical satires, ribald bedroom farces, high-stakes romances, and lessons on the power of human wit and fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giovanni Boccaccio, J M Rigg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50048768475386,"sku":"NEE2\/29\/08062026","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/3387\/5450\/files\/IMG_9825_28fb2c38-dc5e-466e-8eb3-7c5142476fdf.jpg?v=1786319995","url":"https:\/\/flippedpages.com\/products\/decameron-v-1-everyman-paperbacks","provider":"Flipped Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
