The Decameron. E-book. Formato EPUB Giovanni Boccaccio - Books On Demand, 2019 -
As often, most gracious ladies, as, taking thought in myself, I mind me how very pitiful you are all by nature, so often do I recognize that this present work will, to your thinking, have a grievous and a weariful beginning, inasmuch as the dolorous remembrance of the late pestiferous mortality, which it beareth on its forefront, is universally irksome to all who saw or otherwise knew it. But I would not therefore have this affright you from reading further, as if in the reading you were still to fare among sighs and tears. Let this grisly beginning be none other to you than is to wayfarers a rugged and steep mountain, beyond which is situate a most fair and delightful plain, which latter cometh so much the pleasanter to them as the greater was the hardship of the ascent and the descent; for, like as dolour occupieth the extreme of gladness, even so are miseries determined by imminent joyance. This brief annoy (I say brief, inasmuch as it is contained in few pages) is straightway succeeded by the pleasance and delight which I have already promised you and which, belike, were it not aforesaid, might not be looked for from such a beginning. And in truth, could I fairly have availed to bring you to my desire otherwise than by so rugged a path as this will be I had gladly done it; but being in a manner constrained thereto, for that, without this reminiscence of our past miseries, it might not be shown what was the occasion of the coming about of the things that will hereafter be read, I have brought myself to write them.
Das DecameroneVollständige deutsche Ausgabe aller 100 Erzählungen. E-book. Formato EPUB Giovanni Boccaccio - Books On Demand, 2018 -
Das »Decamerone« (auch: »Dekameron«) von Giovanni Boccaccio ist eine Sammlung von 100 Novellen. Die Erzählungen sind in eine Rahmenhandlung eingebettet. Sieben Frauen und drei Männer flüchten aus dem pestverseuchten Florenz des Jahres 1348 für zehn Tage aufs Land. Die Atmosphäre auf dem Landgut ist heiter und ungezwungen. Sie beschließen, sich jeden Tag zehn Geschichten zu einem recht weit gefassten Themenbereich zu erzählen. Viele Geschichten erzählen von Liebe und Erotik, ohne zotig oder aufdringlich zu werden. Nach zehn Tagen beschließen die jungen Leute, nach Florenz zurückzukehren.Das Dekameron ist ein Meisterwerk der Weltliteratur. Es wurde stilprägend für fast alle nachfolgenden Novellensammlungen. Geoffrey Chaucer (»Canterbury-Erzählungen«) und Cervantes (»Don Quijote«) bezogen sich auf das Dekameron von Giovanni Boccaccio.
Ninfale fiesolano. E-book. Formato EPUB Giovanni Boccaccio - Bur, 2013 -
Poemetto mitologico in ottave sulle origini della civiltà in Toscana, il Ninfale fiesolano è un'opera matura, che giunge a sigillare una stagione letteraria e rivela il genio poetico di Boccaccio in tutta la sua pienezza. La storia dell'amore tragico fra il pastore Africo e la ninfa Mensola è cantata con acutezza e profondità psicologica e, se è vero che l'autore decide di ambientare la vicenda in un tempo imprecisato e remoto, un tempo precedente a quello della storia, è altrettanto vero che egli cala senza impaccio all'interno di questa cronologia favolosa una capacità spregiudicata e puntuale di descrizione dei moti umani, di spiegazione degli affetti, che mostra già i tratti del capolavoro narrativo del Decameron.
