The Decameron
Giovanni Boccaccio
Available as Downloadable audio
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.
These complete and unabridged stories are performed for audio by various British actors including Nigel Planer, Rupert Friend, Coral Beed and James Rawlings.
“Seven and a half centuries after they were written, the outrageous bawdiness of these tales, coupled with their delicate language, will make even the grumpiest smile.”
