The Decameron is an absolute classic of world literature. This 14th-century Italian work remains entirely readable and accessible. The main story: seven young women and three young men living in Florence have decided to try to escape the ravages of the plague, the Black Death, that has hit the city. They decide to flee to a villa in the country. Once there, they agree to pass the time by each of them telling one story each day for ten days. These one hundred short tales of love are extraordinarily entertaining, exciting, bawdy and full of life. A real classic for a good reason. Explore this bookThe DecameronByGiovanni Boccaccio,
Magical realism is accepting the impossible as a premise. José Saramago creates an inexplicable epidemic of "white blindness" which spares few in a single city. Authorities confine the blind to an empty mental hospital, where they are victimized by criminals who hold everyone captive, steal food rations, and rape women. One eyewitness to this nightmare guides seven strangers through barren city streets in an uncanny procession through fearsome surroundings. A magnificent parable of loss and disorientation and a vivid evocation of the horrors of the twentieth century, this powerful novel of man's will to survive against all odds. José Saramago was awarded the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature.
