Giovanni Boccaccio

Giovanni Boccaccios verdskjende klassikar i nytt utval. Året er 1348. Ti ungdomar flyktar frå svartedauden som herjar i Firenze, og isolerer seg i ein villa på landet. Alle er friske, og i ti dagar underheld dei kvarandre med å fortelje historier. Dette er ramma for «Dekameronen», eit ord som på norsk kan omsetjast til «Dei ti dagane». Storverket frå 1353 omfattar 101 historier på nærare 1000 sider. I dette utvalet finn du tolv av dei forrykande forteljingane. Vi har òg teke med eit utdrag fra. Boccaccios skakande vitnesbyrd frå pesten i Firenze. Boccaccios historier har mykje til felles med eventyra - dei handlar om kløktige tenestefolk og dumme herrar, om lausaktige kvinnfolk og kåte elskarar. Dei spenner frå erotikk til satire, frå det tragiske til det komiske, frå røff humor til livsvisdom. «Dekameronen» vert rekna som verdas første novellesamling og er ein grunnstein og eit vendepunkt i verdslitteraturen. Boka er eit av verdas mest betydelege verk og har inspirert forfattarar som Geoffrey Chauser, William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes og Jonathan Swift. Meir enn noko anna er dette eit skattkammer av gode soger. Til norsk ved Magnus Ulleland, Utval og føreord ved Jon Rognlien.

Das Dekameron, Il Decamerone, ist eine mittelalterliche satirisch-allegorische Novellensammlung von Giovanni Boccaccio aus dem 14. Jahrhundert. Die raffinierte Rahmenhandlung erz hlt von zehn jungen Frauen und M nnern, die w hrend der damals grassierenden Pest aus Florenz fliehen und in einem Landhaus au erhalb der Stadt Zuflucht vor dem Schwarzen Tod suchen. Auf dem Landsitz genie en sie unbeschwerte zehn Tage, in denen sie einander hundert Geschichten - erotischer, frivoler, tragischer und lehrreicher Natur - erz hlen. Heute gilt das Dekameron als Ursprung der italienischen Prosa und als ein Werk, das die Weltliteratur nachhaltig beeinflu t hat. Die vorliegende Ausgabe beruht auf der sorgf ltig berarbeiteten bersetzung Albert Wesselskis und wurde mit erlesenen Kupferstichen bebildert.

Zu Beginn der 1350er Jahre verfasste Giovanni Boccaccio sein Meisterwerk, das Dekamerone. Zehn Personen, Frauen und M nner, haben sich in ein Haus nahe Florenz gefl chtet und versuchen sich zu unterhalten, so gut es eben geht angesichts der in der Umgebung w tenden Pest. F r jeden Tag bestimmen sie einen K nig, der ein Thema vorgibt. Zu diesem Thema muss sich dann jede und jeder eine Geschichte ausdenken, die den Anderen vorzutragen ist. Anschlie end kehren die Zehn nach Florenz zur ck.

Giovanni Boccaccios verdensberømte fortællekreds i ny dansk oversættelse Året er 1348. Ti unge mennesker flygter fra pesten i Firenze og tager ophold på et landsted uden for byen. Her underholder de sig i ti dage med at fortælle hinanden historier. Det er disse i alt 100 historier, der udgør Dekameron – den første store samling fortællinger i moderne europæisk litteratur. Det er historier om kærlighed og venskab, om kløgt og dumhed, om bedrag og hævn, og de spænder vidt: fra det humoristiske og erotiske til det dramatiske og tragiske. Dekameron er en milepæl i verdenslitteraturen. Den er en grundsten i den europæiske prosatradition og i novellegenren som sådan. Og ikke mindst er den et skatkammer af gode historier.

Originally published in 1985, this book contains a full translation of Giovanni Boccaccio's L'Ameto, alongside textual notes. Giovanni Boccaccio is famous for his great collection of short stories, the Decameron, but his other literary accomplishments are generally less well-known. Yet he helped revive the Latin eclogue and epistle and fostered the study of Greek; he made the major Renaissance compilation of classical myths, established the pastoral romance, and began formal Dante criticism. Among his more minor works belongs the Ameto, the first moden pastoral romance, translated here.

Originally published in 1986, this translated version of Giovanni Boccaccio's Il Filostrato is of particular interest as the principal source for Chaucer's great work, the Troilus. This edition includes the original Italian alongside the translation, so that even the English reader with no knowledge of Italian will be able to make out a good deal of the original assisted by a close translation.

Published in 1990: This book tells the life story of Dante, the poet and his work.
