book entry at Wikipedia

The Decameron book by Giovanni Boccaccio - 1573 edition censored by Council of Trent   In the mid-1300s, as the Black Death was decimating Europe, the Italian writer Boccaccio imagined an escape from the city by members of the aristocracy: seven young women and three eligible men retreat to the countryside, where they go for walks, drink, and sing. In real life, as much as 60 percent of the population in Boccaccio’s home town of Florence was dying in agony; in his alternative vision, the characters meet each day to share ten stories on a new theme. Not all of Boccaccio’s stories are successful, but together the stories made a mark: nearly 700 years after they were written, the Decameron remains “probably the [raunchiest] great book in the Western canon”
