Chapter 48 "Ten Days Talk", "Seven Days Talk" and "Five Days Talk"

"Ten Days Talk", "Seven Days Talk" and "Five Days Talk" Boccaccio's Like all great literary and artistic masterpieces, Buccaccio's is also talked about A lot, but a book that few people ever finish reading.Although we already have abridged not Complete Chinese translation, but it seems that just like many readers of Boccaccio in other countries, what we have read What you appreciate is nothing more than the anecdote about catching a nightingale or the story of the devil going to hell. In the history of Italian literature, Buccaccio's "Divine Comedy" was once known as Dante's "Divine Comedy".

The title of Dante's long poem is "Divine Comedy", which is called "Human Comedy".one is poetry, One is prose, the other describes the fantasy life in the future, and the other describes the real life in front of us.two Although the style and purpose of the two works are different, their achievements in literature and art are the same. A one-of-a-kind masterpiece produced by the century.In fact, what Boccaccio described and what Dante described Both are the same world, but Dante emphasizes life in this world and an imagined future in another. The relationship between the future world, while Bujiaqiu put aside the future relationship between man and "God", all focus on the present

All activities in this world.In his book, the world is the world, people are people, no matter what Or her occupation and status, they are all governed by human nature.This is what this work is called The reason for the "human song".Simmons said it well in his great book "History of the Italian Renaissance": "Dante in his Divine Comedy attempts to reveal the fundamental phenomena of the world, and give them permanent value.He starts from the relationship between humanity and God, and pays attention to the The relationship between the life in the world and the life beyond the grave.Buccaccio only focuses on the phenomenon of the world, without

What lies beneath the intention to seek experience.He described the world as the world he saw, and the flesh It is flesh, nature is nature, and does not imply that there is any spiritual problem.He will human life Live as a game of luck, humor, desire and wit.Dante from the mirror of his soul Zizhong inspects the world, Boccaccio uses his physical eyes; but the two poets and the novel writers take subject matter from the same human beings, and all show the same depth of understanding in their treatment." It is precisely because Buccaccio described the world in his novels too real, too

I have no scruples anymore, so I made this good book that should be a source of joy (the author himself said that writing this book This is the intention of the book), but it provoked a lot of ignorant confusion and narrow-minded jealousy.out of it Since its publication, this book has been included by the Vatican in their index of forbidden books. After five or six centuries, It has not been lifted yet.At the same time, during this period, the misunderstanding and stupidity expressed by hypocrites about this book I am ignorant, and have not been awakened by the progress of human culture.

Giovanni Buccaccio, the author of this book, his father is Italian and his mother My dear is French.He was born in Paris, and the date and time of his birth are not accurately recorded. Because his father met this French woman when he was a guest in Paris, about one or three years old. About one or three years.His father does not appear to have formally married the French woman afterwards, so someone It is said that Buccaccio, like Da Vinci, is also an illegitimate child, and some people even say that he is not this at all. Born to a French woman.But in any case, his French blood is a thing no one denies.

fact.Perhaps it is this origin that makes his work full of French medieval art. The unique wit, irony and humorous taste of literature. Buccaccio's father was a businessman. After he returned to Florence with his father, his father intended to made him a businessman, and later wanted him to study law, but none of these arrangements could prevent Buccaccio from Love of literature and poetry.He became an admirer of Dante and wrote a biography of Dante. It is still the most reliable source for the study of Dante's life.Like Dante's Bertrice, he too There was a lover, a married woman whom Boccaccio idealized and named Feyami

Da, used to compare with Dante's Bertrics, and later wrote a novel with this beautiful name. In addition to the above two works, Buccaccio wrote many long poems and prose, but he mainly His work is, and this book alone is enough to make him immortal. Written between 1348 and 1353.At that time Europeans had not yet invented printing, this book It was only circulated in borrowed manuscripts, and the first printed edition was not published until 1471, so the book It is also one of the earliest printed books in Europe. (Decameron)'s ingenious structure and the origin of its name are as follows:

Around 1348, there was a great plague in Florence, and death was everywhere. The population was empty, and the survivors fled to other places to avoid the epidemic.Among them are seven ladies and three Young people from rich families also escaped from Florence. We met in the villa on the top of the mountain.Because we met by chance, we had nothing to do, so we told each other stories. Things to kill the boring years among customers.At that time, everyone agreed to push one person to take turns as the master every day. God has a story to tell.In this way, a total of ten days were told, and a total of one hundred stories were told.Just the epidemic atmosphere

After that, everyone bid farewell to each other and went their separate ways.because these stories were told in ten days came, hence the title of the book. Bujiaqiu is really a first-class storyteller in ancient and modern times.here, his attitude The attitude is calm and solemn, without pointless accusations and ridicule, and without selling cheap sympathy.he doesn't pretend She is reserved and does not shy away from obscenity, but she is never obscene.Those one hundred stories can be said to include life In all aspects, some are humorous and some are serious and bleak, but he never preaches or abuses.

He compared nobles and commoners, ladies and whores, wise men and fools, brave men and cowards, saints and mortals. Husbands are regarded as the same, as one "person".And in life's arena, sometimes whores On the contrary, they are more virtuous than ladies, and fools are more advantageous than wise people, but the sanctimonious saints are often He will expose his true colors in front of ordinary people, arousing applause from the general audience, but at the same time It aroused the shame and anger of hypocrites and moralists.Because of this, although this It has been criticized and slandered from time to time, but it is still loved by millions of readers, so that they can enjoy Greatest entertainment in books. Most of the stories in the book were not created by Buccaccio, but were based on the adapted from various stories.Because storytelling and listening to stories was one of the most popular in the Middle Ages Fashion.Most of these stories come from the Middle East and India, some from Greek and Roman ancient books, some more It is a folk tale that has been handed down for a long time in European countries.After Buccaccio's ingenious interspersed and arranged, it is It has become a treasure trove of humane stories unique in ancient and modern times.At one time, some scholars in France Accusing Boccaccio of plagiarizing many fables in French folklore, but this is not true. Can damage the value in literature and art, just as Shakespeare and Chaucer although also from the "ten "Daily Talk" draws on their plays and long poems, but it does not reduce their achievements. In order to resist the inhuman asceticism advertised by the monks, he appeared in the dark middle ages Ji's book can be said to be a fire that opened the way for the later Renaissance movement. Because he first liberated the status and rights of "man" from the shackles.
