Now that I think about it, that anyone ever killed himself over this book seems really stupid.

Napoleon brought seven copies of this book with him to Egypt, what a dweeb.

They should have all been given copies of the Decameron and taught the lesson that life will give you plenty of opportunities to fuck other men's wives and if you don't succeed with one, move on and you will succeed with others, no need to gun yourself down at first failure.

Boccaccio saw the Black Death indiscriminately kill half of his city and watch civilisation collapse as consequence, and then witnessed its rebuild. He wrote the Decameron afterwards as an affirmation of life in the face of near annihilation, a synthesis of pagan and Christian worldviews against the total despair of the worst calamity the world has ever known.
