Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a translated collection of 15th-century Italian novellas. One of the most well-known pieces, "The Fat Woodcarver," is a humorous tale about a simple-minded woodcarver who is tricked by his friends into believing that he has become someone else. The woodcarver, known as the Fatso, is the subject of a practical joke by a group of Florentine artists and intellectuals, led by the architect Filippo Brunelleschi. They manage to trick the Fatso into thinking that he is no longer himself, but has become a man named Matteo. The story explores themes of identity, perception, and the power of suggestion. The author uses the Fatso's gullibility to demonstrate how easily people can be manipulated by those who understand their weaknesses. The book is a fascinating window into the social and cultural life of 15th-century Florence, providing insights into the values, beliefs, and humor of the period.
