La Fiammetta by Giovanni Boccaccio
"La Fiammetta" by Giovanni Boccaccio is a novel written between 1343 and 1344. Told as a confessional monologue, it follows Lady Fiammetta as she recounts her passionate affair with Panfilo, a Florentine merchant.

Characterized as the first psychological novel in Western literature, it offers an intimate portrait of
obsessive love and emotional torment. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
