Abstract

While the Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) is a famous and interesting work, it turns out that today’s young people in Georgia are not familiar with it. This work deserves more attention in the young adult generation. There are lessons to be learned from virtually all works of literature and a lot can be learned from this work. This study aims to determine the reason why the Decameron is less well known and then raise awareness about it. Primary research was held in the village of Shamgona. The target group was 20 to 40 years old. The study aimed to find out the reason why the Decameron is less well known among the target group and to plan what can be done to promote the writer's popularity among the young people. As part of the research, the author interviewed each participant twice and conducted a survey, which was anonymous. During the analysis, the probable causes were identified and interventions were identified and implemented.
