A Foray Into the Worlds of Animals and Humans with a Theory of Meaning by Jakob Von Uexkull, Jakob Von Uexküll

Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
Although back then groundbreaking - not new perspective and facts to me (quite into posthumanist theory); badly aged. While it is certainly an interesting piece to read on science history, currently I do not care to read for it's historical value.
The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio
