Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Memoirs of Casanova (1792) is the autobiography of Italian adventurer Giacomo Casanova, capturing the life of one of Europe's most infamous figures. Written towards the end of his life, it reflects his escapades as a gambler, womanizer, and socialite, showcasing his remarkable storytelling ability. Casanova embodies the Enlightenment's ideals in his pursuit of freedom, declaring, "whatever I have done in the course of my life... has been done freely; I am a free agent." Volume VII chronicles his journey from Paris, where he spent two years mastering the French language and clashing with authorities, to Vienna, a city ill-suited for his libertine ways. After a year, he tires of the Austrian constraints and returns to Venice, his birthplace. There, he experiences the volatile nature of fortune, oscillating between the highs of gambling success and the lows of loss. Despite his notoriety, he attracts enemies, including state spies, putting him at risk of disgrace and imprisonment. This edition features a beautifully designed cover and a professionally typeset manuscript, presenting Casanova's Memoirs as a classic of European literature, reimagined for contemporary readers.
