The notorious adventurer and seducer Giacomo Casanova tells of his
travels - on the run from the authorities of his native Venice -
around northern Europe, poking fun at the ruling classes he
encounters there, before focusing on a pivotal incident that occurs
in Warsaw. Insulted by a Polish count over an Italian ballerina,
Casanova finds himself forced to challenge his rival to a duel, and
the sequence of events and their aftermath are described with gusto
by the narrator. A rollicking autobiographical account by one of
the most iconic figures of eighteenth-century Europe, The Duel is
presented here with an extract about the same event from Casanova's
memoirs, written fifteen years later.
