Born in 1725 to Italian and Spanish parentage, Giacomo Casanova
lived a long and exciting life. A scholar and an adventurer
Casanova travelled widely throughout Europe and Russia associating
with rulers and Kings. For a time he was in the service of the army
and he became a great political stirrer. But he vacillated between
fortune and misfortune and often resorted to gaming and fiddling
too. Of course Casanova is most well-known for his womanizing and
he reveals time after time how he just couldn't help falling in
love! His eloquence and charm will not be lost on the listener
either: the writing is remarkably modern, accessible and funny too.
It took Casanova eighteen years to write his memoirs and a further
one hundred for them to be classified as genuine. Available now for
the first time on audio and brilliantly brought to life by the
effervescent Benedict Cumberbatch, in this first volume of his
memoirs Casanova charts his childhood and life as a young man in
Venice and Italy. Benedict Cumberbatch is one of Britain's
brightest young actors. He starred as Stephen Hawking in the BBC's
celebrated Hawking and plays the lead role in Michael Apted's 2006
film Amazing Grace. As well as his screen credits, Benedict has
worked extensively in theatre and radio drama and recently as
Sherlock Holmes in the popular TV series.
