Memoirs of Casanova (1792) is the autobiography of Italian
adventure and socialite Giacomo Casanova. Written at the end of his
life, the Memoirs capture the experiences of one of Europe's most
notorious figures, a man whose escapades as a gambler, womanizer,
and socialite are matched only by his unique gift for sharing them
with the world. More than perhaps any other man, Casanova sought to
emulate the lessons of the Enlightenment on the level of everyday
life, a sentiment captured perfectly in the opening sentence of his
Memoirs: "I will begin with this confession: whatever I have done
in the course of my life, whether it be good or evil, has been done
freely; I am a free agent."Memoirs of Casanova Volume VIII finds
Giacomo Casanova back in Venice, his birth city. After years of
disgrace and failure, he has finally begun to succeed as a
professional gambler, frequenting the city's casinos and building
his already-infamous reputation. Amid so much excitement, he falls
for a beautiful nun, a chaste woman who shows signs of desire
despite her commitment to God. As their affections turn into a
heated affair, Casanova struggles to divide his public and private
lives, drawing attention to himself from local authorities looking
for any reason to throw him in prison for good. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of Giacomo Casanova's Memoirs of Casanova is a classic of European
literature reimagined for modern readers.
