"All that a life of this kind can contain Casanova put into his
story. And how much of the world!--the eighteenth century as you
get it in no other book; society from top to bottom; Europe from
England to Russia, a more brilliant variety of characters than you
can find in any eighteenth-century novel."--Edmund Wilson
Volumes 9 and 10 contain descriptions of Casanova's first visits
to England, Prussia, Russia, and Poland. In all these countries he
gained access to the Courts. Frederick the Great of Prussia and
Catherine the Great of Russia join the roster of potentates
entertained and charmed by the adventurer. Though beginning to age,
and ruing it, Casanova still manages to exert a powerful attraction
on women.
